His tears wet her fur, and she nuzzled his shoulder as he clung to her. His words brought a strangled sound from her throat. ?Ah, Taurig, what ails me would have come anyways. A great deal happened while you were away. Challenges? Valhalla just couldn?t catch a break. If it wasn?t one thing, it was another.? And I thought I could protect it and keep it safe? Her rump hit the ground as she sighed. First, a white female from Glaciem challenged Chrysanthe for Valhalla; she won. So? I rebuilt it and reclaimed the old territory. Things went well for a while? Then an earthquake shook up the land. I managed to secure a peace treaty with Sendoa Armada afterward, in return for healing her injured paw. There are underground lands opened up by the quake, I had been patrolling an underground lava river and encountered her there.. Not long after that? an epidemic hit Alacritia?? Her lips twisted, as though a sour taste has struck her tongue. Then continued. ?Valhalla has fallen. Viridiana Sovari challenged for it, not days after she brought us the cure for the epidemic. I was burying our dead when the challenge came. That? female? I don?t know what was going on in her head, but she wasn?t fighting as though it was a challenge. She seemed more interested in spreading my insides far and wide. She failed, in that at least. I failed to protect my pack, and keep my family?s home.? Her sighted eyes rose to regard his milky, unseeing ones. ?From what Surreal?s companion told us after Surreal dragged me off to Atlantis Island, Viridiana tossed Valhalla away to someone else like a bone, instead of staying to rule it. It?s passed through that ones paws, and to another. It?s clear she didn?t even want the pack, so why challenge for it in the first place?? Surreal had come to see her after running into Rune, and told her the relation. Erani remembered Rune; a polite, if surly male who was clearly in love with his mate, Alamea. She had seen them off when they had left to make their own way in the world. She was glad to hear they had their own pack, and regretted not going to see their daughter yet. Her eyes dropped to the ground. ?Things are looking up, these days, however. Falk and Surreal have mated; you have a Nephew and two nieces to meet. Regulus, Faite, and Zuriel. Surreal plans to rebuild the pack once more?? There was a faint note of hope in her voice. She wanted her daughter to succeed in these plans, and to succeed in keeping the pack safe and sound. Quietly, she leaned against her adoptive son. ?I?ve been worried for you. Isardis is gone from the land, by the way.? Walk ---- "Speak" ---- "Hear" ---- Think |
