This is my new Derraka Velvet (named by Comet her mother) She loves exploring and im finding it hard to keep trak of her at the moment. Velvet loves her Hide chuw so much so she trys to take it every where with her.
Comets passing
Though the Suns had only just begun to set darkness was already falling in a cave high within in the Cresant Range, Comet's own light was fading quicker then the world around her. Kim, her keeper the one that had helped bring her in to this life and would see her leave it remained close by as she had all day, no one else was present derraka or other wise, Birth and Death were privet moments to be shared only with one's bonded.
Comet lay partly to one side, her breathing slow but deep and her eyes glazed and unblinking for she felt if she closed them even for a moment they may never open again and though she welcomed death she wished for just a few more precious moments with Kim. Kim too looked exhausted, she had hardly slept the night before and the sorrow seemed to drain her of what little energy she had yet still she remained by her friend's side stroking her neck and giving comfort.
As with all when a Derraka bonds with a keeper their hearts beat as one, when one gets excited the other feels it responding the same way no matter how far apart and this is not just felt, as every Keeper knows there is nothing more magical then hearing their own heart beat along side their partners. However it's this connection that now is the only thing keeping Comet in this life and both she and Kim knew it would have too be broken.
Comet raised her head to Kim and Kim helped her to hold it "HemO akra konader ss Velvet" she spoke in her own tongue, Kim under stood "The new egg call her Velvet" she nodded and Comet smiled, it clearly hurt her to do so but she did any way "Koai konader mik, hemra Ouna, toa nOr huem mi" and with that she lay her head down and Kim carried on stroking it, thankful for her kind words "The storm calls my name, and the bond must end but we will always be one".
Kim watch as Comet closed her eyes, Kim closed hers too, feeling and listening to the beating of their two hearts holding on to every beat not sure if it may be the last, then it was gone and only her own heart remained, the silence left was cruel and imposing and only seemed to emphasize the loneliness she already felt. For a brief moment Kim would have given anything to go with Comet, to have that last flight with her...but the moment passed and life carried on. She bent over Comet and gave her one last kiss upon her forehead as she turned away a tear rolled down her cheek and fell but Kim didn’t notice as she continued to walk too the corner that held her new future her new partner...Velvet.
The small silver egg hummed its tinny heart beat but as Kim gently picked it up and held it to her chest the humming slowed till you could hear the individual beats and then came the moment when those beats of life matched Kim’s own heart. The silence was gone but the empty space Comet left still remained and Kim knew it always would just as the space Tristeller had left and in time this little one would also leave, Kim would never want it any other way and she treasured every meeting and passing.
