❤️U’ilani

Despite his strength, he found comfort in being a Herbalist. He was always quiet, but reliable and determined. Lost had stumbled upon him around the same time he created the pack, finding this young wolf wasn't far from him. He enjoyed his company quite a bit, and befriended him.

When he learned of the role he knew of no better wolf than him for the role, his strength is promising for an emergency should he have to leave his role, but he prefers the quiet life. He doesn't dislike the other wolves, but he prefers spending his time with the bear and by himself counting and learning herbs and medicines.

"I'm happy I can help this way," he assured Lost. Lost was the one he truly was close to. They wagged their tails passing each other.

Sadly... With knowledge of saving lives and treating the injured came the thoughts that plagued him, along with glimpses of the future in his dreams. He knew, that with old age he would match up to Lost. It was a bittersweet thought, his closest friend would most likely outlive him just a little bit longer... He knew most wolves wouldn't make it as far as 8 years. He could hear the whispers of spirits telling him how they passed away and many elders who lived long happy lives, but only a special few made it so far. He wondered to himself... Who will Lost choose to take his place?

His mate could not qualify, for they were the same age, however... He sensed a strange future in them. He could sense an aura of everlasting when he looked at Hunter.
Deep in those golden eyes he saw the blazing flame of eternity.

Perhaps Hunter would outlive them all... But she did not know the grief that would follow.

He flattened his ears at the thought and shook his head to clear out the whispers of the lost souls.

Lost... He thought. You have been lost... But you have not been found.




As he dreamed, he saw a young puppy with what looked almost like a fish tail for legs dragging herself alongside Hunter. There was no wolves he recognized... It felt like a time far in the future. He recognized this puppy as Angelfish, the new granddaughter of Hunter and step granddaughter to Lost.

She was using the contraption they had built to pull herself around due to being born without mobile back legs, although it looked definitely worn with time and they both had a look of sadness.

The glint of immortality now shined in them both, although it carried with them the pain of the past.

He heard a soft sigh. "I miss you, Lost." She whispered. Angelfish looked at her grandmother. "I miss grandpa too... And mom... And dad... And Uncle Rust..."

The last words faded to a whisper as Uli'ani woke up, startled. He peered out of the cave and saw Hunter playing with Angelfish, teaching her how to move efficiently and quickly with her new vehicle, her happy yips filling the camp and Blood Moon and Aurora proudly watching their baby girl.

Lost was with his son, Rust. He asked him if he could help him to find materials to strengthen the wheels for her, and praising him for his work with taking care of and watching the puppies. Rust huffed but Uli'ani couldn't miss the unmistakable stubborn smile on Rust's face, he knew he cared for his dad and wanted to make him proud.

To think... Uli'ani felt a wave of mourning drown his senses. All of this will be gone in only a few years time, with very little of the past to follow.
