Moonspear moonlight outshines the brightest stars

Dividing herself between constant headcounts and stargazing kept her busied, although a satisfaction definitely bloomed in her chest at watching her littlest ones enjoy the starry show too. Up here, they had the most magnificent of views at their disposal.. and indeed, as her offspring they deserved no less.

Yet in a mere moment, there was a shift. She jerked upright as names were cried out, and darted her eyes around to a scene darker than anticipated. Galaxy was gone..? Charon snapped at Korei, Ame's ears were back and bristling fur rising, but Vela close to her kept her grounded. Stay right here.. came her mantra, for the both of them, and luckily Jarilo was already on his way to her. Once he got there, she stood close to them, very visibly anxious and watching Charon while her heart sank. Ugly realities were playing out, and as it seemed, the mountain had claimed her.

Amekaze stared, drifting between surprised and a shade of horrified. Vela's question snapped her from it. "She fell," she murmured, not that she had many details to share from this it had happened so quickly. Based on the look from her mate, it didn't look good. "Into a mountain crack.." she added, tight-lipped from the sorrow in saying so, then reached to nudge each pup in turn--Vela first. "Come on." Amekaze said a little louder and gestured they begin to leave: we have to go, we have to stay safe.. and she didn't need them involved in whatever this could escalate to right now.
