Aeons passed... time played no role at all...
[color:"#a0a0ff"]This is the dance of hope... a quiet tune, a melody silenced easily, a song overcried quickly... a fragile ballad at first... then growing stronger if others join...[/color]
I woke up out of my trance and saw the hall was nearly filled with the same amount of crystals as at the beginning. And they were still sparking, giving birth to new crystals... the tingling grew louder, the harmony grew stronger.... It was enough... I stopped and noticed my shoes were gone, they had been torn and cut by the sharp shards. My feet were bleeding, but I felt no pain - save one: Wolfy still sat motionless, shrouded in his sorrow, embedded in his loss - the last of his kin.
Tears were rolling down my face, I felt his pain and my helplessness. I couldn't give him back his companions. My love for him was there, but was this enough to make up for his loss? I went up to him and stroked his one head slowly and carefully, I fondled his ear and whispered in to it:
"I will be your companion, I will take care of you until you die - even if I have to stay in your world forever... can you hear me? Wolfy? I'm here, you're not alone... I'm here."
Still no response... I sat down next to him and held him closely.
