As the moon rose in the sky a small figure sat on one of the higher hills near the dens
Sirhaan stared softly into the distance. Her eyes had been healed from the necklace, it had scarred her neck though. She didn’t care, everything other than that seemed to be fine. One thing was off, her heart had not healed, it had been hurting ever since the incident. It wasn’t an injury that could be healed by herbs or magic. As tears dripped down her face she remembered all the memories she had of her and Artemis, before he was crazy.
Sirhaan yelped as Artemis pounced on her with a ‘Gotcha!’ She struggled and laughed as she tried knocking him off of her. Their parents watched in the background, talking amongst themselves until the alpha called them.
Darkness, starvation, death. She and Artemis fought for their lives as wolves attacked them. A long howl rung out at which everyone fled except the remaining members of their pack. Right then and there they had sworn to never leave each others side, no matter what.
The arena, Neomari falling limp below her, Artemis screaming in the crowd, the disappointment in her brothers eyes.
To her the world seemed entirely against letting her live even a slightly happy life. Everything had to be ruined, she saw the futures were everything went good. Artemis was rid of evil, and they had gone on to have pups and live full, happy lives in Frost Bite.
She had still had the necklace on when these futures disappeared, she watched as they crumbled in her mind into nothing more than dreams and fantasies. She tried to scream, but the vine strangled it out of her.
Growling she looked at the fairly clearly visible moon and snarled, “Why? I try to be happy! I’m a good person! I know I am! I.. i know..” Her yell turned into a mumble, tears continued to drip down her face, as quietly as snow fell on grass.
Her mumbling turned into quiet singing, a song for the Artemis she had lost. Knowing he probably wouldn’t hear it, she didn’t care.

Death is a common occurrence. A natural one. But, the death of Aretmis never sat well with Ursus. It had to be done, and he'd have killed Artemis himself had MoonSong not done so, but it never should have come to that. "I should've inquired as to what that necklace was." Ursus says to himself as he enjoys the nights cold air, not being able to sleep wit unrest in his heart. It is then, as if on Que that Sirhaan's sounds of distress reach him. "This pain, stems from my lack of insight and making the wrong choice." Ursus huffs as he makes his way towards Sirhaan's den to see if he may ease her pain with his company.

Felan awoke fairly late, he had been sleeping to prepare for what he would be doing. Immediately noticing Sirhaan wasn’t by his side he walked out of her den and stood, sesrching for her.
Sirhaan cried quiet tears as she finished, watching as they fell and left imprints in the snow

Ursus arrives at the destination that was intended, but the goal was not there. Spotting Felan, Ursus approaches. "G'morning. I heard Sirhaan, so I assumed she'd be over here due to the time. I was mistaken once more apparently. Any idea where she may be? If not I'll start tracking." Ursus says grimly.

Felan nods, “Good morning. I was just awoken by her.” He looks around for a moment before staring off towards the hill, “She’s there.” He nods his head, amd sighs, “Were you wanting to talk privately? Ill leave you two alone if you were.”

"Up there huh?" Ursus says softly, mainly to himself before addressing Felan. "It... May be best if we speak in private, I need to apologize for how all that business with Artemis turned out. And I need to apologize to you too, Felan. I am sorry I did not pull you aside to inquire as to what the nature of said necklace was. I should have."

He nods, “I understand. And don’t blame yourself too much. I should’ve destroyed that necklace as soon as I saw it.”

Ursus shrugs "Eh. Oh well. Things couldve been worse though thats for sure. Anyways, I'd best catch up to her, just in case. I'll see you later, Felan." And with that, Ursus bounds through the snow with all he has towards Sirhaan. "Sirhaan? Are you up here?" Ursus calls out, not attempting to alarm her.

Sirhaan perks her ears to the voice of Ursus, she dries her tears as she lays down and weakly says, “I’m here.” Before lowering her ears again

Ursus slows to a trot and lay's next to Sirhaan. "Hey." He says softly. "I wanted to see how you were doing. I understand this to be hard on you and in some way's this is my fault. I should have inquired as to what the nature of the necklace was. I apologize, Sirhaan for making the wrong choices and failing you as your leader, and potentially even as a friend. I was supposed to look out for your well being and I failed. I hope that in time I will be able to earn that trust back."

Sirhaan looks up concerned, “Ursus I don’t blame you or anybody else. I’m sorry you have to deal with my family.” She sighs and lays her head down, “I just don’t understand. Me and Artemis were so close, after the day I killed Neomari, I was all of the sudden evil and a terrible being who deserved nothing more than to die. Nobody looked at me the same after that.” She lowers her eyes to the ground, “I failed my beloved, his sister, and even my own brother. I knew he was hurting, but.. I did nothing. I let him struggle only to be beat down by those around him. When I tried to help it was already too late, he even refused to call me his sister and at one point threw me over a waterfall.” A single tear falls from her cheek. “Now Artemis is gone, I know he was evil.. but,” She pauses and sighs, “I hate to say this.. but Artemis.. I loved him.. more than Felan.” She stutters as she remembers all the times she neglected him to be with Artemis.

Ursus nods in silence for a moment. "Don't be sorry, I'd rather be with you to help you through a problem than to let you deal with it alone. Doesn't matter what it is. I... Understand the last sentiment, not too far off from my past. As you can see though, time does heal the wounds left behind, is just easy going that's needed for a while to let that happen. You are well loved here, Sirhaan. I am sorry for the way you were treated by the stupid and foolish and that it led to the death of your love but.... I am not sorry it led to you. I am not sorry we got to meet and become friends, and to start a new life here. Call me selfish if you will but I am grateful you are here with us."

Sirhaan smiles softly and leans onto him, “Thank you, Ulver.” She almost whispers. After a few moments of silence she flicks her ear, “What did you do with Artemis? I felt it when he died, the futures I saw with him not being evil vanished. I wanted to say something but the vine wouldn’t let me.”

Ursus thinks back before answering. "Well lets see... I seem to recall frantically trying to get the vine off you, and in my desperation I hoped his blood would remove the item, so I took out his heart and placed its blood upon the necklace to no effect. Ah, after that lets see... I believe his sister some how managed to get free of the necklace of her own volition and in exchange for releasing you I told her about how to safely cross into one of the lands of the dead. She wanted you to know that she had forgiven you and that harm coming to you or anyone was not what she wanted. She passed on peacefully. As for Artemis. I know not where he goes but if he goes where I did, I hate to say it but he may be tormented for a very long time due to the nature of the place."

Sirhaan whines softly, she stays silent for a while before speaking without looking up, “I’m sorry. I put you and the rest of the pack in danger. Had I stayed away Artemis wouldn’t have caused all of this. I know you say I’m welcomed and loved here, but I feel like that’s too kind. Your lives were in danger, and it was my fault.” She looks down at the ground. The other Sirhaan, whom mostly stays in the subconscious mind speaks, “Artemis wasn’t the only one. My entire pack was messed up in some way after the war. My father went mad, Felan killed our mother. Nothing was the same.”
