It was over.
Corona Crest and Oceanic Sunset lay in the green grass, staring up at the bright sun. Behind them were the caverns they'd once called home, now a place they could never return. The third member of their little party was off hunting, the only one with any energy left. The two did not speak a word for a long, long time.
"I don't get it," Sunset mewed quietly, scooching over ever so slightly to touch paws with Corona. "We saved them. Why were we kicked out?"
Corona exhaled, shrugged, rested her head against Sunset's shoulder. "I guess they just needed a scapegoat or something. Honestly. You and I brought the singing stones back, never mind kicking those stupid bobcats out. We should be getting painted on the walls for that."
"It's stupid," Sunset muttered, though her frustration was muted by Corona resting against her. "All those other cats helped us too. And we're the ones getting punished for no good reason?"
"It's not worth harping on any longer. There's nothing we can do."
They were quiet again for a long, long time. Their breaths synchronized into one as they curled together, finding solace in each other as the events of the past few days caught up to them. Corona was right; there really was nothing they could do. They would never be able to go back home, to see the good that came of their actions.
They'd just have to make a home together.
It was Sunset who again broke the silence. "What do we do now?"
"We wait for Rose to come back. After that..." Corona shrugged. "We could go anywhere we wanted."
"Anywhere?" A pensive, almost hopeful look came across Sunset's face. "What if we went to find the ocean I was named after? I've always wanted to see it."
"Then that's where we'll go." Corona gave her a gentle lick. "As long as I have you and you have me, I think we'll be okay."
