Zen
”I am the Dark side of The Light.”
I am glad my coat is not that ruffled, dusty thing like it was a year ago. Too much had happened, all at once. I’ve never experienced such sadness in my whole life. My home had been destroyed before my eyes, and there was nothing I could do. Innocent lives, taken in mere seconds. Packmates, friends, whole families, pups. It might not seem, but I am very sensitive. It had been too much for me, but I tried to hide it from everyone. The one good thing about the sadness, is it’s smell. Like fear, sadness has a scent. But it is very faint and very sweet. All emotions have different smells. With tears still fresh in my eyes, I found my brother some time ago. He was different. Sulan was older, much bigger and stronger than he was when we lived in Kyli’an.
My brother has now a leader’s mind. I respect him and I am very happy to see he is alive and well. He even has a mate. But I don’t think he is ready to be an alpha as he wants to be. He had been trained to, but his heart is still too soft. It was my choice to stay away from him as well for a while, for he needed time to think after I told him who his father really was.
For Heyel, I tried to approach him several times. But he seemed to be often surrounded by his old pack members. Not that I am not one, but I wanted to… Talk to him alone.
I know how sad he is. I can see it, feel it… I have been through the same, but he? Heyel had been through a lot more. He lost his mate, part of his family and part of himself. Sadness is one thing that cannot be hidden from me. I’m going to try my best, to be his friend at this moment, be a companion. He had been there for me when I needed him and I will be here for him whenever he needs me as well. Pack, is family. And… well… I don’t know if he ever knew it, but. I love him. After living with the white king for quite some time, I have grown to love him. With all the fun we had and all we had been through together. But he already had Zeivah as his mate and I would never think of… You know. Zeivah meant very much for him and I understand that, I could see how he was whenever she was around. It was as if he was even more strong, complete. There is only one thing I want and it is for him to be happy again. It breaks my heart to see a king, so broken.
I finally reached him, stepping on our lands again, walking through the forests of a new place. Every single leaf breathing new life, birds flying happily around announcing a new beginning to us all. A warm smile touched my lips. Our land has been returned to us finally. The sadness of the past is fading at last. There he was, Heyel. On top of a smooth rock, appreciating a good meal he had caught himself. I slowly approached the ivory king. Not as young as he was when he met me. But he would live much longer. I’m not so young as well. I finally came to a halt before him, my green eyes searched for his violet gaze and I offered a bow of my head. My tail waved behind me once.
- Heyel, - I called out - Good to see you again.
