Ooc:: Just to be clear Ritsuka isn't too bad off. He has some area with more moderate, close to severe bruising but they are small, as well as other bruising, small cuts, and will end up becoming partially deaf in one ear. Other than that his body is just in shock with what all went on.

The pack, his home, was something he was becoming more and more attached to. The pack hunt, to his surprise and his enjoyment, had a much better turn out than he had been expecting. He felt like the pack was truly filling out now. They were small and yet the were growing strong. It was with these thoughts he had settled down at the edge of the gorge in the open to settle down for a small rest. He had risen earlier than usual today, before the sun had taken to the sky, and he needed just a little pick me up nap.

Lids would slide closed, ignoring the feeling in his gut that he should move... that something wasn't quite right. There had been nothing wrong with the borders, no trespassers to tell tale of... what was there to be cautious of?

Yes.... What to be cautious of indeed.

The world began to rumble, a growl building in the very Earth as the vibrations would shake him awake. Something was wrong... incredibly wrong. He could feel it in every fiber in his being now, alarm bells going off. Ritsuka leaped to his feet... and then everything really began to get hectic.

Rocks of varying sizes began to start falling around him. Green eyes would widen as Ritsuka started to run, stumbling from the movement beneath his paws. Crash! Crash! The sound of falling rocks was everywhere. There was movement everywhere as the earth lurched, the male barely able to keep on his paws as he desperately tried to get away from the rocks.

Sharp pain would ignite in his back as he felt impact, the blow from the rock that hit him in the lower area of his back being that last little nudge to bring him down. Ritsuka would tumble to the earth, emerald eyes squeezing closed as he submitted to whatever fate might have in store for him. Dust, sound, movement... For the first time, truly for the first time Ritsuka was afraid. Whatever was going on... this could cost him his life. His location was hardly ideal for this chaos.

More stones would hit his body, though all things considered Ritsuka was rather lucky. A couple small cuts and some bruising, though some of it more of a worse state, would be the only damage he would gain during this. Finally the earth would settle... and he would wait a few moments before opening his eyes.

How his ears were ringing... it was as if the sound hadn't quite ceased. The male would shakily rise, blinking eyes several times as he coughed. He would glance around him... Most of the stones had missed him... including a larger one that had landed not far off from his left. Had that one hit him he might have been in some serious trouble. He would look around, trying to figure out the location of Roman's howl. His head was swimming... and it was hard to concentrate.

Ritsuka would take a step, grunting with pain as his sides and back protested. He would stagger but tried to press on. If this crap started again he doubted he'd have such luck the second time. Another step, another stagger, and Ritsuka would fall back to the earth. Though his physical injuries weren't necessarily the worst he was still badly shaken, and it the male was going to suffer some sort of hearing damage from this. He was trying though... dammit he was trying. Even attempting to drag himself from this place, trying to push through the pain. Were the others okay? Roman? Gossy? Qanik? He didn't know the other members too well yet, though he'd be sad if anything happened to them. But... but Blizzard. His sister... where was she?

He would try to get to his paws again, body trembling before his legs gave out beneath him. He couldn't do this alone. Roman had been close enough to make the summoning howl... so at the very least he was sure she'd be able to hear him... and any others who came to her. The male would tilt his head to the side and let a short, awkward, almost cracking howl. With his ears ringing as they were he was having a hard time processing his own sound. Then the brute would let his head fall upon the earth. He wouldn't close his eyes though, the emerald orbs open and searching... especially for one wolf in particular.
