Back Home

Sera helped me to dig a proper grave for Mrs. White.

Honestly, she did all of the dirty work on this one… I just hung back and pointed the finger.

It took me a while to find the perfect spot… I looked around, contemplated a bit… but ultimately I found no better place to bury her than the place I first laid her to rest.

Something indescribably mangled and bony slithered out from a slit in Sera's cloak, tossing out clumps of dirt at a time with ease, and once it had done digging up a deep enough hole, it was now my turn to do my bit.

I got down to my knees, and laid White down inside the grave as carefully as I could. I wanted it right, I didn't want her to look dead… so I just kept readjusting and realigning her until I myself was convinced that maybe if I poke her ever so slightly, her eyes might just flutter open again… even when I knew that it wouldn't.
