Laoch padded through the darkness, his heart still heavy with the loss that he discovered in his last trip back to where his parents had raised him and his siblings for a good portion of their lives. He had been happy to go home after finding Arda and ensuring that she was fine, but that quickly changed once he found out his father had passed away in his absence. He sighed heavily and glanced up toward the sky. Cael's passing wasn't entirely surprising given his age and the various health issues he had accumulated, but not being there with him in his final days was really what was heartbreaking. Despite that though he had come back to Alacritis just a few days later, certain that he was needed here with Arda to help keep her safe. Now, however, he couldn't sleep and his insomnia had driven him out of his den and into the night. Suddenly he was jolted out of his wandering thoughts when he went to put down his forepaw and he felt nothing but thin air. His eyes went wide and his gaze shot down to see pitch blackness in front of him. He scrambled backward several feet, his heart pounding in his chest. If he had taken one more step he could have died. Taking a deep breath to steady himself he looked around and suddenly he noticed that there was a woman a short distance away from him with coloring that mimicked his own. He was all the sudden embarrassed by his own distracted mind and he gave her a sheepish smile. "Quite a drop, huh?" |
