Flash Flood!

Everything happened all at once. The storm struck, hard and fast, thunder booming through the mountains. The way it echoed from one peak to the next was ominous, and even Tethys - who rarely got intimidated by things like weather, being a child of the north - felt uneasy because of it. When the torrential rain began she was torn between seeking shelter and making sure her immediately family was okay. Wherever they were she had no idea, and navigating the packlands was increasingly difficult as the rain began to fall harder and the world was plunged into darkness.

Sirius's call echoed faintly in the distance and she moved to oblige, though she hesitated for a long moment before heading that way. Once she nearly got there and noticed the absence of her siblings' scent she went a different way, trailing after them as best as she could given the rain. Stratum letting loose a call for help quickly diverted her, and by the time she reached them she found Ansem and Grimoire there. Her brother was unconscious, and panic immediately set in. "What happened?" She asked quickly, hovering over him with brows furrowed tight with worry. "Can we carry him somewhere higher? I think we need to," she urged him, sounding a little desperate.
