Story~
Vitani steps into the dark den after all Lyra's children had said their goodbyes, the sound of her pawsteps and some shallow breathing are the only noises to be heard, she lays down next to her old friend and touches noses with her. "well what brings you to my den old timer?" Lyra wheezes out. Vitani gives a small chuckle, tears forming in her eyes, grief choking her words. "You're one to talk." Lyra gives a small smile and heaves a heavy sigh. "i'll miss you Vitani." Vitani closes her eyes and starts to groom her friend. Lyra lets out a rumbling purr, and closes her eyes, her breath getting quieter. They groom eachother for a couple minutes then Lyra speaks, opening her milky eyes she looks at Vitani and smiles, "Don't be sad, we will see each other soon enough.-" A coughing fit stops her, Vitani winces at the sight of her friend. A once beautiful and powerful lioness, full of life and sassiness, now a graying heap on the floor. With each cough Lyra's body shakes then she recovers wheezing, "Besides Keira should be joining me any day now..." Blinking slowly Lyra places her paw on Vitani's, "Don't be too sad my friend." Vitani bites her tongue in an effort not to wail out her sorrows. Lyra closes her eyes her breathing getting quieter, and with a final heave of her chest she rasps "good-bye" then the den is silent. "I miss you already..." Vitani chokes out with grief. Pushing her nose to Lyra's cheek she starts to cry. Nightmare comes in and nudges Vitani to her paws and leads her out of the den. as Nightmare passes her brother Ares he nudges her shoulder, grief in his eyes. Vitani's tail droops as she passes Mistletoe and Kenji, only 5 months and wailing for their mother. The whole clan is out now, Zuko nods at Vitani, "Her burial will be at moonhigh. She always had a glow about her in the moonlight."
