Draugr is by Haley!
The distraction proved momentary to Draugr, who refocused on the pyre quickly enough. It was not her place to turn the tide of sorrow within their leader. Rather, her place was here -- by the flames, watching them. She watched them flicker and dance across the Luperci figure, small at first and then larger. Soon Larkspur's body was gone, entirely engulfed in flame; not even the suggestion of a canine outline remained to show the world where he'd once been.
Dra found she could not take her eyes away. She remained motionless and watching thereafter, faintly aware the group around her was beginning to separate and move off in their own ways. The wailing stopped. Someone must have taken her away, Dra thought, but the thought was faint and faraway. The fire burned instead of thought, bright and merry and all the wonderful colors of blood and sunlight and raw, running red flesh. The drab wolfdog was not aware, but she was swaying, moving her body in time with the fires.
She remained until there was nothing but cold ash and the gray dawn.
