The Blood War
Chapter Thirty-Two
The wolves had decided on electing Ashsky alpha almost immediately. She had proven her loyalty and dedication to the pack, as well as her sound judgement and good intentions. With Bone's approval of the situation, they began dragging their dead away to be buried, leaving Snowblind's body alone for the elements and vultures to have as a final disrespect to the vile, would-be alpha.
Bone hesitantly helped them bury the fallen, a final proof that he was not the monster they feared, and as he padded back to Snowblind's body to drag it out of the camp he looked back up at Outlander. What had he said? This would be the last time she saw him? As he bent down to grab Snowblind's scruff, she stopped him. "Bone," she called, motioning for him to come to her. The bleeding from her neck had stopped, but her shattered ribs still cried out in pain, and she was hesitant to disturb them. He padded forward, hanging head low. "Sit," she said, tapping her tail on the ground next to her.
"I need to get this carcass out of here," he protested. "It will attract scavengers if-"
She rolled her eyes and groaned theatrically, "Just sit." He grumbled, but gave in with a sigh and sat next to her. "Happy?" He murmered. They watched the sun begin to retreat from its high throne, making its way to the hills in the distance where it would rest. Outlander thought back to what her mother had said. "You are not an 'it,' Bone. You are a 'who," she said with finality.
Bone made no sound, but Outlander could have sworn she had seen the slightest break of a tear in his eye. "You have a heart, a mind, and a soul just like any other wolf. You aren't a monster at all ... I think it's taken me too long to truely realize that." There was silence for a moment more as the sun met the ground. "There is," Bone said after a while, "one last thing I need to do." He placed a rough skeletal paw on her head lightly and lowered her head to the ground. "Close your eyes," he said. Outlander obeyed, noticing everything had begun to sound far away. "And dream."
Outlander found herself greeted by the astral forest once again. "Hello?" She called out.
"Outlander," a voice called from behind her. She turned to see Bone, or at least what she believed to be Bone. His skin and fur were completely intact and his voice, while still low and gravely, didn't have the rasp years of wear had put on his lungs. He looked ALIVE. "Bone?" she murmured in awe. "Welcome to the Forever Grounds," he said with a smile. He turned and padded off quickly, shouting, "Follow me!" over his shoulder. Her short legs struggled to keep pace with giant bounds of the mythical wolf. As she ran pasts she could see whisps of ghost wolves running along side her, a magnificent phantom pack howling at the moon.
Bone pulled her aside from the phantom chase, leading her to a familiar spot. She could see the large tree in the distance, and Scavenger still sat under it, speaking with a two other coyotes. "I made her a promise," Bone said, looking down at Outlander, "that I would keep you safe, and that once I had done what the ancestors had asked, I would reunite you." Tears, set on her eyelids, and the thought occuring to her to say something she should have said many times before. "Thank you." She ran into the glade, stopping before the tree. All three coyotes turned to her before the two strangers said farewell to Scavenger and padded away into the forest of stars.
Now Scavenger alone sat under the tree. Outlander couldn't bring herself to move forward as she thought how she had betrayed her sister and allied with her enemy. "Outlander," the coyote said, her voice bringing comfort like her mother's. "All has been forgiven," she said, seemingly reading Outlander's thoughts. A smile broke across her face as she greeted her sister for the first time in many years. Scavenger touched her forhead to Outlander's before looking back to Bone. "Thank you for honoring your promise," she called. He nodded from the distance, silently.
"He really is quite sweet, isn't he, when he isn't bent on killing you?" Scavenger said with a laugh. Outlander looked at her fearsome guardian. A white wolf she didn't recognize had appeared next to him. "He's hurting," she said quietly to Scavenger. "He has been for a long time."
"So have you," Scavenger remarked sincerely. "That grudge you held with him was not on my behalf, but yours. You were alone, and you blamed him."
Outlander's ears pinned as the truth shot like daggers into her heart. "Why are you telling me this?" she asked, quietly.
"Because you aren't alone," Scavenger laughed her eyes sparkeling with mirth, "You never have been, so you can finally let go of this burden you've been holding on to." She looked back to the hill where Bone and the white wolf were speaking. "He isn't the only one that needed to bloom," she said with a smile that melted Outlander's resentment. "You've both made it, you've both bloomed."

The Blood War
Chapter Six
Another waking nightmare, a wolf's skeleton, partially cloaked with dark, rotted skin.
He sat completely and utterly still, staring forward directly at Ashsky. A young, silver wolf stood before the beast, frozen by fear. Outlander looked around at the faces of her packmates to answer the question that had been coiling at the bottom of her stomach. The fear, the disbelief, the disgust ... that said it all.
This was no nightmare. This one was real.
Ashsky trembled a bit, clearing her throat before she barked, "Back away, Stormwind." Her quavering voice filled the still clearing. Outlander expected the beast to protest, the launch itslef forward, teeth bared, but it only stood, a silent, stone guardian keeping watch until the time to act.
"I can't..." murmered a small voice.
"Storm."
"I can't move. I can't," the poor young she-wolf whimpered. Her entire body trembled and she spoke in a whisper laced with terror.
"Please, Stormwind. Try. Please, just back away from it."
The word "it" sparked a flame within the skeletal statue. It tilted its head up slightly and as the sun shone on them, those eyes, once dead grey with boredom or exauhstion or both, suddenly shimmered a feirce blue. In one instantaneous motion, it shot the front half of its body forward, snatching Stormwind's neck in its bone jaw. Ashsky and the rest of the pack dropped into battle-stance immediately, ears pinned, tails lashing, and slobbering teeth bared, but none dared close in on the beast.
The silver wolf yelped, trying to break free of the beasts hold, to no avail. Every kick, every bite, every attempt Stormwind made had no effect, other than ruffling the beasts fur a bit. It's eyes shadowed, the blue flame that lit them dying out. It fell still into its statue-like state again. In a low voice that chilled the very air around them, emanating from some place dark and deep within, it growled, "Get rid of me..." The words didn't come out of his mouth. They didn't have to. Nothing about this creature made sense.
There was silence, then the voice boomed again, stronger ... angrier, "Get rid of me?"
"Stop this," Ashsky barked. "Let her go!"
The beast rose to its feet slowly, Stormwind still in its grip. It was a giant compared to the wolves.
Outlander had heard the stories coyote pups had scared each other with, about the death-wolf, the monster made of bones and skin that killed you if you were first to see it that day. Now realization hit her hard. Coyotes didn't bother with ghost-stories; monsters were real, and she was staring right at one.
The blue flame shone again, and the death-wolf lunged.

The Blood War
Chapter one
Sunlight laced itself through the wisps of white cloud in the sky, the broad blue expanse high above the treetops looming wide and welcoming. A cloud of dust whirled upward from Bone’s feet as he walked, sockets grinding together as he pressed weight onto his unprotected bones that he walked upon.
“Hungry again,” he rumbled to himself in a deep voice, no more worn than it had been six years ago. Or fifty. Or four hundred. “Nothing I can do about it. Unrepentant rats…” he spoke the last part in a menacing tone, swinging his head around to stare piercingly back the way he had come. Behind him, over the broad stretch of dusty, rocky desert which reminded him of his time with Journey, lay a low inward dip, trees and earth cascading into itself to form a protected valley, where a wolf pack had settled. Apparently ungrateful to have a connection with their ancestors, they had forced him to leave their territory.
He paused his walk as he reached the shade of a twisted, scraggly tree, inhaling sharply, causing air to whip into the hollow cavern of his skull and tasting the scents that danced upon his tongue. “Time to find a new forest,” he said in fake elatedness, jaw clicking and sending a tremor through his rib cage. “Or maybe…” As he turned to look back the way he came, he let out a gentle huff. “Flesh of my flesh, ripped from my bones,” he breathed to himself. An image of the small coyote he had found a long while ago wavered into his mind. “That was a… nice place. And not… too far from here.”
Bone spun in a slow circle, thinking. “There was a wolf pack nearby. Hm, hm, yes, a wolf pack nearby. And that coyote pack…” The involuntary motion of drawing his tongue across his upper lip escaped him at the thought. “Flesh and torn body. Hmm.”
With a swish of his battered tail, he turned and set off at a quick lope in the direction of the forest his mind had dare remind him of. In the direction of wolves who appreciated him; or, at least, pretended to. In the direction of a coyote pack he had stalked nearly two years prior.
In the direction of blood and flesh.

The Blood War
Chapter Eighteen
She wanted to attack, she wanted to run, she wanted to scream, but all Outlander could do was watch. The remorse and sadness in Bone's eyes was gone, the small bit of normalcy within him set ablaze and burned away till all that stood was his blind rage and bloodthrist.
"And you'd almost made the mistake of trusting him ... of pitying him," growled a voice in her mind. It was Scavenger's. "Don't forget who he is. Don't forget what he's done."
Bone looked up from Snowbank's corpse, his eyes meeting hers. She tensed, preparing for the monster to attack, but the fire disappeared and the remorse returned.
Don't forget, Scavenger's voice echoed.
"I," the beast started to say, but he was cut off by a long howl. Outlander looked back at Snowblind. The now sole heir called out in the night, and soon his voice was joined with a chorus of howls in the distance. He lowered his head and looked down at Bone. There was no anger, no sadness, just that same cold calculating look. "My pack," he said, "Is just a few bounds away. If you want to waste time attacking us, go on, but when they catch you, they will not make the mistake of letting you get to your feet again."
Bone seethed at the threat before looking at Outlander. "I didn't want this," he murmered.
Don't forget.
"Leave," she growled. "If I ever see you again, I will give my life to make you suffer."
There was hurt in the eyes of the beast, and he opened his mouth to speak, but another break of howls, much closer this time, prodded him to turn and dash into the bushes. Outlander felt her own anger begin to fade away.
"He followed you?" Snowblind's voice in the sudden silence startled her. She looked at him. No concern for his brother was there, leaving Outlander to wonder if he even had a heart.
She thought, choosing her words carefully. If Snowblind thought Outlander was working with Bone, he might blame her for his brother's death. He would kill her, torture her even. "He followed all of us."
"But he came to speak to you."
Outlander swallowed, her heart thudding, but she was spared the trouble of answering as Snowblind padded over to his brother's mutilated corpse. Heads poked out of the bushes, and Phantasm's face fell immediatly as she shot out of the bushes and ran to her son's carcass. "The beast was here, mother," Snowblind sighed. "Snowbank attacked it foolishly."
The alpha looked up coldly, her tear-filled eyes meeting Outlander's. The coywold resisted the urge to shrink away from the alpha's gaze. It would only have been incriminating. Phantasm turned to face the pack. "The hunt is over. I've lost my son. We're going home."
