Kate stroked his face, neck, and shoulder fur. "Let go. I have you. Let it all out. Your always safe in my arms, Horen."<br/><br/>The mage held Horen she knew he carried a heavy burden for years. "I can only help you replace the old memories with happier new ones. Now you can let go of the past your soul and heart will heal with time. I will not leave you Horen. Your past is not your fault. Slavery is not a choice you had to kill to survive. Your not faint at heart. For the first time in many your safe to let yourself feel. You can always come to me when you feel sad; I will take you to a quiet place."<br/><br/>Ann rushed up the stirs and opened the door. She saw Kate holding an enormous wolf. "Kate, I heard a mournful howl is the poor dear alright.<br/><br/>Kate nodded as she held Horen in her lap on the floor. "Horen is secure and knows I will not hurt him. Will you refill his water basin and cover us with the quilt. I think he is able to sleep."<br/><br/>Ann filled the basin with fresh water and removed the quilt off the bed. The cook placed the bowl by his front left paw and placed the quilt over his massive body. Ann pet his front paw. "Rest easy I will make sure you are not disturbed. Can I get you anything Dear?"
