I wish you only the best [earthquake thread]

The world trembled, bucking violently beneath her. Pine trees swayed and groaned with each contraction of the land. When it had started, the healer, looked up suddenly- confused. Then she realized, it was an earth-quake . She was lucky that she wasn?t in her rocky den- there she would have to worry about it collapsing on top of her. At least out here among the forest, she only had to worry about the towering pines. She heard a deafening crack, and looked up to see a tree collapsing to the ground, sending its pine needles flying. She shut her eyes, to protect them from the debris, and felt a sudden pressure blow into her right side. She rolled with the impact, she grunted, as her lithe body contacted the rough ground. When she stopped rolling, she opened her eyes, spotting the offending limb that had rolled off the slight incline where she had been standing. Letting out a frustrated growl, at the large limb, her claws gripped into the ground as the world contracted beneath her. A deafening crack shocked her, and she looked up to see the tree she was lying against break. There was no time to move, she buried her head under her paws, and tensed- expecting pain, death even. Irune, the thought of her daughter worried her. She hadn?t seen the young wolf lately, but she hoped she was okay. She felt a blast of air, and opened her eyes slightly. Oh hey, she wasn?t dead.

The empire was a mess, she had to make some new paths to get to the one who had called out. Her golden eyes would come to rest on the bedraggled figure of a blue tinted male, one she recognized from the meeting. Her ears flattened against her head, as she took in his state. He was bleeding- his tail was gone. She rushed from the shadows, trying to calm the anxiety that she felt. Approaching him, she spoke- ?Your tail. Y-you need treatment.? She panted slightly. She glanced around, looking for any herbs to work with. ?May I?? She asked politely, indicating his tail with a flick of her ears. She glanced about, wondering if any of the pack would join them- before her eyes came to rest on the male. ?Pardon. I am Eris, the pack?s healer.? She would introduce herself, a concerned frown on her face. God, she wasn?t usually this scattered brained. She?d lived through earthquakes before- but this time not knowing the state of her daughter, left her nearly petrified. She took a few calming breaths, trying to focus on the patient right in front of her. Speech... |
