Ravensblood Forest It's sorrow that feeds your lies

She could have ran and ran until her legs gave out beneath her and she wouldn't have been far enough away. It was lucky that Blue Willow had tailed Saēna into Ravensblood Forest, for if the healer hadn't passed by her with a look of surprise on her face, the girl might have ran herself into oblivion and become as lost to her pack as Junior was. The appearance of the Alpha female, however brief, was enough to put a halt to Saēna's fear-stricken flight.

The patchy pup threw herself to the ground, and only then did she retch bile upon her own paws. Disgusted by this, the girl quickly stood up and retched some more, expelling all the contents of her stomach. Tytonidae strolled by at some point, but Saēna was in a stupor when it happened that would rival the spacey girl's own fantasies. Unbeknownst to either of them, they would ultimately react similarly, although Saēna would invent Osprey Jr. as a figment of her imagination rather than inventing an entire world.

But that would not happen for a few days, and already the rust-clad pup had turned about to follow Ty, albeit very timidly. They arrived in time to find Blue Willow hauling the discovered bones out of the forest. Had she been alone, Saēna might have grieved by openly crying and wailing her despair to the heavens, followed by another round of dysfunctional vomiting and confusion, but Ty was there.

Unfortunately, Ty chose to yell at the corpse as if it was still alive, and this snapped any remaining sanity that Saēna, having been the one to discover her idolized sister's remains (she had hated her but she had also admired her, moreso now than before) had left.

“SHUT UP!” she screamed at Ty's backside with her entire body puffed up like a pine tree. “SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP!” And, as though channeling Junior's dearly departed soul through her own body, she charged the dreamy Tytonidae in an earnest attempt to throw her to the ground and beat her fantasy out of her, if only because the way Ty treated the body like it was alive made her feel like being sick all over again. All the while, tears streamed down her face and blinded her.
