Once again she had left Seracia in search of herbs that just didn't want to grow within the pack's land. Plants were so stubborn, always needing a certain amount of sunlight or water in the soil in order to grow. You had to be very gentle with some or lose they broke apart and you could not use them.

Paws moved at a steady pace, tail waving behind a small and thin body. No matter how much food the pack brought back from hunts, no matter how much of it she ate, the small shewolf just didn't seem to get bigger. It made her think sometimes, would she be small for the rest of her life? There was nothing wrong with being small but it could cause problems later on in her life. Would she be able to cchildren one day? What if her size resulted in a complication? What if she was out collecting herbs one day and a rogue suddenly attacked her? Just thinking about it made a shiver run up her spine, the shewolf coming to a stop to quickly shake her head and take a deep breath. Why was she getting worked up over this? It's not like it was happening anytime soon, and when the time came she was sure nothing bad would happen.

Pushing those thoughts aside Loccian continued walking, she sniffed the ground and air, looking for certain smells a plant gave off that others didn't. Grey eyes scanned each plant she passed, checking the leaves and flowers to see if it was the one she needed to restock on. Nope, none so far. She would stop every couple minutes to check out a patch but sighing as she found that she was stocked decently for that herb. The more she looked the faster clouds seemed to roll in without her realizing until a droplet had landed right on her nose. Within a split second her head darted up to the sky with large grey eyes, oh how she hoped there would not be thunder and lightning. They were the worst for the little wolf, always managing to leave her hiding in the corner of her den.

As soon as that thought had left her mind it seemed like the sky wanted to torment the shewolf. Slowly the sky started to rumble, the wolf's ears laying back against her head as it grew and moved across the land towards her. "Why now?" She whined softly, peeling her grey eyes away and looking for a place where she could take shelter before it started to pour. Nothing was in sight except for a few bushes but those would do nothing, just offer very little protection. How embarrassing she most look, ears back, head low with tail tucked between her legs. If a wolf was nearby they would surely be making fun of her.

Suddenly there was a roar, far louder than the last. This was so loud that it caused Loccian to jump, and as it rolled on it caused her to take flight. Paws seemed to glide over the ground at how fast she had moved, not paying attention to what was aroudn her, just wanting to get away from here as soon as possible and find a place to hide. Before she knew it, the ground suddenly vanished from beneath her causing a yelp to burst from her jaws but quickly cut off as shehit her head against the ravine she fell in. Her body fell to the ground, a loud thud echoing down the ravine but quickly covered by a sudden downpour of rain. She lay there motionless, a cut on her head starting to ooze blood.
