Long ago, in a time since lost, an ancient bear had called upon a younger mare for help. Now, as his last days stretch and fade along the horizon, he calls to her once more.

He rests alone in the shadows of ancient spires and falls among the scent of evergreen and an evening frost. His muzzle has greyed further since their last meeting; his coat has grown darker, his body has begun to sag. The arthritis once cured by the mare has returned with a new vengeance, but in the shadow of the black death overtaking him, he feels only the numbness of his end.

But though he knows he will soon leave this world, he does not wish to leave it alone. Even in the dark shadows of this mystical wood, even being as strong and spiritual a beast as he is, he can take comfort in a soft touch leading him to his heaven.

And so his call, an ancient primordial bellow, strikes the last chord in an evening hymn, and calls to her on the wind. Let she be merciful, and let her remember his face, even as it fades into blackness. Let her look into the depths of his dying eyes and feel the heat of his final breath.

Let her kindness be his final wish as he falls into this dark and lonely night.
