Look to the Future

Serene Validis The rainfall that had consumed the lands as of late had dowsed the forest of vines with much needed water. Serene had been planting some of the herbs outside her den, but with little sunlight poking through the canopy and little rain being able to slip in, made some problems for her garden. The fawn woman was starting to think of ways to climb up and peel back a hole in the canopy when the first droplet hit her snout. It was startling at first, causing her to shake her head and blink at the sudden coolness on her nose, but then a familiar patter of rain began to make it's way into the trees and somehow she knew that her garden would at least get the much needed rain water they needed. For the majority of the storm Serene was simply watching the weather pass from the comfort of her den, occasionally stepping out to inspect the condition of the plant life, hoping they were all getting equal amounts. At some point Serene must've fallen asleep, for how long she wasn't sure, but when she woke to the sound of her sweet Malleus's voice drifting through the vines, she had forgotten about everything else. The sandy fae would be quick to stand to her feet, and only spared her garden a pacing glance as she began the trek out of the cathedral and towards the creek where she had heard the silver man's howl. On the way, Serene began to think about what this call could mean, and what it could possibly be for. Unlike before, this call sounded more open, like it was an invitation for all to join him, rather than just her. She wondered if she would meet others from their pack, and that made butterflies swirl in her stomach. Sure, Serene had joined seasons ago now, but she still lacked the outgoing personality to meet each Abraxas. The thought of seeing all of them now, made her a bit wary. When she arrived, her amber orbs immediately found Malleus sitting above the others, and her heart lurched forward as it usually did whenever Malleus was involved. Still nervous to meet others, she would cast her gaze down as she moved closer, knowing that most of these wolves would be relatives of his and thus Abraxas; and she knew all too well that they believed themselves above beings like her. Without giving it much thought, Serene had slipped into the gathering and found herself sitting close to the silver male, finding a sense of security sitting beside him. When she finally found the courage to lift her gaze, she only found strangers; one male with deep dark markings and the other a ghostly pale grey. Neither she recognized. But what happened next certainly caught her eye. Another male approached the meeting, but this wolf carried another. Immediately Serene stood at attention, worried that someone might've gotten hurt. As the male spoke, her features grew increasingly worried. The woman, Zinnia, was alive but unconscious, which made the fawn woman worry for possible brain damage. Hopefully, it was just a bad concussion and not something far worse. The canyon, where the dark featured woman came from. What was her name again? Razi, Razi Abraxas. Which meant these wolves came from the sister pack. After realizing this, the fawn woman could feel her heart sink into her stomach. Were others hurt? Who survive and who didn't? Where were they now? Her ears flattened against her head and her entire body began to sink into itself as she processed what had happened. Panic and fear crept into her very soul as she turned back to look at Malleus, wondering what he would have them do. Obviously they had to do something, right? They couldn't stay here and turn a blind eye to family. Family was everything. |
