where oh where could our sister be?

*Scald*

Everything back at home was weird. That Eden lady and her pup had disappeared. All of the adults were being super hush-hush about it. What was even weirder was that Deluge was also missing. Mom and dad weren't back from their scouting trips either which meant several adults were still gone. Sparrow had mentioned that they weren't allowed to leave until everyone returned, but he couldn't just leave his sister out there alone! What if she was injured? What if she was DEAD? The idea scared Scald! He couldn't just leave his sister out there alone to fend for herself!

So he went to Rexx in the middle of the night, poking his brother until the tusked boy awoke. Mumbling in Rexx's ear about them sneaking off to go find Deluge, he was glad it didn't take too much convincing. With their other sister safe with Urtur and Erish (dad's companions) to watch over her, Scald slipped out of the pack lands with Rexx toward the west. With his nose to the ground, nearly inhaling sand, he picked up a faint trail that was most definitely his sister. Urging his brother to keep up as he loped in the direction of the west coast, it would be a while before Scald finally lost the scent.

Ahead of them, as dawn broke over the horizon, a huddle of lakes lay over flat land. Grass sprung up around each lake edge while mud spread out in every direction. Sinking only slightly in the marshy area as the scent faded into the water, Scald lifted his head with a furrowed brow."I can't smell her anymore Rexx," his voice is frustrated as he continues to glance around the area. This place wasn't familiar to him. Even the birds resting on the water's surface weren't familiar to him either. Their loud quacking made him want to scare them off but they had an important task at hand!
