i'll never forget you

Aslatiel had received word that something had happened. She was assured that Indigo wasn't dead or injured beyond repair, but he was indeed broken. Without notifying anyone of her whereabouts, the young woman limped her way across the land, dead set on reaching her brother. Asla's heart hammered in her chest and she cursed the injured leg for making her slow. Ashur moved along beside her, growling low about how they should have told someone first and she shot him an icy glare. This was too important to wait. Besides, she would never ask for permission.

It took over a day to get to the Hallows. Since this was her grandmothers land, she didn't bother announcing her presence. Instead, she made her way directly to the river that led to the falls. Following the river and her nose, the cream and grey wolf made her way to the den that she believed to be her brothers.

As she moved inside of the dark space, the smell of old blood and injuries wrinkled her nose. There was a female scent here as well and jealousy rose up within Aslatiel like a dragon. She had told him to play the game, but this was proof that she didn't like it any more than he did. Hopefully the woman wouldn't show up while Asla was here or she'd rip her a new one. Especially for leaving Indigo in such a state.

Slowly and gently Aslatiel curled her small body around Indigo's upper half. She didn't know quite what was wrong with him other than the fact that he had lacerations scattered all over. Asla began dragging her tongue over the scratched on his muzzle and started to clean the blood from his fur. He couldn't stay like this.
