Walk | Talk | Think Answering the same call that she did were Terrae and Locha, and both of them seemed to have picked up on the urgency in their elder brother's howl though each appeared just as confused as she did. The sickening sense of dread only worsened when Gaia arrived, who on any given day struck the friendly Elementas girl as timid and quiet and shy. Today, she looked broken, especially when she curled up against Glacier with her young daughter pressed in her direction. What happened? Gale wondered to herself, and as her other elder brother pulled himself dripping from the ocean she thought she knew. The horrible suspicion that clawed icy cold through her insides was confirmed as Voltage informed them what had happened, and her ears tucked completely against her head. How could this be? They were still so little, they could not possibly be taken from them so soon. And she had been so full of life the last time she had seen the little Illume, with her booming laugh and energy to spare. She might not have been the most comfortable around the children, but Gale did not wish this on them, or on her brother and his mate. How long had it been since she disappeared? What were their chances of finding her? Her ears perked as both of her brothers offered her instructions, pairing her up with Locha in a search along the shoreline of their home. Her grey-green eyes traveled quickly to her sister to meet her gaze, to know that she understood too, before she nodded her head to confirm that she would do her role. "Got it." Whatever needed to be done to find the girl, she would do it. Even swimming, which she hated. But running was her strong suit, and with another glance at her sister she stepped away from the group as further directions were given to the others, wasting no time in setting off down the beach at a swift lope with her eyes scanning both the wave-tossed shoreline and the waters just beyond. |
