the search party

He felt like they had been searching non stop for days now, but that wasn’t entirely true. They’d rested, eaten, recuperated slightly and the search went on. Void knew the lands around Abaven as well as he knew his home. He’d spent his life exploring the eastern lands and the young man felt confident as he led his brother and sister into the unknown. Void felt like getting out was good for them, the three of them had a purpose, a mission, a common goal that could bring them closer together. Void just prayed that the search would be fruitful. He didn’t want to see the disappointment in his siblings eyes any longer. They needed to bring their mother home.

Void found a dry place one on of the delta islands that they could settle down at for the night. Their vision wasn’t quite as useful during the night especially with the moon waning into nonexistence. Besides he’d found himself thankful for the quiet moments he got to experience curled up beside Spirit and Gloom.

Still, despite his focus and efforts in this trip Void couldn’t help but dwell on thoughts of Plague. How eager he’d been to help look for his missing kin, and how sweet he was when they were together. The feel of his coat against his own fur… Void shook himself as he finished clearing out the small thicket. There was protection from the wing and enough dead foliage that they’d have a comfy bed to rest on. He sighed softly to himself and returned his attention to his brother and sister.

”Alright, I think this will do for the night. We’ll keep heading westward in the morning.” Void invited them closer and offered to let them settle before he’d curl around them protectively. He was still getting used to being the leader and provider, but Void was swiftly becoming comfortable with his place in their group.
