Lupus frowned deeply, and raised his voice. "RHAIN! SOMEBODY! ANYBODY!" He paused in midstep, freezing at the edge of a cliff and staring up at the sky.
"RHAIN, PLEASE!" he howled despairingly.
Oh, how I hate Verlust right now...

Still no answer.
Still silence.
Still cold.

Panicked now, Lupus howled again. And again. And again.
"Dear GoldenWolf, not again..."
In the cold stillness of the area, Lupus couldn't help but realize how similar this place was to his own Realm. Oh, the bitter silence and loneliness... Decades of time spent in that solitude. Driving yourself mad with revenge...
Only this time, he didn't want revenge. He wanted release from his guilt, and he wanted his love to come back to him.
He swiveled about, ears back and eyes narrowed with rage. "VERLUST!" he snarled, racing back torwards the meadow.
And he saw Verlust.
The white fae was sitting, a Spring flower in her hand. She tore petals from its stem. Sensing Lupus' approach, she began to sing: "He loves me, he loves me not, he loves me, he loves me no-- Oh, hello, Lupus."
"SHUT THE HELL UP!" Lupus roared. "I will not lose Rhain to this, do you understand me? Nothing you do will make me give up on her! On us! So wipe that smirk off your face and fight me!"
Without waiting for a reply, he was on top of Verlust, growling furiously.
Instantly, Verlust twisted into her albino snake form, pale scales shining in the light as the dodge Lupus' fangs and dug her own into his spine.
Snarling in agony, Lupus fell to the ground, clutching his neck as the venom ran its course.
"Damn you," he hissed, hunched over. Everything was becoming numb, and he slowly fell to the ground, immobile.
"And damn you too, my pet," the snake answered evenly, slithering away.... and disappearing in a flash of white light.
Tears of ire running down the sides of his face, Lupus waited to assess the damage.
He realized that none of his limbs would budge.
He wasn't going anywhere.

Rhain sighed heavily, appearing in a sunny haze before him. "Fighting old battles again, Lupus? You've faced many in your time, but they are of the past now. Dark times are coming indeed, but Verlust is not the one to fear," she seemed barely recognizeable as she went about her work of healing him. Her eyes were clouded over, and her aura held hints of prophecy. "Something is stirring here, but you need to stop bringing back ghosts of the past. If you don't....you'll miss what's happening now and then the packs are damned!" She didn't look him straight in the eyes, since tears were forming in hers. "You keep living in the past. But it is over. If you can't let it go....then you and I a-are over. I didn't live the same lives you did, but i-if we can live in the same, w-we can't g-go back to our old." She gently touched his spine with her muzzle, the healing bonds of Spring Fever entering his bones.

(Oh, boy-- happy hour :  Lupus diverted his eyes, suddenly feeling quite.... what was it? Guilty, yes. But also relieved that Rhain had returned. "I thought you ditched me," he mumbled lightheartedly, limbs still aching from the poisonous dose. "You should know by now not to leave me alone... I beat myself up when I'm alone." A glimmer of amusement was in his eyes... and then he realized that he was acting happy. ".... you gave me Spring Fever again, didn't you?" |

"It's the only thing I can give you, Lupus. All I can give you is my love. I'm sure she could give you so much more," He words were so soft that they were scarcely audible, but she was sure he had heard. She offered him a half-smile, eyes watering.

"Who? Verlust?" Lupus growled distastefully. "There is no genuine love in a relationship with the devil, my pet." He narrowed his eyes and the words my pet come out as a hiss.
Then, forcing himself to steady his anger, he added, "I live and die for one wolf now, Rhain. And that wolf is standing right in front of me."

Rhain looked behind her, then turned slowly back at Lupus. "And who might that be?" She smiled down at him, sunlight radiating from her. She bent down and licked his nose softly. "Really, I don't see anybody there!"

Lupus smiled. "Just use your imagination," he whispered softly. Her reached up and, ignoring the soreness of his neck, licked the tip of Rhain's nose in return.

"Hmmm....I can't possibly imagine a wolf pretty nor witty enough for you, dear Lupus," she admitted, laying down beside him so he would not have to stretch. "She must be simply remarkable."

"Oh, but she is!" Lupus replied. "She's smarter than me-- way smarter than me-- and has the loveliest eyes." He smiled. "She's so beautiful, that she makes me cry roses."

"Hmm, roses...." she buried her face in Lupus' side, closing her eyes and sighing softly. "I wonder if Death ever maneuvered his way out of having pups with Slash...." she yawned, not bothering to open her eyes.

Lupus chuckled softly. "To tell you the truth, I have no idea.... But I would love to find out." He paused for a moment. "I wonder what the pup's name-- or names-- would be?"

Rhain snorted with laughter. "Hm. Knowing those two, I would guess something like Slaughter and....hm....Murder." she allowed her mind to picture two little wolf pups dancing around with knives.... "Okay, that's a little freakish..."

Lupus laughed. "Ahh, I can only imagine a little Deathling..." He laughed again. "Maybe we'll be surprised... Scratch could want to name the pup Flower or something!" He rolled his eyes in sarcasm. "I wonder how Death would take to having a baby girl."
