Dirty water, poison rain [Disbandment]

The dry season had, at long last, left the parched lands for another year in order to give way to the rains. Some of those very rains had kept Razi from calling the meeting she'd been trying to get to for some time. Between chasing her pups all over the territory and relocating her den twice to be out of reach of swollen river on some particularly rainy days there just hadn't been a good moment. Until now.

The clouds were overcast as per usual, covering the canyon in a great swath of ominous shadow that just screamed bad weather. Trotting along some of the safer paths with her children in tow, Razi hoped to hold a very brief meeting. Long enough to introduce the children, as well as herself in her new position, anything else might be pushed back until a day that was a little clearer arrived so she could speak without cautiously glancing at the looming rain-heavy sky that threatened to start pouring at any moment. Glancing behind herself to the straggling children, Razi called an encouraging, "Almost there!" In fact, yes, this was the spot.

Settling herself and her offspring at the outcropping, elevated a good ways away from the river but no where near the top of the canyon, Razi took a position at the top of a short rise where she'd be elevated enough to be seen by a group and heard when she spoke. Seiran came scurrying after her, seeking to bury her face in Razi's dark fur. Once she felt ready, Razi sent a howl ringing through the canyon to summon the pack. She wouldn't tolerate any tardiness or absentees at this meeting. The call made that much clear; the pack members would just have to come answer it if they were confused as to why such an expectant call was coming from her and not Ashiel.

Some of the wait was spent grooming her fussy little daughter, who happened to have horrendously ruffled fur from romping about on the way there. It was peaceful. Was. A thunderous crack in the distance drew Razi's attention. When she turned to see where the lightning had struck, her pale gold eyes went wider than they ever had before. From the eastern side of the canyon nearest the ocean a thick wall of rain was fast approaching. It was unlike anything she'd ever seen before, so dense, the sound that preceded it made the earth shake. That much water, it would flood the canyon easily. It was coming right for them, swallowing the land in an almost solid wave of water that almost couldn't be called rainfall. Razi almost screamed, then she thought about howling to the pack but- no, no time, just run!

Get to high ground, run, run! She sought to scoop up the pups by their scruffs. She paid no mind to how heavy they were now, all that mattered was getting them all out intact. Scrambling for the fastest path to the top of the canyon, the woman sought to flee as fast as her legs would carry her, hackles raising as lightning struck on the other side of the canyon.



OOC: Eclipse/Aurum is disbanding due to lack of time to run it. If any pack members want to post please go for it, here or in your own thread if you really want to. If anyone wants to have arrived to the meeting place and be near razi at the time the monsoon arrives I'm down to try and make something out of this thread. Members are free to join other abraxas-run packs if they so chose.
