Quickened that fleeting spark, nestled in stilled diaphragm, contained a spread racing along each nerve, an ache built upon until —
Soundless the loss, a rush that bore a bitter aftertaste prominent against tongue, kin to the last long since gone. Flakes disturbed by the sudden expulsion dance and twirl, a directionless momentum, after trailed dark vision. Known fine fragments, ashen remains of wood and flesh alike, unlike this. Chilled their touch against frigid nose, sudden the twitch, the desire to sneeze barely suppressed. It is though almost laborious seems the movement of cranium, dark the swaths obscuring, manner lips curl with displeasure not visible. Not alike that experienced before, different this, slurry the partially melted blanket upon which steps were made.
Strange the manner of locomotion, the synced movement of a secondary set of limbs guided by something unidentified, instinct maybe, or experienced the muscle where the brain lagged behind. Difficult to grasp the naked state of paws as well, removal of covering necessary, to soil them unthinkable, chill making numb paws languid in their pace. At the least heavy still the weight adorning, over sides ebony spill ruffled by sparse breeze, the signifier of a life concluded maintained. Warm it, though shoulders strained, minute the tremor, fragile this shell they had found acted as their own.
A cruel joke, their rejection met with hardship, the unknown given to them when abandoned the supposed peace of a dream woven paradise. Better it than nothing, low drawn the hood over eyes that never stilled, loose the binding of dark fabric covering lower jaw and throat. Time all that was needed for adjustment, an acceptable price that may be paid. For now continued their trek through this frostbitten land, unknown their close proximity to an edge that deemed it as owned.
