Her song makes me feel like the luckiest wolf in the entire world. The joy in it danced through the cave and it is so sweet to my ears. The light shines down upon her, and for a moment I believe that she may just vanish from in front of me like an angel, but I have touched her, so I know she is real. Her voice slowly fades, the cave once more falling to silence. She looks at me, and I look back, simply staring at her beauty and everything she is.
My eyes stay locked upon her as her banner wags and she moves towards me. I stay grounded to the spot, my body frozen in its desire for her to be near, to touch. There is no hesitation as she buries her muzzle into my chest, and I in return nuzzle her cheek affectionately, my body aching for the contact. She is my imprint, my soul, and I am anything she wants me to be, I will be whatever it is she decides I am to her.
She laughs into my chest. "Angel.." she breathes, pulling back slightly to look at me. "Only for you." Apart of me is pleased that this side of her, this lovely side is all for me and only for me. It is the greedy side of me that does not want to share her beauty, her laughter with anyone. Yet I know if her heart chooses another I shall let her go, though I will always be there for her, to be her shadow stalker.
She leans into me, and soon silence envelopes us. She breaks it suddenly, with words into my chest. "Come my Reich, let us return to the entrance." she says sadly. I feel my heart be squeezed by the saddness, because I do not want this to end, I do not want her to leave me. But I know that all good things must come to an end eventually, and I know I will see her again. My heart and soul will seek her out and I will always find her.
She gently pushes against me, before reluctantly stepping away. Her eyes still stared at me with happiness, but they lacked the light from earlier, dimmed by the sadness of separation. "Guide me into your shadows?" she asks playfully, giving me a wink that makes my heart flutter. I nod, offering her a smile, but there is the sadness of leaving her written on my face.
There is still time, between the walk from here to the entrance, not much but just enough. Every second spent in her presence was cherished, and I would see her soon enough. I started moving to the exit of our little paradise, purposely moving slow so she was always near me. I stopped, looking back at her and then the small cave, smiling a peaceful smile, before turning and slipping back into the darkness with my angel Everlyse.
