Emberwood as long i'm here, no one can hurt you

the magician quickly began to feel overwhelmed, her heart hammering against her chest. to keep herself from falling over, bhediya sat back on her haunches and allowed her head to hang while listening to awol's question. we..., she took a moment to ground herself before continuing, gaze fixed on kavik, it wasn't an accident. we could smell.. it on her. 

then, back to awol, only her front half was in the water. it could have been an accident, but — silence — it's easier to believe that someone was trying to cover their tracks. it wasn't impossible to believe that the girl had slipped and fallen into the water, but there was no ice around when they'd arrived. even if there had been, the water was shallow enough that any adult wolf should have been able to climb back out.

i think that her body is still there, bhediya sighed, then turning to look at ibis. i can take you.
