It had been days since she last saw
@Elias and
@Panacea.
She didn't stop searching every inch of the Strath, the Ravine, the Morass, calling their names with a mother's worry.
Their scents had stopped at the river, and she traced the banks of it too, as far as she could, to no avail.
She had to search for them, but she couldn't leave
@Sovereign and
@Credence...
Laced with days-deep panic, the Warchieftain called for everyone within the valley to heed her summons.
@Kynareth Deagon @Arashi @Sakari @Gennesis @War @Simmik
Once those who would come were there, Fury addressed them with obvious fret.
"Two of my children are missing. Elias and Panacea. They're not anywhere to be found in the valley. Their scent ends at the edge of the river, I've followed it as far as possible and found nothing. I can't leave my other two kids for long." Could she truly count on those who she opened her home to?
"I need one or two wolves to go look for them beyond the valley." Fury would with that, open the space for volunteers. Though this was a dire emergency, it was also a test to see who would be loyal enough to her and the future of the Saints to offer themselves up for the task.
@Fury,
@Elias @Panacea please PM me or message me on disco with anything I need to know as Sakari searches. I don't want to mess up the plot or anything.
Missing children? How could this have happened? Fury watched those children tirelessly, and what's more-- the men hovered around the warchief like stink on a wolverine. It should have been impossible for newborn children to sneak away under such conditions.
Sakari wondered if she should speak up to state the obvious: this was clearly an inside job. Infants don't just get up and walk out the front door all by themselves. One of their own was responsible for this, she was certain.
Despite her misgivings, Sakari kept her suspicions to herself. As the newest recruit and the least trusted, the blame would naturally fall upon herself. Best to get ahead of this, if it was possible.
"Send me, Warchief. My paws are swift, and my senses are sharp. I will find them." It was a pretty vow, betraying none of Sakari's inner pessimism. There could be little doubt that children were already dead or smuggled far, far away by now.
Fury's gaze found Sakari swiftly as the dark lady volunteered.
An approving and grateful glint flashed through her eyes at the newest recruit, solidified twofold as Arashi also volunteered himself to search with Sakari.
The Warchieftain would not deny the help she had been offered.
"Search everywhere you can. Report in a month's time with your findings. Be safe, and be swift." A blessing.
With a firm nod to them both, Fury had nothing else to add, and therefore would allow Sakari and Arashi to dispatch into the Wilds as soon as they were ready.
