Nova Peak some walks you have to take alone

I'm back, amen for that! Sorry for the brief long post; I just can't wait to start writing again! For @Bazi @Scimitar @Kaskara and @Kieran if you have time <3

A shrill, beastly scream barely recognized by even herself escaped her. As the blood pooled around him, she staggered backward, losing her senses. It was dark, dull, and quiet, the only sound occupying the air her shallow and quick breaths. ‘NO!’ she cried, at first loud, then mute as she watched her brother’s life disappear right before her. Her body convulsed, at first a slight tremble, and then she couldn’t control her body anymore. It was it’s own being.
 
The sound of two more bangs in the air brought her back to reality. She approached her brother’s lifeless body, staring at her with lifeless eyes. ‘I’m sorry,’ she whimpered. It was all her fault — if she hadn’t come, she wouldn’t have alerted the Troopers. Her body began trembling again, but she turned tail before she could re-enter her state. It was the hardest thing she’d ever done.
 


Silence. It was all she heard save her voice every mentally excruciating step of the way. She racked her brain, telling herself in a monotone, dry voice that what she’d experienced was real. She knew, didn’t acknowledge, but she knew that the pain would go away if she let herself go, but she couldn’t let herself go because she knew she wouldn't be able to handle it. The second she dropped herself, she would unravel, and she didn’t think she would be able to pick herself back up.
 
Her paws carried her heavy, brother-stained body, which hadn’t eaten in the matter of the few weeks she’d spent travelling. She had stopped for water. Occasionally — and everytime she knew she was about to burst. If only she was prepared for the tsunami of emotions when she returned.
 
Falwasi did not know how she arrived at Nova Peak; which route she’d taken, if she’d passed through other territories… She couldn’t even remember how many times she’d stopped for a drink. The previous weeks had flashed in a haze, and her only memory was... Her lip began to tremble, but she bit it down, hard. She couldn’t cry, not now.
 
The mountain grew before her, an angel or a demon she couldn’t tell. She stopped at the base — away from the forest, in plain sight. Maybe they wouldn’t remember her scent. She had no idea.
