"no!"
the cry shattered the serene silence of the towering snowy cliffs.
his eyes stung, though not from the biting wind. cruel claws of stone closed around his heart. sobs rose in his throat.
his anguish was not for his paws, rubbed raw by the rough stone. his anguish was not for the wind that parted his thick fur and chilled his bones.
what was the point of such an accomplishment if a friend was lost?
the wind whistled past, blocking out the possible sound of a body hitting the jagged rocks below.
perhaps it was better that way. he remembered Siffrin's sad eyes as his paw slipped and he tumbled from the cliff toward the ground, so far away. "it's up to you," he'd whispered.
swallowing back his sorrow, he stumbled away from the edge. there he unsheathed his claws and scratched in a patch of softer rock:
Farra and Siffrin
he had no fear of scaling cliffs or standing high above the world, but he was broken inside. it had torn a hole in his heart which could never be filled.
his grief would only be diminished when he reunited with Siffrin months later, who'd miraculously survived.
