The Unraveling - Going Deeper

Zeke stands with the small group of Syndicate wolves, posture rigid and ready to lash out at the strangers if any one of them attempts to harm the pups. Others arrive, striking up conversation but he pointedly ignores them, only giving his attention to Rhazien as they wait. Suddenly, the ground begins to shake violently again, shuddering underneath his paws as the man tries to find a grip on the rapidly cracking ice. Duel-toned eyes shoot up to Rhazien, alarm hidden deep within his gaze as the ice finally gives way.
Darkness claws at him as his body tumbles downward, head and ass switching directions more times than he could count before the ground is there to greet him. He lands awkwardly and Ezekiel feels the tendon in his inner right back leg stretch beyond what its normal limits are and a grunt of pain leaves his mouth while the world fades away for a moment. Ice showers him as he blinks back into awareness, head lifting from the ground as he hears paws shuffling around him.
Body shifts and he stands, wincing at the pulling in his leg which causes him to wobble for a moment before he hikes it so he can quickly assess the situation. It seems that some strange, crystalline worm has appeared, it’s crystal shard lined mouth open and teeth bared as the soft blue light from above illuminates the strange creature. Then one of the pups he had been watching gleefully smacks a rock at the wall before charging towards its base and the older male moves.
With a hopping gait, he ignores the others that are trying to join in and fight the creature and aims for the pup, seeking to try and grab ahold of her scruff. As he seeks to grab the pup, his body is also turning as he attempts to put himself between the creature and the pup so that he might take the brunt of whatever damage the creature might seek to do to the child. He couldn’t really give two flying fucks about the kid but she was Sephiran’s blood and he would not allow her to get injured if it is possible he could prevent.
All Zeke wants to do is throw the pup as far away from the battle as possible so that the adults could handle this thing without having to worry about them... if only pups weren't so stupid.
