"Closure" By Ursarius and Starfire
The Bear used a single claw to flick the little bell hanging from the Moss-covered Shrine. The ringing was quiet and only lasted a second, but it rang loudly in Ursa's Heart. She sighed, starting at it and hoping some miracle would happen. 'What am I doing? I thought Scouts were immune to Lost...' she took a deep breath and held it. 'Why am I so lost?' she propped her staff up against her shoulder and laid both her paws on the stone statue, trying to feel it's ancient magics. She stared at the spot where her claw used to be, it was scarred and still slightly painful to look at.

Starfire was wondering, she felt lost and alone. 'Where am I supposed to go? What am I doing out here, i'm alone with nothing to do.' She was kicking the snow as she walked. She used her staff as a walking stick while walking through the snow that was up to her ankles. She stopped walking and looked down at her necklace, the memories kept coming back, so does the nightmare.

Ursa held her breath until her Heart was pounding, struggling to send oxygen to her brain. She closed her eyes tight and exhaled, she felt like crying all the time. Trying to drown her sorrows at the Tavern didn't seem to work, she never stayed passed out quite long enough. So She left Fallaryn in town and asked for a little Space, 'Something I never gave Star...' She thought. She shook her head. her warm paws absorbing the cold from the stone and the stone absorbing the warmth from her paws. 'Give me a sign... what do I do?' She felt a slight sensation in her paws... magic? or something far normal and less exciting?

Starfire took a deep breathe and started to walk with a tear rolling down her face. "Why is this happening?!?!?!" She screamed. "Why me...." She dropped her staff and fell to her knees crying into her hands. All she felt was regret and a story of her life that was not worth telling. "Nobody cares anymore, Thats why i'm alone."

The Bear's eyes snapped open, wide with Fear and surprise. 'I know that voice....' She thought, grabbing her staff and whipping around, she saw no one, and for a second, she thought she was hearing things. 'Is this the magic of the Bardshrine?' She turned back and looked at it. 'That was Starfire's voice, but only asking the question that i've been asking myself for weeks....' She sighed. frowning at the stone statue '...you're no help.' She swallowed back tears.

Starfire kept crying in her hands, she wanted to keep screaming, so she did. "Dad, can you help me.... I don't know where to go.... What to do. Please....... HELP ME!!!!!" Starfire didn't want to look up so she kept her head down and moved her staf colser to her.

"Wait, that IS Starfire!" Ursa almost dropped her staff and fell over. She was both happy and scared at once, she was about to run to her and help, she took a few steps and realized she probably didn't want to see Ursa. 'wait... wasn't that one of the reasons she left?' Her voice spoke to her inside her mind. 'Star left because you wouldn't give her space to fight her own Battles...'
Ursa gripped her staff and held herself back "But she's calling out for help!" She spoke out loud. '...Doesn't she have allies now? Let Mulds take care of it...'
"NO!" Ursa thundered off in the direction of Starfire's voice.

Starfire heard a voice but didn't listen. "Where do I go?" 'Follow your heart Sweety, I'm always there beside you, Protecting you.'
said the voice in her head. "What am I supposed to know what my heart is telling me? I wish you were here dad....." Starfire said in between sobs.

Ursa slammed through the trees, She was much too large to be running in small brush like these Wildgardian woods. She was slow, trying to squeeze through tiny branches and thin trees, there were so many human-sized paths she couldn't take, she had to push past them and in some part, had to duck and crawl. She was out of breath and confused by the time she lost Starfire's voice. 'What if this is a mistake? what if it's a trap?' she kept thinking, while searching for some sign. '...she'll kill me.'
She pushed past the trees near Starfire. breaking and cracking small brush. '..I don't care.'

Starfire had tears running down her face a ripped pant leg and a sword cut down her arm thats been healing for the past two weeks. 'Star, calm down. Just listen, someones out there that cares enough to come find you. I miss you darling, your my angel.' She took a deep breathe and stayed sitting listening for a sign, something to help her. Nothing. "Where does the time go? Just eleven days ago I was helping the bear, But she wouldn't give me space or time."

There she was, Ursa scanned the Area to search for the ones attacking her, but there was no one in sight, She laid down in the cover of the trees, waiting to see where the attack was coming from. But there was no Attack. Ursa shifted, confused 'What's going on?' she thought, stone-faced serious, she was ready to fight and Die for Starfire, but she couldn't figure out why she was crying for help with no one around. 'This is it... this is where Starfire's going to be the end of me, Those Evil-doers that took her from me are waiting in ambush, I just know it....' She stood, ready to face anything...
"Starfire?" She spoke, taking cautious steps toward her, coming into view.

Starfire heard the voice of the one she missed. Her head flung up and she whipped the tears away. "What do you want? Are you here to tell me that I should have stayed with you all along? Are you here to kill me for the wrong choice I made?" Starfire whispered the last part thinking back to the nightmare. Starfire looked at bear and hid the claw that was hanging outside of her cloak.

The Bear's Heart sank. 'Did she call for help... for this? To accuse me of killing her?!' Ursa's mouth fell open in shock. She just stared. 'she's not in trouble, she's just...' Ursa felt a pain in her chest at the sight of starfire's tears, her stomach tightened and she couldn't breathe. She stuck her staff in the snow so it stood on it's own and took a few more steps. "Star..." the name escape her mouth like a ripple in water, weak and shaky. She had to close her mouth again or the next sound she made would be a cry. She dared not to blink or the water in her eyes would roll out and run down her face. She kept her eyes on Starfires.

"What? I'm just a failure. I made a decision and i'm sticking with that, you can't change my mind!" Starfire put her head down as voices were going through her head 'Failure.' 'She's going to want you back' 'Your a joke, No family, nobody to save you.' Starfire let the tears roll down her face as she had just seen her dad die again.

The Bear choked on her words, her mouth barely spat out a sobbing "I know..." before she had to take a deep Breath and hold it. She began to shake, the worst that Human Emotions have ever hit her, her pulse was beating inside her, she could hear it pounding. Her throat hurt from resisting the urge to burst out crying. She clenched her teeth together and took another couple feet. "You are a failure. You've done Horrible things. And these things can never be undone." She cried. staring down on Starfire. "I'm not here to change your mind."
