Swiftcurrent Creek BWP · in a past life

The rumbling paused him in the middle of his inspection of the borders. Then sounds he heard in the distance could suddenly be felt beneath his feet,  but it was gone just as quickly as it had come. Worry made the already very large knot of anxiety in his chest swell and pulsate. What could it be? Were the mountains preparing to crumble and fall down on them? 

Suddenly, he worried that the children might be frightened, and he feared they would run from the creek. Turning from the border, he sprinted towards the heart of the territory to where their den was located, hoping to find them there. He caught the scent of Lainie, and then Helios and Zephyr as he neared the rendezvous site, though, and he turned and headed quickly towards them.

When he arrived, Kavik came immediately to stand protectively near them. Are you all okay? he asked, scanning each child for any obvious injuries.
