The Silence Is Killing Me

Chest heaves as Haydée waits for Artorias to appear, fear etched into every line of her young face as she lifts her voice Eltrys weaves his own into her’s. Together, they sing a call for Artorias, urgent and imploring him for help. As the call fades off, the earthen man’s words pull her green gaze over to him and, for a moment, the vulnerable, lost child that she feels is on full display. Just as quickly as it appears, the russet woman wipes it away, offering him a weak but grateful smile as she dips her head in silent thanks.

It doesn’t take too long for the huge alpha to appear and, while she had waited, she has done her best to school her features into a somewhat calmer mask. How successful she is, the young Leader is not sure. The frustration that the Lord wears is clear and his words slam into her with all the force of a mentor disappointed in his student. Haydée visibly wilts underneath his smoldering gaze and Saga is quick to excuse herself, rushing off without a word as to where she was going.

Taking a deep breath, trying to keep herself calm, cool, and collect, Haydée begins to explain, “Not too long ago, Gilgamesh trespassed onto Ethne land. My mother and I confronted him and tried to talk things over but he made demands and showed no respect for us or our pack. When I told him to leave and asked some of my members to escort him to the border, Gilgamesh lunged at me when I turned my back. My sister, Saga,” a paw waves absently at the retreating form the polar bear, “intercepted him and knocked him away from me.”

Lip trembles and she sucks in a breath before continuing, “Unfortunately, his head hit a rock when he landed. I… I don’t know how bad it is but my healers are tending to him right now and we need the help of your healers. Please, for Gilgamesh’s sake, please help him.” A slight tremor has entered her body as she pleads for help, stating the facts and hoping that Artorias won’t condemn her for what was truly an accident. Wide, fearful, emerald eyes stare up at him, begging for help, not for her but for the injured and possibly dying man.
