run away from the hum-drum [VOLCANO]

There was no time to do anything but run from certain death. However severe her pain Belle had no desire to follow Archon into this fire. The only thoughts racing through her head were to run for her life. Escape had been near impossible, without Obi she would have been consumed as well. Her paws barely remained beneath her as they left the spewing Volcano behind. The Empress was singed, her breathing was ragged, and she wasn't sure if her children would become orphans as she and Obi fled the volcano without Archon…

The thought made her want to scream again, but the act would do nothing for her smoke afflicted throat. The Empress would try to keep her mind blank through the long journey, but she wondered briefly if anyone already thought her dead. She pushed her horrendous grief from her mind as she dragged her singed form up to wolfpaw lake. She was exhausted and knew keenly that she only half returned to Ashen. The other half consumed by the fires of liquid rock.

Deathbelle tipped her head back and called for the pack. They needed to relocate for now, to protect her most precious pups and all she had left of her dearest Husband. Belle sat as tall as she could and held herself together despite the pain and anger threatening to burst forth. Her children and family needed to come first. This meeting would be quick, no one needed to be exposed to the danger longer than necessary.
