Swiftcurrent Creek BWP P2: For you, I would get beat to smithereens

Soter was not the smartest of the Creek's brood. So when the earth rumbled he bolted. The smarter thing would have been to perhaps hunker down until it ended, but off he went on jello-like legs. He had his father in his sight before he completely ate dirt. Tripping and tumbling against the shaking earth. Even here with his head sideways as he laid upon the ground, he could see with shock and horror as a rock much larger than he could have ever imagined cracked a tree.

As the earth settled back down he hastily moved back onto his paws. DAD! He cried as he crashed onto the scene fully, aiming to bury himself in the side of his father. What's happening? This far Soter had only ever really been calm and cool but he was absolutely terrified in this moment. In case the fear rolling off of him in waves didn't make that clear, perhaps the tears welling up in his eyes conveyed it.
