It's wild like the river It's warm like the sun

The winged heir was running patrols. His father had vanished without a word, which wasn’t… entirely uncommon of him. He liked to take charge of everything, be everywhere at once. Did his father forget that others had to pick up the pieces when he did so? But Mortis simply got up and ran the patrols. He would need to do some hunting as well, they seemed to be going through their food pretty quick.

His thoughts derailed as his father called for the family. His heart sank, a meeting, now? What could it mean. He stopped what he was doing, and raced in the direction of the call. He arrived to find a pile of his younger siblings collected together. At first, it struck him of the difference, the change in his life. It wasn’t Asla, Indigo, and Azure waiting there for him. In fact, there was none of the first litter but him. His heart… hurt.

In the next moment, he realised who they were mobbing. He gasped in shock, his wings dropping hard to the ground as his muscles stopped holding them up. No.

No. How could he believe this? This was a lie. His father had… had done something. He couldn’t think, he couldn’t bear to get hurt again. He stepped slowly closer, as through in a dream. He caught her scent in the air. It was different, and there was - almost poetically - the scent of ash in her fur. But it was her. “Mum?” he said softly, and then he was moving forward, leaning over the smaller wolves as he spread out his wings and enveloped everyone beneath him. Holding them all together, holding them to Zee. tears leaked down his dark face as he leaned forward to press his head against that of Zees. closing his eyes, and holding his forehead to her. She was so small these days, he had to lean down so far to do it. He continued to shed silent tears. “....How.”
