when the whole world trembles and shakes

The trembling. How she hated the trembling of the earth, how it shook her and rattled her senses. Erion, it seemed had the level head. He could see that Alpine wasn?t in the best shape for climbing with a pup in his mouth. He told them to go without him. Surreal stood fast, Alpine?s reply falling on her ears. He would not leave the boys side? Her ears pinned with indecision, before Alpine confirmed her knowledge. Cracked ribs. And the trembling began again. ?I?ll go. Try to find a way up while I?m gone, but try not to venture too far from the location. Be safe!? She gathered her haunches and thrust herself up onto the pillar, claws scraping for a hold as the earth shook.

She scaled the pillar, muscles screaming at the abuse of trying to stay balanced while every part of the nature around her wanted to shake her free. But she was Valhallan, and Valhallans did not submit. So she forced her way up.

Light stung her eyes as Surreal pulled herself up over the crest with a snarl. She wasn?t sure how long it had taken to get up the pillar. Everything had been shaking, quaking around her, rattling her senses. She?d barely had enough strength to reach this point and pull herself over. She slumped to the ground, gasping, as below her the earth groaned and ceased its shaking, like a great monster taking a nap before the hunt. The cry of a hawk from above made her open her eyes, finding the glitter of fiery opal against a feathered breast. Battlesong looped in the sky, ready for her to rise and follow her home.

Surreal pulled herself up, onto trembling legs, and forced herself to run home.
