just FYI, there is gonna be a brief exchange between Tenzin and Raheerah; feel free to post, but please don't interfere! <3
Finally, the roar of the avalanche had begun to die down. By that time, he and his packmate had made it to the heart of the territory, where they would be safe from the onslaught of debris. His muscles by now were sore from the endless running, the adrenaline-fueled escape from the snow that had caused him to move faster than he ever had before. Acacia was next to him as he spied the tree, and expected to see the rest of their pack there, hoping that nobody had been caught under the snow. But as he adjusted to the image before him, he was dismayed to see only two figures; though there was relief in that one of them was his wife, the other was... the monk.
Raheerah's pace had slowed to a gait by the time they arrived, but it had paused the moment he realized that Lham was not there. The monk stood near the tree and his light; all together, there were four of them. And Lham was not among them. In that moment, everything fell away. He had forgotten Acacia, and Xi'nuata. All that he saw was the monk alone. "Wwhheere." The dragon rumbled at first, but he already knew the answer, just as the monk would already know what he would be asking. His stride picked up again, briskly taking him towards the pristine male, seemingly untouched by the landslide. His body burned, not with physical exhaustion but a sudden and pure rage, and his eye locked on the monk, empty. "Wheerre iis sheee." His voice roiled, increasing in volume as he drew nearer to the monk. Strains of panic were evident among his words.
Then came him answer. His own voice had changed. Everything had changed. Lham was not by his side. She was now somewhere beyond their knowledge, presumably trapped. Abandoned to that fate by not Raheerah, but the monk, who had adopted the responsibility of caring for her. It had been his job. His purpose. And he failed. "Mmo-rang kaa-baaar yo-ree?" The beast held fire in his single eye. "Laab ngah laaa. LAB NGAH LA!" He erupted, wild teeth flailing as he lunged at the monk, intending to grab him at the conjunction of his shoulder and neck and throw him in the opposite direction, fed only by the fury of his lost Goddess.
