THE DARKNESS COMES

Athena was worn out, but in the very best of ways. There was nothing like a good spar to really work her muscles and make her feel alive. She looked around at her pack members, proud of their work and their skills, no matter the outcome of their spars. But her happiness was shortlived as a distant voice caught her attention, the tone of it alone making her fur stand on end and her gaze to dart in its direction. "Roman?" she questioned, her tone giving away her concern. Her ears flicked back with worry. She looked to her mate, quietly telling him, "Vereux, take Haruka and the others back home. I'll check and make sure everything is okay." She turned her gaze back to Bass, to explain her suddenly running off, but she saw a similar worry in his gaze. Athena remembered Roman mentioning knowing Bass the last time they spoke and she nodded toward the Regium territory. "Come with me?" she asked quickly before taking off at a full run, not wanting to waste any more time. She didn't wait to see if Bass followed her or not. If he did fine, if not, that was fine too. Athena crossed the Regium border without hesitation, following the scents till the found the group gathered around what she assumed was Roman's den. She saw Drashiel and Azalea there, glad that someone had been closer to check on her half-sister sooner. She slowed to a halt, worry sinking deep in her gut as she noticed the blood tainting the air. She came up alongside Azalea just in time to hear Roman and her companion's exchange of words. Dead? Athena peered breifly into the deen, realizing very quickly what had happened before taking a step back again. Athena's head dipped with sadness, turning her head away. She and Roman were very alike in the way that they did not want to show themselves in moments of weakness so she tried her best to keep her distance but still be there for her sister in her time of need.
