Rhys

Rhys saw nothing but a blinding white light.

Even if he placed his hands in front of his face it brought tears to his eyes if he dared open them. He screamed and though he felt the vibration in his throat, he heard no sound and wondered if he might have gone back to the Aurora to meet his father.

He thought of Damon and no sooner had he done so than the black wolf appeared before him in a great silhouette, blocking out the light like an eclipse, and Rhys reached out for him, desperate to feel his touch.

“Damon!” he shouted. “Damon!” but again he heard nothing, only the buzzing emptiness all around him. His throat was aflame from the effort of the shouting and when he could take no more he fell to his knees and let the tears he’d refused to shed come flooding forth.

Damon couldn’t hear him and the only reason for that was because Rhys had passed on, returned to the light from which he and all wolves were born. His home was above Aurora Falls now, along with all the great wolves who’d come before him. He’d always wanted to meet his heroes and perhaps now he’d gotten the chance.

When he opened his eyes again to blink away the tears, he saw only darkness. The image of Damon had melted into the blackness and Rhys found it suddenly difficult to breathe. The weight of his own body vanished and he felt as if he were floating or falling, he couldn’t tell which, at a rapidly increasing rate until at last he crashed into something heavy and once more was blinded by white light.

Something red and sinister swam into his view and he realized it was the Blood Eye staring back at him. Blinking away the moisture and blur, he sat up slowly through the pain that seemed to rack his entire body and found himself surrounded by wolves, wolves he recognized who were just as wounded as he was. Snow whipped around them, stinging Rhys’s snout and face. He desperately searched through the blanket of snow for Damon but he was nowhere to be found. Images of a battle, of bloodshed and cries of pain returned to him. He would have given anything to erase those images from his mind but he knew they were as much a part of him now as his child was.

“You’re awake,” an even voice said and Rhys turned to find Knox Lunalis sitting on his haunches, the hint of a smile on his face.

“Where are we?” Rhys asked. “Where’s Damon and the others?”

“We are near the White Tail den. Some of our friends are with us, others have gone back to the Light,” Knox said, the smile falling from his face faster than the snow from the sky and Rhys felt as if he’d been hollowed out in an instant.

“Damon?”

“Damon is with us,” Knox said.

“Then who…?”

“My brother has moved on,” Knox answered, looking down at his paws.

“Knox, I’m so sorry,” Rhys said.
