Death did not scare him. Death was something he was well versed in. From his mother’s death, to Kaiodes, he knew the siren song of the angel all too well.
And now it was his turn.
It was peaceful really. After his encounter with the goddess on the beach, after seeing his long-lost son, he traveled back to his home and fell asleep. It’s funny how the world works, death seems to grab people at just the right times. He was not scared and he did not struggle, he simply fell asleep. When his eyes open she was there, a scrawny sorrel mare without much of a mane. Blue eyes striking but warm with love. Two outstretched wings welcoming him into her embrace.
“Oh Rou. How I’ve missed you.”
He fell into his mother‘s arms. He knew where he was.... he was home.
To Ellyse; thank you for being the first one to welcome me. I hope you’re happy, wherever you are.
To Tangerine and Warrick; thank you for being perhaps the only true friends I’ve ever had. I’ll never forget you or our times together.
To Longclaw; my blue brother, continue to be strong. You were a faithful comrade to me. I guess this is one race I couldn’t win.
To Solace; the daughter I never had. You were always so special to me. My little light, never let anyone burn out your flame.
To Phoebus; my boy, my son. Be strong for your mother. Wherever your journeys take you, know I’ll be there to watch you. I love you.
To AuroraElis; last, but definitely not least. Aurora, You picked me up when I was at the end of my rope, and you showed me what true love was. Don’t cry for me my love, I will always be right beside you. I love you more than you’ll ever know.
Mama and Kaiode - I’m ready. I’m coming home.
