Duskfire Glacier moth to a flame

It was all set in stone from here on out. Her mother was not usable anymore. Her mother had a short temper with her all the damn time, even when Makatza tried to visit her father, see how he was doing it felt like her mother was constantly watching her, on edge or expecting her to misbehave. Like she ever would misbehave! Her mother curled up in there, she stopped grooming, she stopped protecting the borders, she became helpless, weak. Not fit to lead the rest of the pack. She saw it with every passing day and for every day that passed where her father left no sign to become better, the more her own strength grew.

When Meerkat called for the entire pack she was keen on not going. But as she heard the call was for everyone, she figured now was as good as time as any. She headed for the pack meeting, she watched her mother nuzzle into Lane's shoulder, she watched as everyone came and while Makatza had lots of things to say, lots of anger and issues she wanted to direct at everyone, she stayed quiet. By herself.

She decided to stay behind anyone who came, she let it be known she was there, but for a change Makatza was silence as the grave, she said and did nothing, didn't look at anyone but Meerkat, wondering what this woman wanted now. Though she had an idea what this was about she didn't find herself liking it, but for now she had to see what was going to happen, she had to bide her time.
