ears flick up, steps faltering at the awful screeching groan to emit from the mountain they stood upon and were therefore; at the complete mercy of. only a mere inhale before that everything was perfect; and she'd had the audacity to be miserable about it. plodding along, hating the cold, missing their home, fretting over lainie, over the situation with helios and zephyr...she would forever hate herself for not appreciating the perfect element of that moment. for they were together, the whole family and they travelled with a hope. this was not the end. but..never again because with the next exhale came that sound and dread washed over her in one freezing motion as despite not knowing what exactly was about to happen, the nature of the noise was enough to make her fur stand on end and her mind to halt in it's tracks as bi-eyes lifted; mouth agape and the world closed in on them in one fatal sweep. 

except miraculously, as the rocks rained down in all their fury; polaris was thrown back from her family as the ground lurched with the sheer impact and like a ragdoll her nimble flame flew threw the air and all that can slip forth is a sickened gasp as she makes contact with something hard and the darkness cradles her into its gentle embrace.

she wishes she'd stayed there, there could be nothing crueler than making her wake into this world. 

ringing. 

a wince as eyes crack open, squinting in confusion as a shaky inhale of dust results in a pained cough racking her body. it echoes about distantly over the ringing and...and there's no other noise. the silence presses on her as bleary confusion starts to fall back against the rising wave of sheer, stabbing panic. blinking a number of times, she focuses as hard as she can...looking, looking...rocks, so many rocks. 

paws move slowly, too slowly..come on move quicker!! aches prickling across her entire form as she makes it to a stand only to wobble precariously and stumble into the gathered bits of broken mountain. actual crumbling mountain, at her paws. it's so..so wrong. yet it does not compare to the unease to rack her guts as the disturbed stones roll from their perches to land upon the ground and echo. again with that echo, so strange to hear penetrate the silence...silence...slowly her groggy mind made the complete circle it'd touched on only moments before; illustrating the true issue and as reality begins to truly jerk her from the dark's numbing fingers; hysteria rises in her chest. 

stumbling forth, she scans the area desperately for some sort of sign of life; anywhere. a sob hitches in her chest as she blinks back burning tears. where, where, where. she felt like the only wolf in the world and had to stop and take in a few painful breaths at the fear of it all. glancing about helplessly; she cries out; "pa-" only to break off raspily and grit her jaws with frustration. she must..she had to be brave, papa was always brave and he never- never lost. but then, where was he? a soft whimper escapes into the heavy air. "papa!" it increases in volume this time, piercing through but receiving no sort of reponse. shaking she yells again, tone raising with panic. "m-mama, maman, lainie!! zeph...helios?!" tears stream freely down her cheeks now as the pain to open up in her chest sends a soft gasp spilling from her jaws. it's the worse thing she's ever felt and in that moment she's convinced she must surely be dying, this pain could be nothing less than her heart imploding. 

yet it beats on and the breathtaking agony remains. her body is alive with this awful energy and she uses it to throw herself at the wall of rubble in her way; crying out as she tries to pull at it until blood leaks from her paws and stains her attempts in jeering colours. her chest rises and falls with a rapid hysteria, sobs racking her thin frame as her brain struggles to accept what stares her in the face. paws start to scoot backwards, the energy rising until she feared it would cause her whole being to burst apart and with ears flat against her head; the young girl turns and flees the scene. not once does she stop sprinting, even though she stumbles and falls a countless amount of times; she simply springs back up and continues on. she feels nothing and everything, the aches of her body have long since faded into a dull nothingness but the pain within her doesn't let up and all she can do is try to outrun it as tears stream down her face. 

she can never stop, all she can do is run and run and run.
