The Eye of the Storm[event thread]

She had been enjoying a quiet conversation with Bronze when the storm had started. Steel was resting peacefully beside her and the atmosphere remained serene despite the rain. All was great until the thunder boomed and the clouds broke their silence. The rain fell at an alarming speed, followed by the wind that swept the storm up and around the springs. It sounded horrible and Silent knew that it would get worse. Without her having to say it, the rain began to rise on top of the ground. Due to its speed, the forest was unable to absorb all of the needed water. Silent saw it approaching her den's entrance and the air caught in her throat. Black ears flattened against her skull and she looked over to Bronze with a timid facial expression. "Bronze, we must move to higher ground, unless we wish to not make it to morning." She nudged Steel's sleeping form and urged him in words. "Baby, let's get up. It's time to go exploring." She licked his forehead before scooping him up in her jaws. Slowly, she pushed herself onto her black paws and stood on aching joints. Silent didn't complain as she looked at Bronze to make sure he was doing the same. A few steps took her towards the front of their den and she began to walk through the rising waters. The storm she stepped into was horrible. Cold water came from the sky, immediately soaking her sleek, black coat. With the wind tossing everything in sight around her and Steel's weight, she bowed her head against Nature's tantrum and continued to walk towards higher ground. Song's call, mixed with Dhiren's, hit the air and even though it was temporary, Silent figured out where they were. She looked for Bronze and felt his frame next to hers as she took the slow steps needed to survive the oncoming tides. Speech |
