Skill: Heartbroken
The built man trotted back towards the place where they'd been last and he smiled around the blooms in his mouth, proud of himself for such a thoughtful gift would surely make the queen smile.
He smelled it before he heard her...
That ever looming scent of death...
He knew it well from his past, the way they'd sent the bodies to the sea on a raft covered in flowers and trinkets...
Stopping in his tracks icy blue eyes flung open wide and he had to do everything in his power not to drop the flowers to his alabaster paws. Thats when he heard her, his queen, his name, and he went running as fast as his limbs could carry him to the origin of the sound.
When he arrived he found Mauve pressing on a tiny brown puppies chest... He felt tears spring to his eyes... It was a child...
Riptide walked over to the scene and looked from Mauve to the puppy and back to Mauve, he placed the flowers next to the woman preforming CPR and a solemn look crossed his face as he spoke softly to her.
Mauve... He's gone...Riptide whispered, his eyes tearing up, the sting of hot wet forming along the edges as he fought to hold them back by biting his lip.
I'm so sorry....He continued as the man pressed his nose to the boys crown passionately and filled with compassion for the life that once was... The life he never knew...

Reach up for the sunrise,
Put your hands into the big sky.
You can touch the sunrise,
Feel the new day enter your life.
