Oh, Let's Go Back To The Start...

Deus did not know Fel very well, but she was an Abraxas and an elder whom he was supposed to obey. All his life he'd tried to be an obedient listener, though as she gave the instruction to wait behind a boulder he felt his resolve waver. Why couldn't he wait with Eli? It wasn't fair to have the man wake up and not know that someone had gone to help Aureus. He clamped his jaws together to resist protesting, meekly moving as directed of him.

It was difficult through the shock to know how long exactly his aunt had left for and Deus spent most of the time alone staring off blankly into the rock. He was brought back to the present as Fel's paw scooped him against her. What about Eliphas? Deus wanted to ask, but his question was silenced by the haunted look in her eye. Instead he whispered a worry into the air as they walked. "Will Uncle Eli be mad at me?" Eligos was the alpha, sworn to protect each and every member of the pack. Would he think Deus had a hand in this catastrophe?
