Dragoncrest Cliffs in hell i'll be in good company

pp permission given for hyacinth and hermes, but please note that they will not be arriving at the tunnel

he'd been out with the kids when the storm struck. he and @Hyacinth had taken them for a trip along the beach, a mundane little outing meant to end soon after it had begun. it seemed far away now, like a hazy dream from another time, though only minutes separated the change.

dionysus was missing, frightened to a hasty flight by the first crack of thunder. the remaining trio searched frantically for him, until @Erzulie's call cut through the howling storm and zephyr realized that hermes could not be kept out in this weather. he sent hyacinth away, to erzulie and safety. then he pressed on, tracking dionysus's scent toward the beach.

until he became aware that he was being followed. or perhaps not; perhaps it was only coincidence that had the trespasser hot on zephyr's heels. as soon as he became aware of her presence, he whipped around with a snarl, calling briefly to the pack with a singular message: intruder.

and then he lunged for her, his children at the front of his thoughts.
