The answers he have her weren't enough but then again they never would have been. Too soon he'd given them and failed to look her in the eyes any longer as he pried her fists from his chest and had turned to walk away. Dropping to the sands she covered her face once more and weeped. She'd lost two friends in one moment and one she would never see again, the other was walking away fast into the distance.
Her heart was aching but it hadn't broken yet, the sudden voice that called out was what had done the breaking when she raised her red rimmed eyes and caught sight of Asphyxia racing towards the side of one Iskata had never thought would settle down. The pain that wailed inside her was washed over again with salty tears as those sad words of dispair called out across the lands. She turned her eyes away, knowing that she had no right to bare witness to the pain of a woman losing her mate, though the silver and gold lady knew the pain only too well.
Iskata flinched at the words the lady said, last time they'd met it had been much like this except it had been Asphyxia who had been broken and beaten, but her life had been spared. Rising from the sands Iskata moved to kneel opposite from Skoll and spoke softly, "He wouldn't let us.. He died as he lived.. you should know that.." her voice was pained as she admitted the truth. Skoll had lived and died defending those who couldn't defend themselves.. and yet this one time it was for his own life he'd fought.
