Dragoncrest Cliffs Bodysnatchers

Tagging @Akantha for reference. All are welcome, but Whip is howling for his sister @Wildfire... and by extension @Thuringwethil

With permission from the matriarch, Whip departed in the morning. It was on the shores of Blackrock that he waited for the tides to turn so he could make his way back to the mainland. He did not yet trust himself to swim the gap, nor did he trust that Mother Sea wouldn't sweep him away as she had with consorts in the past. It was not long before the tide pulled out to sea. The narrow strip of sand connecting the island and mainland appeared to rise from the depths out of nothing, as if it had been conjured up by some great magician just for him.

He followed the same path the pack took for their first meeting with Drageda. Whip found the trail to be easy enough to follow on his own. However, it did take longer than he anticipated to arrive -- or perhaps it only felt that way because he made the trip alone. Either way, it didn't matter. By evening, he could smell Drageda's borders. He stopped when the scent became strong.

In their meeting, he had been mute. But without any sirens waiting to condemn or judge, Whip would be heard. He howled for the only family he had left: his sister.
