when the sky turns gray and everything is screaming
i will reach inside just to find my heart is beating

Ktulu stared in silence as the flames slowly came to life and began to consume what was left of her mother's body. The stench of decay and burning hair was sour and burned her nose and she found that she wanted nothing more to turn and run away as fast as she could. She wanted to find some way to purge the sight of her mother's corpse from her memory, but it would never happen. Not for her and certainly not for Ophelia. They would be stuck with the memory of finding Soleil's body. She could only hope that the burial they were giving her would be enough to ease the pain the memory would bring back.

Her ears twitched and she turned her head to look at Torleik as he began to sing in a language that was unknown to her. Crimson eyes never left him as he sang, and she found that his voice soothed some of the pain that was tearing her heart apart. As his song ended and the crackle of the flame became more audible Ktulu turned her head back to the dwindling pyre. It would be gone soon and in its place would be the charred bones of her mother. No one would know who it was that died there; she would probably just be considered another pile of bones to anyone who happened upon her. There was such a lack of respect among everyone in Helovia that it was only a matter of time until her gravesite was was defaced and her bones vandalized. It inspired rage within the dark mare that was only sedated when her sister spoke.

"We did right by her, Ktulu."

"Did we?" Ktulu's voice was uncharacteristically soft. Had they really done right by their mother? Was it not their choices that had driven a wedge between Paladin and Soleil that left the mare alone in her last years?

"And we can honor her with our choices."

The Constrictor looked to her sister then nodded her head in understanding. "We can only aspire to be more like her." She shifted her gaze to Torleik and nodded her head to the stallion. "Thank you for what you've done."
