She doesn't remember how she got here. The past few days were an awful blur of hunger, cold, and wind. The only reason she had survived this long was because the ice was there--was everywhere. She could get enough water into her system by licking the thin casing of frost off individual blades of grass, or waiting patiently, mouth open wide, under a cluster of icicles, but it was always slow going. Drip. Drip. Just enough to soothe that constant burning in her throat. Then moving on.
She was emaciated, a bag of skin and bones, a worthless heap of self-pity. Why had this had to happen? Where was Mother, the sprightly fae? And Father, the steady boulder? Where was her food, her den, her warmth? Whatever heat was left in her body the wind was leeching out of her chilled bones. She coughed quietly to herself, sickness being the only language she could now understand. Her ears were frozen stiff on her head, her paws encased in hard snow. Frost laced through her ginger coat in random but decorative patterns and covered the ugly ribs that jutted out her skin. All the horror was gone now, replaced with a quiet resignation to her fate. When her muscles screamed and her legs bucked out from under her, she laid herself down on the ground without protest, and recognized that this was the end.
As she watched the sun set behind the Shinkou mountains, a furious and fiery gold orb, she mourned for her loss: the cease of her existence in this world, and that the next time the sun would rise, it would shine over a corpse.
