Start Again

They'd walked for a long time, trailing behind the suspicious characters that had visited their home. She would have rather stayed home and faced Vili's wrath, she knew what he was capable of, what damage he was willing to do. But these wolves? They were strange brutes, she didn't know how far they would go in punishing her or her brother, what they really wanted with their cousins and step siblings. It was a mystery, and the tri shaded lass did not enjoy not knowing things. However, Ullr had wanted to go, so she followed. He couldn't be left alone, there was too much risk. He was all she had, and leaving him was not an option she was going to take. Broad alabaster paws struck the snow coated terra with eerie silence, keen cerulean optics watching the receding tails of those they were following.
Ullr was moving slower and slower as time went on, his breath escaping him in wheezes that had taken on a wet taint. He was sick, he shouldn't be travelling. One silver shoulder braced against his for support, though he was a few inches taller than she. No big deal, she could carry his weight like this no problem. Her ebony plume trailed at her hocks, tall onyx audits perked for sounds coming from the group up ahead. They must not know they were there, not yet. This was a big mistake, soon Ullr would see that this was dangerous and she would be able to bring him back home. Home was safe, she knew home. She knew where to hide Ullr when Vili was angry, she knew where the rabbits denned even when they moved, she knew what to do there. Here? This strange land? She knew nothing, she was useless, vulnerable, at the mercy of these brutes who claimed to be their cousins. No, that was not good, not good at all.
With a sudden burst of speed her scrawny wreck of a brother bolted forward eagerly, catching up bit by bit to the group. Adrenaline surged through her veins in an instant, hackles rising at her shoulders as she started charging after him like a hellhound. She would protect him, even if he was being an idiot and getting himself into situations like that. He could never go where she couldn't follow, she would follow him into the darkest corners and the hottest deserts. He needed her protection, whether he knew it or not. Skidding to a stop beside her brother, she dropped onto the snow, steel cords of muscle tense and at the ready. She could smell her brother's fear, but she would protect him, it was okay. Her obsidian muzzle nuzzled beneath his jaw reassuringly, and her flank brushed against his soothingly. He had nothing to worry about, because his sister was always going to be there to protect him.
Her brother's quiet vocals entered her ears, and she snorted quietly. She didn't care, it wasn't anything special, really. Home was better, it was safer- to her. Audits would flicker absently as part of her silent response, while she regarded the group. A bloodied and exhausted looking wolf from earlier lay on the snow, a small pup she didn't recognize easing closer to tend to him. The rest of those who had abandoned their home were at ease, it seemed, wandering about and familiarizing themselves with everything. She wouldn't do that, there was no point. They were going home soon anyways.
