Broken Antler Fen Everyone you love has built it

Eljay and Maia had gathered Sylvie and her siblings into the family den to share the news that they had. She quickly caught on that there was some weight to the information, and she began to feel concerned before Eljay had even started to speak. She swallowed deeply to clear the lump in her throat, but her effort was in vain.

Like Hymnal and Roswell, Sylvie had been unaware of the prey situation; her meals and snacks hadn't lessened, and so she had gone about her day as she usually did. However, she was vaguely familiar with Redhawk Caldera. She had heard it in passing a few times, and now she knew the importance of it—it was where Papa had grown up. Sylvie wondered what this had to do with them and grew tense as Eljay's anxiety became apparent.

"But the food is... There isn't enough right now for us, for the pack. We need to go somewhere that has more food for now, and we decided that it would be best to move to Redhawk Caldera, for now." her father revealed. After that, whatever was said went unnoticed as her mind began to race. Sylvie doubled down under the weight of the news; her world had been turned upside down, and she was still trying to navigate the sudden and unexpected gravity of their situation.

She was speechless, shocked, and overwhelmed.

Unable to put her thoughts into words, Sylvie gave into her emotions. She wanted to be as optimistic as Hymnal had been, but she couldn't. Sylvie began to cry, openly and intensely—she didn't have the strength to control it. Sylvie lowered herself onto the floor and looked away from her family as she continued to wail.
