Kaena was not the only one carrying the heavy weight of inane disappointment, but it was accepted that her grandchild would be unable to understand exactly how cruel her actions were. She had denied Kaena her revenge, but she had also saved the older woman’s life. Of course there was no way to be certain of it, but most people knew by now how dangerous Haku Soul was. The wildfire had raged in Kaena’s lonely golden eye when her gaze had sought out Halo’s. For a moment she had expected her beloved relative’s own fangs to go after her, but it had not happened. All she could see now was defeat and shame. For once, the two women’s faces matched somewhat, though hers was still smooth and beautiful with youth.
Kaena too saw the dying wolf in the trap, and the questioning gaze let Halo find the answer. She turned away from the relative she loved and let the tip of the blade lightly trace up the man’s ribs. It settled on his chest, resting against the skin. For a moment the young woman was motionless. Ruby gaze traced the fresh injuries pumping whatever was left of blood out of the man. Haku Soul and his dying Dahlian had been alone. Could it be that the wolf leader was turning on his own now? Both hands supported the sword as she pushed it up and in between two ribs and into the male’s already faltering heart. She twisted the blade ruefully, though knew that it was unnecessary.
She drew the sword out in a smooth motion and started to clean it with a handful of dry grass, watching the fire rage towards Inferni. She looked over to her grandmother, copying the questioning glance that the older woman had offered her moments before. What now?
OOC wrap-up: Kae and Halo went off to go and try to put the fire out and do other useful things! /anti-climactic
