Althaia wiped her tears and collected the rosemary, thanking Aratona. She cleaned her hands then placed her on a risen surface. She then spread the mixture of Rosemary and Thyme across her body. She said a quiet prayer, she then wrapped her first in Cobweb. She then took a clean, soft mud and placed the on top of the cobweb. She let the mud dry and harden as she did the next layer of Wintermint, she prayed another prayer. She spread the mixture over again, she then put Lavender on the small cat. She did the same pattern over and over again. Till all was there is a wrapped up cats body. She prayed and lifted the cat down. She placed a large leaf over the cat. "Her soul is now with the ancestors, may this wonderful brave and spectacular cat rest in peace." She walked up to Aratona, "Where do you want the burial spot to be?"

Aratona looked at the floor for a moment before limping out of the cave, flicking her tail for Althaia to follow. She walked through the burnt forest towards a singed stump of a bush. There was a hollow dip in the ground. She pointed to the spot with a tear in her eye. "This is where we began, this is where she should end." Aratona was lost in thoughts of her kit-hood. Her, Riltra, and their other sister were always so close. It hurt them both when she passed and now Riltra's gone too.

Althaia looked at the cat and wiped her tears, "Shhh... She is going to a better place now." Althaia said walking back to the cave. She picked up Riltra, flicking her tail, so the others follow her to the spot. She placed the cat down quietly and looked around. She dug the hole a tad deeper and wider. She looked down at the hole and wiped the tears away. She licked Aratona and Stonepelt. She looked at Aratona and soon asked, "Would you like to lead us in the final prayer?" She stood on all 4 paws and bowed her head. Waiting for Aratona to talk.

Aratona raised her head to the bright night stars "I ask my warrior ancestors to watch over this fallen cat. She has fought and healed bravely for her friends and family. She lived a successful life. I hope that you welcome her warmly into your ranks. May she hunt happily in your hunting grounds." She bowed her head and remembered all the good time's she has had with her.

Althaia soon looked at Aratona, she prepared the grave. She then placed the small body into the grave. She nodded her head down in respect. She placed the cat in the grave, she placed flowers on top of the cat. She nodded her head down and then wiped tears once again. She slowly started to cover the cat with dirt. She sighed when she finished, she pulled out a gravestone she stayed up all last night making. She dug a small hole for it and placed it there. "She is now rested," Althaia said giving her condolences to Aratona.

Aratona looked at the lightening sky. "We might as well start walking. The hills were..." She looked around trying to recognize any landmarks. She finally figured it out and started limping to the right "this way"

Althaia started to walk. She sighed and she hitched her bag of food and medical supplies on her back.

Aratona walked really fast until she was bounding as fast as she could maganged. All she wanted to do was get out of there. She didn't want to see it now or think about what it used to be.
