[Lilacbird]

do you wanna know how it feels ​

Her body hurt as her gaze finally opened. Cerulean eyes opened despite not wanting to. How long had it been? The small queen pulled herself to her paws, her body cold from laying in water she thought she got away from. The shore was higher than when she passed out.... How strange...

Her wounds hurt, the worst pain she ever endured as her body shook and shivered. She found herself falling back on herself, tears escaping gritted teeth as she hit the ground when he shoulder gave out on her. She had told herself before it was worth it. Cranekit had to be safe now... Right?

She could only hope as she used her good paw and hind leg to drag herself further from the raising river, eyes watery with sand and tears in them- still trying to get the glass feeling out of her eyes.

Slumped up against a rock, Lilacbird would slump, heaving at the pain. Her injured leg would lay splayed out, gaze saddened at the stripped fur and bloody scrap it was. At least, it wasn't bleeding anymore. But it was dirty... And she knew that was not good.

She was exhausted, her throat stung and burned from rejecting water from her lungs. So as much as she wanted to call out in hopes for a patrol to hear her, she knew any attempt would be more feeble than even before.

All she could do now, was be thankful to be alive... Starclan had granted her the kindness in their hearts for her to survive. And she would forever be grateful for them. Though.. her gaze shifted to the skies. One day .. she would meet Stinging Gorse and her other child. They would be waiting for her... But now was not her time.

And she wept in the confines of loneliness where eyes could not see her. She missed her child who struggled from day one. She missed her brother, who's warmth was unseen for years. He sacrificed himself in the Great Battle.... And she was almost with him.

But it was for the better, she knew, that she would not meet him yet. As much as her heart screamed for the two. She had lives to take care of here ....

"I hope... You two have endless hunts.. and don't go through the pain that we are facing..." She breaths softly, voice usually of warmth, now dry and cracked from strain.
