Ankyra Sound burning, falling down so many times before

More bodies arrived, in time with his frenzied question, but one quip from Erzulie gave him a word to describe that scent. Cougar -- he didn't recognize the sound of it, but that was likely due to finding it hard to focus. The scent was overwhelming to him. It lacked the tinge of blood but his memory more than made up for that — and Firefly was stuck there, standing and staring and spacing-out, hanging back as the others moved in. He wanted to help; he wanted to fight off this invader and protect his new family, but it was as if he'd turned to stone while flashes of his memory played out over, and over, and over, until he sank down upon the sand. Not cowering, but not being of use either. He could smell blood — there was blood everywhere — blood and shrieking, he could hear it so why couldn't they?
