valhalla coming

Gloom · Updated 04/30/23:

Gloom, much like Spirit felt more lost than she ever had, Void had promised he wouldn't leave them, and yet- well it certainly felt like he had. The trip they'd taken all those months ago felt like a lifetime ago now, though she had been glad to find her sister returned the truth was very little seemed to have changed since then. That was, except for her willingness to wander. More than ever she'd found her paws itching to leave pack lands, to feel that surge of confidence she'd felt away from all those prying eyes, the weight of the pack's expectations on her when she knew, knew she would always fail. She was retracing the steps they'd taken when they'd left to try and find their mother.

It was calming and familiar to feel she was truly alone in lands she recognized. A situation she never got back in Abaven, it also gave her the breathing room to actually think. Her feelings about Void were... well complicated. She neither wanted to tell him not to chase his heart, but neither did she want to live without him, to be forced to give up the only stability she had. Spirit for all he tried did was not the rock in her life their brother was.

Gloom had found the falls they'd passed all those months ago and begun the long trek down to the pool the water cascaded into. She settled herself a ways from the base of the falls, somewhere she could lounge and dangle her forepaws into the water but not be getting sprayed by the crashing water. And so that was where she was for some time, just trying to sort through her jumbled thoughts. Eventually, she had started to drift, eyelids drooping... But that was suddenly stopped when the pounding of paws hit her, the sound preceding the canine that rounded the corner only moments after she heard him. And then in true Gloom fashion the panic set in. The girl dropped her head, suddenly trying to flatten herself into the ground, tail curling so it was tucked as close to her rump as possible and her ears pulling back as eyes grew wide in the fear she struggled under each and every day.

It seemed he hadn't seen her yet... but it was only a matter of time and each moment Gloom could feel the way her heart hammered in her chest, so strong she would have been surprised to find he couldn't hear it.

Speak! Think!
