ACERO | Warrior | Starris | Tagging: Open | Location: Starris Meadow
Acero blinked open his dark blue eyes. Where was he? Everything seemed so...silvery. So sparkly. His own pitch black pelt now shone with...stars. Like the night sky. "Starris...sky-dogs! I’m a sky-dog? Athena!"
Looking out over the Packs, he sought the young Huntress. Tears filled his eyes. He’d protected her, just as he had promised he would, but he’d given his life, which meant he could no longer help her. It had been Shadow. Shadow, his own sister. He didn’t blame her, but he’d seen that Athena did. Don't kill her, don’t send her to me... His eyes found Mattias, who had joined them on the hill, and he longed to howl for Mattias to take care of her, but he knew his red furred friend would not hear him if he did. He also knew that even if he didn’t ask aloud, Mattias would take care of her anyway. He made no secret of his affections for the she-wolf. Acero had known. He’d known Athena had cared for him in a way more than just a simple friend, but he had been literally old enough to have been her grandfather. Mattias, three years his junior, and only a year and a half older than her, would be kind and good to her, and more...on the same level.
"I hope...she can find a place for him in her heart in place of me, one day," the former Warrior murmured, though he knew that no one would hear. "More than anything...I hope she finds happiness."
