Sin Armada

Blood stained figure ran for cover, as even here the winds would guide the ash cloud that threatened them. It fell upon the lands like a choking mist, the beast barely containing the clean air within his lungs. But soon he would have to expel the breath he held and take in a new one. Lungs burned as he moved, forcing him to push faster. He did not want to get caught in the open and choke to his death. It was not the way the crimson beast would leave this world. Soon, narrowed orbs spotted what seemed like adequate shelter. At least, he so hoped. Without waiting a moment longer, Sin would make haste into the hollow of the tree, dragging his body along the ground to fit into the narrow opening. The pressure his lungs exerted was building, forcing him to expel and cough the precious air he held onto so desperately. Ash filled air filled his lungs for a brief moment, causing him to cough more. But once inside the sheltered hollow, the air was thick but at least it contained minimal ash compared to the dense fog of it outside.

Narsha

She had been right, a storm had been moving in upon them? now however? She wished he had been wrong, the ash covered everything and clung to her throat. She and the boys had been out for a bit of a walk when the massive black cloud had descended upon them. Now she wanted nothing more than to run and seek out shelter. She could not leave her sons though and they were struggling with it more than she was. She nudged them hurriedly along, scanning for anywhere that might be safe. Visibility was limited, shapes moving beyond the smothering fog of ash. Finally she thought she spotted a hollow tree trunk, the opening small but would work. She bundled her Rin through, unaware of it's current occupant and was about to turn to do the same for her other son when she heard him call out, somewhere? back there.

The world had gone black, the lovely day swallowed up by the thick darkness that had swooped down upon the small family. Kyung had been fascinated at first, then terrified. He couldn't breathe, couldn't see! The pounding blood in his ears made it hard to hear, but he could feel his mother press into him, look up to make out the vague outline of her form. She pushed them forwards in a hurried pace; he kept close to her as she guided them through the forest. At one point they grew close to the trees, their looming forms threatening in the gloom. He could not see, only outlines and shadows, so it was not surprising that he didn't see the root stuck up out of the ground that tripped him. He went down with a grunt ash rising in a cloud then settling down on him again. He picked himself up, scanning frantically for his mother who seemed to have not noticed his fall. Shapes moved all around on the horizon but he could not tell one from another. He let loose a small howl, ash coating his throat. Talk like this

Peace had been upon them for a time, he enjoying a walk with his mother and brother. Unaware of what was to befall them in short time. He would keep his gaze on the ground, quiet for most of the trip. He hadn't much felt like talking, instead continued the darker thoughts that dwelled in his mind. And just like his thoughts, a dark cloud would fall all around them. Rin looked up, panic setting in soon after the brief moment of curiosity. What was this? He felt his mother push him and Kyung along, the cloud settling over them choking and blinding him. He squinted his eyes, a sharp intake of breath sent him into a small coughing fit before holding his breath. Kyung had shifted beside him, Rin unable to determine where his brother had moved to, but guessed maybe under mom? Shadows and shapes loomed all around them, hidden behind dense haze. He suppressed another cough, the cloud thick all around him, heavy on his coat. His mother pushed him forth towards a looming shape, and he would find himself within a tight hollow. As he adjusted his eyes, he noticed something at the back, though this place seemed to be cramped even for one wolf, but it seemed that it would still hold three more if they didn't mind not having personal space. He coughed then, ash spitting from his mouth as he shook out his coat soon after. He realized then that the neighbor was someone he recognized, so he was not alarmed. Turning, he would speak to his brother. "Ky are alright?....Ky?" Panic set in, his brother wasn't with him! Had he gotten lost out there? "Speech"
