Give Me a Juggernaut Heart

Something was terribly wrong. She could feel it. Over the past few days the maiden had sensed that something was not quite right in the air, as if every surface held a lingering smell of decay. Her only thought was that a strain of disease must have found its way into the territory. Hackles raised immediately as a young voice could be heard calling out in distress. The voice was saturated in pain and fear, sending a spark of panic into Adelaide's veins. Was this illness or injury? Soon after, a throaty howl could be heard. Her cautious run turned into a sprint, clearing the distance in record time as adrenaline began pounding into her heart. She nearly stumbled upon the two wolves in her panic, blue eyes flying from the woman to the pup. It was clearly the child that had been affected, seeing that she was moving blindly about with tears of blood trickling from her eyes. Adelaide felt her throat convulse with worry. Her steps were no longer hesitant as she rushed to her side. "Valeriya? Can you hear me?" as the maiden spoke, she sniffed at the child in an attempt to make a diagnosis. There was surely a smell of disease about her, but not one she recognized. This could end badly. Still she put on a smile, though the pup could not see it. Stay positive, she thought. "My name is Adelaide," she whispered, keeping her tone light. No time would be wasted on introductions, but she wanted Valeriya to feel safe. "I am a very experienced healer. You can trust me, young lady. Everything is going to be alright." Her words did not betray her. They were steady and sure. But underneath, a sea of uncertainties began to churn. What could cure this ailment? Hopefully Maximous would arrive soon. And Raisa too. "Do you know where your mother is, little one? Do you know what happened?" Walk. "Talk." Think. |
