Snow dropped Dark and sank to the ground beside him. He was just as heavy as Aqua, and she was already tired. Still, it was strange for her to be so exhausted. "Just a little further. Few more steps." She murmured softly.

Dark whimpered, a pitiful sound rising in his throat. "Cold." He managed to choke out. Snowflakes stood out against his dark fur, flanks coated in more white powder. He stared up at the darkened sky, eyes unfocused and dull. "Cold." He repeated weakly, shivering. "Home."

Snow dragged herself closer to Dark and curled around him to block the wind, like a mother with her kits. "We'll get home, Dark." She whispered hoarsely. "I promise. You'll get warm and you can eat, just hang on."

Her words seemed to fall on deaf ears, as Dark didn't respond. He was watching the sky, gaze searching. "Will I find. . ." He inhaled sharply bfore continuing. "Find StarClan?"

Snow stiffened. "No, no, you're not going to StarClan anytime soon. I promised you we'd get home. We will. You'll see. You'll see."

Dark twitched his ear and pressed against Snow, looking small and frail, lying deathly still amidst the stone and ice and snow. "Believe you." He rasped sleepily.
