stay inside the salt circle
Delphia was silent as Remi returned with the stiff limbed Delah. Silent as they shifted and tore off into the night. Silent as he returned bloodied, carrying her limp form. Silent as the black shadowy kitten clambered up to hide in her hair, peering at the soul it knew it could not take.
"Oh, Delah." she breathed, shaking her head slowly, a loving smile on her lips. It was soft, almost chiding, but equally amused. The great protector of the wood, so fierce in spirit seemed so peaceful and small at the steps of death. There was the briefest twinge on her heartstrings - Delah had always been one of the few Fae to accept her as another being and protector of the Greatwood in her own way - and her physical loss would indeed be felt. But the joy she felt knowing her dear friend could finally rest free of the weight of worldly chains far outweighed any sadness.
She held out a hand towards her, head tilting ever so slightly. "Tell me, Greatwood Guardian, have you any regrets?" she asked.
