Our greatest fear realized

Everyone was moving within moments, and that's what he loved most about his family. They listened when something was up. He panted as he booked it down the beach, wondering why he had to have his den on the outskirts. He passed the family den just as Locha was herding everyone out, but that wasn't his destination. The water was high, and at this point he was having to almost wade as he ran. He splashed through the water, pushing harder and faster before he finally got to the tunnels that lead to Glacier and Ani's den. Fear gripped him tight, sending ice cold shivers down his spine. Those children, the babies, his...god children. The ocean and the universe would not have them today, not over his dead body.

He turned into the tunnels, feeling the water climb to just under his chest when he saw them. Glacier was wading through and he quickly got out of the way before he saw Ani struggling. Quickly he moved forward to the new mother. "Let me take her, you get out of here, i'll be right behind you." He said quickly, his voice deep and serious as he looked at her. But there was no time, none at all! Quickly he reached forward to push his nose into her cheek in comfort, taking the milaseconds to do so, before reaching for the child. He'd usher her along before following quickly, his head craned to keep the child up but he was determined. This was not just Aurora in that moment, this was Illie, this was Current. It was every sibling he had lived to protect, and he wouldn't stop now. He would move from the den, paddling as hard as he could towards the trail to the prairie. His legs burned, his muscles ached, but he needed to get the child to dry land and back into the arms of her mother, so that if there was anyone else who might need help he would have the time.

"Burn Baby Burn"
