Silver:

Silver coughed again. She had a vary gray face now, her fur was grayer and her gait, already a limp, was slow. Silver's health was getting worse, but she may be one of the oldest wolves in the valley. She yawned, and squinted. Her eye sight was getting worse and worse. She suspected cataracts. Yawning, she lay down. She was stiff, but she rolled over and seemed to enjoy the relaxation that the warm sun.

Silver drifted off, dreaming of her sons, and only daughter. She dreamed of seeing them for the first time, when they had all been born. She dreamed of meeting her mate, when they had first met. She woke up, and yawned.

Zac looked up at the stars as they seemed to dance before him. He had loved Blu. He wanted to tell her that he loved her, that he wanted to one day have pups with her. He had left his pack behind and the usual habits of a wolf behind. But Blu had died only a few sunrises ago. All the time they had spent together felt like a blink of an eye. He should've convinced her not to go out alone, maybe than she wouldn't have been murdered by the ruthless wolf known as Shasar. Zac has spent the last few days miserable as he reflected on all of his mistakes. Than he almost stumbled on a a fragile elderly wolf. Oops he thought as he prodded her awake, he needed to know if she was okay. She looked ancient.

Silver:
Silver looked up at the male who had prodded her awake. She got, stiffly, to her three paws. "Hello young one. My name is Silver, who may you be?" she asked, blue eyes glinting in her silver fur. Her voice as still smooth, but more raspy and rough then it had once been, long long ago. Her son had had two daughters, who she had loved all their lives. Now Silver was just a lonely old wolf, living off of carcasses she found. She also was going deaf in her right ear. It annoyed her greatly. "Bit of advice, if you get to my age, join a pack. It gets harder and harder to even hear your own voice." she said with a slight glint in her eye.

"Oh I was just trying to see if you were okay, I almost stepped on you." He said dully, nothing mattered anymore. He so truly wished he had died instead of Blu. His shoulders drooped. Suddenly he felt another wolf brush up against his side. It was Blu herself, she was a starry outline. A spirit. He knew that if you were a good wolf you would come back as a ghost and be able to talk and spend time with the wolves you had left behind. "Oh, Zac I had no idea you felt that way. But there was nothing you could do to help me. But you mush help Spade and the rest of my tribe. You must. But my time on Earth is limited. Goodbye my love..." she turned and climbed into the starry night sky.

Silver:
Silver saw the ghost of the female. She remembered her ghostly son, and how his sorrow would never end as a ghost. She started crying softly, as she watched Blu leave. She looked at the young male, and lowered her head. "I know what it feels like to lose ones you love. I lost my son, my daughter, and my mate. I was lucky enough to have my son live, and my granddaughters. I do know what it takes out of you if the love of your life is gone." Silver said softly. She wished she still had her mate, her daughter, her two sons. She wished she could have kept them all young and in the years before the terror of this world became. Before Evil ruined young lives and took more then anyone could have ever thought. It had been so long since she had seen her family together. They where scattered to the winds, though she herd Halona's howls. It was the only connection to her family. "10 years ago I saw the loss of my leg, my son's innocence, and my Granddaughter's puphood."
