**Sah**

"If I can't move the heavens above, I will move Hell"

Sah walked silently through the Mourn, his steps feeling heavy nonetheless. The canine had been in Caido for just over a season now, enough time to adjust. Enough time to settle. And finally there was time to grieve. He had been wary though of where he could possibly pay tribute to those he lost in his home world. Where in Caido could he mourn for those lost in his own world? It seemed sacrilegious and disrespectful to go to the cemetery within Halo. That and his kind were wild creatures. It seemed most fitting to go to the Mourns. Risky yes, particularly to go alone, but fitting.

The moonlight caught on the plants and offerings spread throughout the meadow, leaving bizarre shadows that seemed to twist in the wind. Sah chose a secluded spot, away from the other offerings and sat down in the grass. Out of his bag he brought out the pelt and antlers of a luxere he had hunted, laying them on the grass as an offering.

Letting out a sigh he closed his eyes, hoping that his whispered voice would reach the souls of his pack, wherever they may be. “I survived. How, I don’t really know. But I’m in a new world, a new body. It’s unfathomable at times to comprehend.” Sah shook his head. “I’ve done the best that I can to adapt but it’s been a struggle. I miss you all. Not having you by my side aches. I wish you were here, and that we could run as a pack again. I don’t even know if you can hear me right now. Or if you even survived or if you remained in our world. I’m sorry that I couldn’t protect you all or prevent the end. I failed you as an Alpha. I know you likely don’t blame me and that there's nothing I could have done… but still. I’m sorry. I wish you all of the best and hope that our Goddess Mune guides you wherever you may be. Thank you for everything. For sticking by me, for your support, your love and your trust. Maybe one day I’ll see you again.” Sah’s voice shook slightly as he finished saying his goodbyes. He remained sitting where he was for some time, as the moon went from rising to reaching its peak. He couldn’t bring himself to leave just yet.

There stood the wolf in the winter wind
Full of fearsome might
There stood the wolf in the winter wind
King of the winter night.
