The Unraveling - It Burns

In the chaos and confusion of the sink hole Hikaru had lost contact with Mortis, though he held as tightly as he could to their sweet Odette, hopeful to get her somewhere safe. Finally he thought he had found some peace, and he had left her safely in a tree. His next order of business was to find Mortis. Panic held him in a strong grip, but they had to reunite for their daughter.

He heard a calamity, and rushed onward, uncertain if perhaps Mortis had found his way underground to them here. When he arrived he could scarcely believe his eyes. A giant worm with fire erupting from its jowls was facing off against a mass of young puppies. Already one of the younger wolves was placing himself between the deadly worm and the youths, and Hikaru couldn’t help but do the same. If the worm made it past them it would be heading straight for Odette. He couldn’t let that happen.

The koi wolf raced forward to stand beside Gruesome, putting himself between certain death and the young wolf pups.
