Moonspear Road kill has its seasons

Got PP permission for Korei!

Their patrol was cut short almost as soon as it had begun. They had only just made it to the borders before they came upon the scene. As soon as the three saw their younger sister's limp body upon the ground, a foreign wolf fleeing in the opposite direction, they sprung into action. Hydra was the one that sent up the call and Lyra couldn't help but add her own panicked voice - please, come quick! Her gut twisted into knots. Something told her this wasn't going to have as happy a ending as last time.

At Hydra's silent word, Lyra skidded to a halt protectively over their fallen sister as her triplets raced ahead, watching with fire in her eyes as they gave chase to the interloper. There were no immediate signs of a scuffle (nor blood, strangely), but she treated his almost immediate retreat as an admission of guilt. Why else would he have run?

She then turned to the small, fragile body crumpled below her. She set to nosing swiftly through her fur, focusing on her neck and fearing the worst. However, there was no blood upon Galaxy either; no wounds save for a few tiny nicks around her paws and hindquarters that Lyra mistook for incidental scratches. She frowned in confusion before noticing a distinct lack of rise and fall of the young girl's sides. It was then panic really set in. "Galaxy," she said, her tone as if a command, and looked to her sister's face for some sort of reaction. When there was none, she tried again, this time with a bit more force. "Galaxy."

The pale wolf still did not stir. Lyra's heart began to hammer in her chest and she gently nosed her sister's cheek, tentatively swiping her tongue across her forehead in an effort to coax even the faintest of sign of life from her. Wake up, please. She reasoned with herself that the girl was just simply unconscious, but no air came from her mouth, her body was limp. Lifeless.

"No, no, no..." she whispered quietly, her voice breaking as a sob threatened to escape. A snap of a twig caused her to look up as @Korei Julia slipped through the trees, her usually sunny gaze flooded with concern. "Korei, she's..." Lyra started before looking solemnly down to their poor sister's body, hoping that would be enough to convey the grim news. Tears welled in her eyes but she steeled herself and suddenly, the girl stood and began to head in the direction Hydra and Alya had gone. "S-stay with her," she said and, without even giving her sisters a second glance, Lyra shot down the cliffs in pursuit. How he even did it, she did not know, but he was going to pay dearly.
