Redhawk Caldera A brand new black hole in the solar system

Fin felt numb as she answered Elwood's call. She always knew where Eljay was. Always. Most times, she could pinpoint his exact location, though at the very least she knew generally where to find him. That sense of awareness was gone, though. For once, she had awoken to no trail. No sign of him having been anywhere near her for hours. In her heart she had known almost instantly, and know she moved as though there were heavy lead in her paws. She didn't even have enough energy in her to react to the wild, shrieking sound of Towhee's "howl". She merely flinched and continued on her way until she was amongst the company of her pack, staring blankly at the three of them.

Her gaze shifted over Towhee and Gannet to land on Elwood. She took a soft breath as she gazed at him, wondering if he knew. Eljay was gone, and it was all her fault. She couldn't envision a scenario in which her eldest son would leave the packlands for just a quick jaunt in the surrounding territories. If he was gone from the Caldera, it was for only one reason - because he was gone.
