Of course Ophelia could not create fire, that much did not surprise Ktulu. Nothing about her pale sister reminded the darker mare of fire. No. No, everything about Ophelia alluded to winter, snow, and ice as did everything about Tinek. Sometimes she thought that Ophelia was the personification of ice. There were times when she was so very cold and distant, beautiful, yet deadly in a quiet way that was not threatening at first. And so she thought of herself as the fire to Ophelia's ice. Violent and raging, barely containable, deadly, threatening, always smoldering just beneath the surface. It was why they did not always see eye to eye, but being so different was also what drew them together. They were fire and ice.

Yin and Yang.

Ophelia and Ktulu.

But at that moment they were both cut from the same cloth. They were both hurting in ways that had before been thought unimaginable. Their hearts shattered into a million different shards, worlds turned upside down in an instant. Her eyes shifted to Torleik and she watched him as he said that he could not create fire but his companion could. She nodded her head then turned to begin gathering sticks and small branches along with Eytan to build the pyre. Her movements were slow as she gathered the materials she needed because each stick meant that she was getting closer to saying a final goodbye to her mother. She had taken for granted that Soleil would always be there when they needed her. Death had been the farthest thing from her mind whenever she thought about her mother, but it seemed that even death could snuff out the sun.

Ktulu placed the last of the sticks that she had gathered and stepped back several paces, ears tilting forward as Torleik placed flowers with her. Why had she not thought of that? Eytan came to sit next to her and Tinek next to him. Torleik's companion was already on the pyre, waiting for the signal that Ktulu found herself hesitating to give. The Constrictor took in a deep breath then nodded her head that it was time. "I'll find him."She whispered as the flames began to lick at the dried sticks and branches.
