From her spot under the tree, the weary splotched mare cast a sorrowful look in her mother's direction. Her goodbyes had already been said and now was the time for the others to do the same. Misa knew all too well that her mother's time had come. Dropping her head again, she waited for the inevitable.

************************************************


Cymbra barely moved as her mate and youngest daughter spoke. Dappled sides, with her pelt stretched so thinly over her ribs, hardly seemed to budge when the battered mare breathed. Glassy eyes opened once more to drink in the sight of Cole and Ciri. A contented sigh drifted from her as she gathered her last reserves of strength and lifted her muzzle to gently touch against Cole, and then Ciri. A peaceful look drifted over the gray's face, almost smiling at her youngest's words.

"I love you too Ciri. Never forget it."

She managed to direct another powerful look at Cole, expressing to him with her gaze what she couldn't work up the will to say... how much she loved him, how much she would miss him, and how she would be waiting for him when he finally came to join her. This was her time to go, but she fervently hoped that her family knew that she'd always be there for them, somehow.

The gray mare took in the sight of her family one last time, put her head back down, and breathed her last breath.

**********************************************


Misa sighed deeply, knowing in her gut that her mother was gone forever. Grieving quietly, she rose stiffly and moved to her father and sister, pressing her side to her father and draping her head over Ciri's in a kind of horsey hug. Withdrawing from the embrace, she looked down to her mother's limp form, bending to lightly brush a nuzzle against her shoulder. Goodbyes never were Misa's forte, and this was no exception.


((OOC: Sorry about the long wait. I was out of town this weekend and it's been killer at work lately. I apologize for the prolonged absence and for this icky post. I've never been good at death scenes.))
