Jisrun's eyes were chocked with tears as Aella named her remaining pups. He couldn't speak.... Oh, Poppy...I wish you could be here to see this...Lopus, take care of the firstborn...she'll be at peace now. Never have to worry or feel loss in life. Maybe she will find my Poppy and they well race through the skys together.

Aella smiled and licked his cheek. "You know, if we were the same age and I didn't have such a wonderful mate, I would be your mate if you liked it or not." Aella joked. The conversation was getting to emotional and Aella wasn't the type to talk about feelings. Aella wrapped her pups closer to her with her tail.

Jisrun laughed, "Then Kludd would be all alone. Don't you worry about me...I still have my Poppy. In here..." he touched the place were her heart beat in her chest. He leaned down and touched his nose to Winter and then his little name sake. He stood and watched mother and pups protectively.
Rose barked in joy when her pups were born. "Leo, Lyric, Silvermoon, Kioko and Raven" She named them, giving each a lick as she did.

Gryphon sat down lazily and scratched behind his ear, chuckling to himself. Lupis, this she-wolf was forward! "I'll not be chasing you away...we both caught this elk...we shall both eat it." he winked, purposely ignoring what she had said and twisting her words just to see what she would say next. He was quite amused by her efforts.
Jisrun laughed, "Then Kludd would be all alone. Don't you worry about me...I still have my Poppy. In here..." he touched the place were her heart beat in her chest. He leaned down and touched his nose to Winter and then his little name sake. He stood and watched mother and pups protectively.
"Then Poppy is a lucky wolf now is she?" Aella said with a sly smile. She wrapped herself around the pups and licked the dead one. She closed her eyes and tried to rest, but no sleep came, Aella just processed what has been happening.
"I was just wondering," she mumbled.
Gryphon sat there a while, his tail thumping in amusement. "I've always been a loner..." he finally said. "I guess I always will be...the last few years have been very hard on me." he looked at her and smiled. "If you had seen me a few months ago you wouldn't have recognized me as the same wolf...I was thin as a bone, always running, trying to escape from the clutches of a revenge-filled wolf." he sighed and ate some more of the elk. "But something happened...the day came where I could no longer wanted to run...no longer fight this wolf. He chased me down and could have killed me...he should have for what I had done. I was a pup when I made my mistake...my family lived in a sort of pack with a few other wolves. One other family had five pups and used to play with them. One was my closest friend and I had a crush on one of his sisters. His name was Marble...and we used to get into so much trouble!" Gryphon laughed at the memory. "We were born close to snowfall and since Marble was pure white he would hide in the snow, I would cover him up and then lead one of the pups or a grown wolf over...telling them I had found something interesting. Then Marble would jump out and we would make a run for it before the surprised and angry victim had a chance to grab us!"
Gryphon's smile vanished. "But one day, when our parent's were out hunting, we found a fire some hunters had started. Marble and I were so scared but we tried to throw dirt on it to put it out but...there were too many dry things. It raced toward our dens and I froze...i couldn't move. Marble screamed at me to help him as he vainly tried to drag in siblings out of the smoke but I couldn't...I couldn't move....A burning branch fell on Marble and... i fled...I ran far away. I left them to die, Willowpelt...I was a coward. I ran..."
Gryphon's eyes were dull and sad as he stared out towards the mountains. A single tear fell down his nose as he cleared his throat gruffly and continued.
"Marble survived too...I don't know how. But the blow to the head must have also erased most of his memory. But he remembered me and it was months before I knew he was alive. I barely recognized him...he was covered in horrible scars, his eyes cold and hard unlike the happy fun-loving pup I knew. He blamed me for the death of his family...If i had only helped, he said, they may have survived. When I saw him...like a waking nightmare...I ran. I'm a big wolf...were about the same size and I knew I could take him down i he attacked me but...what he said...it was true...." Gryphon sighed. "Anyway...fear made me half the wolf I once was...reducing my powerful form into a thin sniveling coward that I was. And he caught me...I came to him actually. I just wanted him to end it...perhaps, if I died, the anguish over what I had done would die with me. But Marble just looked at me...hate burning from his icy-blue eyes. Then he just turned and walked away.
I've never seen him since. I found a place to settle down...a home where I could enjoy the beauty of life that I took from Marble's family...My guilt will never leave my heart."
Gryphon sat there for a while...pain and sadness contorting his usually happy features...than he shook himself and looked back to Willowpelt. "I told you it wasn't nice...perhaps you will not want to stay with me now you know what a coward I am. And you wold be wise to leave."
(And THAT my friends is a major plot twist....if you didn't catch that....muwahahah!!!)

Willowpelt listen carefully to every word he said. Tears streamed down her face a few times. She looked at him and nodded a 'no'. She didn't want to leave him. "I'm not leaving you," she said. "Because I.. I.." she paused looking up at a large tree. "because I love you," she stated, hoping he wouldn't be harsh. She turned her head waiting for his rejection.
Aella stopped for a second. She nodded and touched the pups nose with hers. Aella felt a few tears fill up her eyes, but she fought it back. "Thank you, Dad." She finally said.

Jisrun licked Aella's ear then then gently picked up the dead pup. He carried her off towards where he burried Poppy...his heart remembering the last time he had made this hard walk.
