Flash Flood!

It seemed he and Silent were some of the fortunate ones, not caught out unawares in the storm when it struck. The thunder was an indicator of what was to come, but he couldn't have anticipated just how devastating the torrential rain was about to be. Even when the two of them left their den the rain began to fall harder, but neither wasted any time in seeking higher ground. There were sights and sound that indicated the danger that some of their packmates were in - but his priority was in keeping Silent safe, first and foremost.

He climbed higher with her, a difficult feat in the steady rain that drummed down around them and completely obscured much of their surroundings. Each step was riskier than the last, the already uneven terrain now even more treacherous as the rain turned to a full flash-flood. His chest was heaving with exertion as they continued their climb, aiming to stop somewhere that was completely out of harm's way, though he feared they might not find that so easily given the weather conditions.
