Dragoncrest Cliffs Barracuda

Last for me. <3

Many wolves found them.

Swordfish lifted his eyes, dazedly looking from one face to the next. His head lolled back while he searched for Quennell, worried that something would happen to the other boy. It felt like they had miles to go, still. Home wasn’t real beneath his paws. The touches of concern were not real, either. It was not until his mother’s sobs reached his ears that he understood.

They were home. They had made it home.

Swordfish slumped against the earth. Instructions were spoken to the wolves who were there. The young seafarer could not keep up with them. He didn’t know what was happening. Everyone’s haste was making him queasy. Until Suzu appeared, features creased with worry.

The girl approached Quennell, inspecting where his tail was nothing more than a bloodied stump. When her gaze found Swordfish, the boy stared back vacantly. One thump of his tail was all that he could offer before darkness sucked him away.
