Phoenix Maplewood darling, a bad romance

@Saena when u have time! <3

he ran for what felt like hours, days, miles, weeks. the time blended into itself; he stopped to attend basic needs and that was all, sleeping only when he collapsed from exhaustion. Casmir didn't allow himself to think of home, of his mother, his father, his sisters, and especially not the fact that he had left his heart behind in Donnelaith.

someone -- maybe Blue Willow, maybe Lasher -- had told him that a relative led a pack to the south of their own. naturally Casmir headed in that direction, unknowing that the familiar scent he followed was that of the woman he had tried to save first from the large, hulking man, and then from dying alone on the seacliffs.

it was a haggard and pathetic boy that dragged himself to the borders, managing only a breathless howl before he was forced to sit, to sit and to rest.
