Moonspear fear

When Seal and her father had first returned to Moonspear, Orca was kept away initially—but not for long. She was persistent in her demands to see her da, and her sister. When she did, the tiger sunk its claws into her, too, the wounds not manifesting in a physical wound but in her psyche.

Too proud, perhaps, to feel like she failed her family in any way, Orca now resolved to truly become a protector. If the world outside had done this, then she wanted absolutely no part of that place. With her da as wounded as he was, she was quick to learn about mortality—and that her parents were not invincible, like she had always believed. 

So she knew fear, too, though not by its name. Just the feeling of it. Da could be hurt, and she did not like the idea of that… or her mam being hurt, either. Seal… she has always been fragile. Orca hated that she had not been there to save her, but understood deep down that she would’ve been in the same spot as her sister in. 

All she could do now was be sure that nothing else bad happened. So when not sparring with sticks outside of their ulaq, Orca was standing guard for @Seal and @Njord so that they would be safe, and her mother would not have to worry more than she already felt.
