The rapids had flooded at least three feet, and it was time for Abaven to leave, without looking back. Most of the group had been assembled and were following her to safety. Bass had trusted their lives into her hands. A strong howl would sound from inky lips as she found herself at the edge of the flooded riverbank, wading knee-deep into the cold water. It sent shivers up her spine, but she did not care; only for the safety of her pack, her family. Again, her voice would sound from inky lips as she scanned her group for any injuries thus far or any missing. "We have to swim across the rapids! The waters have already risen high enough that we shouldn't have to worry about the sharp rocks at the bed! But we have to work against the current!" Her bodice was sodden, and she looked nothing of what she appeared to be normally, but she would not let that hinder her. She was Harmony Destruction, and she would die for her family. Her jaws were sore from the yelling, but she had to be heard above the torrent. "We will swim as a group! The strongest will swim on the outside, and the weaker and injured will swim on the inside! We will have to work hard to beat the current and make it to the caverns!" Her legs would stride forward, and press into the water, as she kicked hard against the current and torrent. Her tail floated behind her, as mismatched orbs would seek the coming of her group. All they had to do was swim against the tributaries of the rapids and they would be on the other side, outside of the flooding lands to escape to higher grounds.
