FREEDOM (Oh, and a little drowning)

If it wasn't one thing it was another and for the first time in his life the adolescent felt bummed. He and Isis had made all these sick plans and plots for world domination and never ending fun when his leg finally healed but it seemed that as soon as it had she had fallen ill and then he had been forced to stay inside again. First it had been because of his fathers stupid 'quarantine' and then simply because he hadn't wanted to leave his sisters side. She had been so good about keeping him company while his leg had been broken and he had felt obligated to do the same. So he had stayed with her, day in and day out. Allowing his parents to gather herbs and do things while he focused on trying to keep her spirited up. Laughter was the best medicine after all... Right? He sighed, head hung as he shambled towards the lake. His father had told him to go get Isis some water and though he wasn't mad about having to do it everything was weighing heavily down on the boy. He had heard his parents talking, he had heard that his dad was mad at Erani... How could he be mad at Erani? To add to it he had heard them talking about maybe going to another pack and leaving Valhalla. He didn't want to leave Valhalla, all his friends were here. Though that surmounted to all of Alpine and Surreal really since Isis would be coming with them. Man... That wasn't a lot of people he knew! His head lifted and for a moment and once again sighed. Man he was BUMMED. Icy paws slumped through the snow, shoulders rolling under thick ruff as orange eyes studied the frozen landscape. But despite the snow it was a fairly warm day out, the sun was shining, the birds were singing. Any other day he would have been laughing and prancing but his leg still felt a bit off, pressure building where the bone had broken every time he put weird down on it. He didn't want to push his luck just yet. So he walked at a slow and leisurely pace to the lake, taking in the sights and sounds without too many worries. Isis was healthy after all if not a little under the weather still. But whatever herbs his dad had given her seemed to be working well enough. He turned a corner around a tree to straighten his path to the lake, the surprisingly unfrozen waters glittering against the snow dusted shores, when he heard the shriek. But it wasn't just a random unknown cry for help no, this one called for a name. Should he go? Yes. A knight would go, a warrior would go and that was what he was. Still gangly limbs would propel him forward, sprinting without thinking towards the lake. He would jump, flinging himself into the icy waters without a second thought as he saw the small form paddling away like crazy closer to the middle of the lake. His head went under as he hit the water and immediately he gasped as the cold water closed in around him. He broke then surface a second later, coughing and spluttering but he was swimming already, paddling easily despite the cold weighting heavily down on his limbs. It took him probably far too long to get there but as soon as he did he would attempt to reach out and grab at her before starting back to shore. At this point he couldn't say anything, already pretty breathless so hopefully she wouldn't freak out and make this hard on both of them. Speech |
