all i've ever known - Maegi - February 12, 2018 It had broken her heart, a messy, jagged split down the middle, to watch her brothers leave without her. She knew they would be okay with Cicero--though she worried for her father, too, and his poor health--but. . .for the first time, the trio was apart.
They hadn't been inseparable, per se, but they had always been within a short cry of each other. Now, they were gone. . .and Maegi didn't know when she would see them again. If she would see them again. She spent her time inside Mephala's Web, holed up in the tunnels beneath the Woods, racked with pain and with guilt. She tried to sleep inside their old whelping den, but the scents that clung there, and the memories associated with them, brought her heart into further turmoil. It was cold and bare down here. Here and there, caches full of her mother's greenery caught her nose, but beyond that there was naught but the cool aroma of earth and stone. The girl sat in Fellglow Keep, the bioluminescent walls glowing blue off her white pelt. Her throat closed with a sob, hastily choked back; she missed Kove, whom she had first met in this very cavern. And Nyx, and Moonshadow, and Rouge, and Vaati. . .oh, Vaati! She hoped he was faring well, up in the Bypass. When would the pack return? But most of all, she missed Euron and Ramsay. She knew they hadn't approved of her choice to stay; their approval was less important to her than their love. And right now, their love was many pawsteps away, and she was alone. So terribly alone. RE: all i've ever known - Abraxas - February 12, 2018 half-frozen carcass was discarded, for while the cold had preserved it well, it was a dull and stringy meal. he ate only to fill the void in his stomach before rising smoothly, ears perked atop his skull. the ravens and the crows had resumed their infernal war to be heard above the reaching canopy, barren now and yet filled with the rancor of the birds. only the slow croak of an aged raven stood out among the rest, much like the trail at his feet, whispering of youth and despair. it was very much like the other, faded scents of youth that he had discovered trailing the undergrowth, but this one was fresh. blue and white reflected of steel orbs, impassive as the boy slipped soundlessly into the temple. his gaze was not on the alter but the girl, mantled in snowy white, ribbons of blue and green reflected in her coat. he mirrored her, reclining on his haunches and wondering idly at the parentage of the spawn before him. perhaps the witch, but there were many scents here he did not know and thus could not arrive at his conclusion confidently. the Raven watched as he had always done, a silent, slate sentential that seemed carved from the same rock that encircled the temple. RE: all i've ever known - Maegi - February 12, 2018 The war had made her wary, the subsequent flight more so. The fur on her nape prickled as she realized she was no longer alone in the cavern, and she slowly turned, mismatched eyes darting about the cave as she searched for the intruder.
There. A dark form, blending neatly into the wall save for its gaze, a cold, bright blue. Her pelt bristled out, making her look nearly twice as burly as she really was, and Maegi's black lips drew into a snarl as she stared down the shadow, trying her best to hold her ground. "Who are you?" she demanded in a hiss, her words echoing faintly throughout the Temple. "What are you doing here?" For he must be an enemy. Any Blackfeather wolf would carry Vaati's scent on their pelt, and she caught no trace of her brother on this dark man. An enemy, come back to plunder. And though she knew she was ultimately powerless--she was no fighter--she would do her level best to chase this man out of the Woods. He did not belong here. |
