Cormalin |
The day was serene, if a bit cloudy, and yet, Cormalin couldn?t seem to relax. Something told him that a bad thing was going to happen. He just couldn?t pinpoint it. It made his skin itch, and his fur rise along the back and shoulders. Not another storm, Luna?s teeth, please don?t let it be another one. No. It was worse. A ghastly rumble started up. Not above him, but below his paws. And the earth began to quiver, like Obsidian?s hide when a fly landed on it. But worse. The older male staggered for balance as the shaking intensified. His eyes turned, seeing doubles of everything as the ground tossed and heaved like a restless sleeper. They landed on the lake, and in a moment of clarity, he saw the water, surface choppy, shaking and sloshing over the shore. He heard a shout nearby, and his head whipped around. A young male stood frozen amidst the shaking. Erani had described this one to Cormalin, but in all the shaking, Cormalin took a moment to recall the name and put it to the boy?s face. ?Quintus!? Baritone voice called out, trying to be heard over the roar of the enraged earth. ?Quintus, lie on your belly! He followed his own advice, crawling toward the male. It was easier than trying to move on his paws. ?Crawl to me!? He called, hoping the young male would hear and obey. |

Cormalin |
Cormalin was relieved when Quintus began to blindly follow his voice, and called out again to the boy over the roaring fury of earth quaking and grating against itself below them. ?Good man!? He encouraged, until Quintus bumped into his side. Cormalin turned then, attempting to wrap his larger frame around Quintus?, to shield the young wolf from any falling branches that might have been shaken free of their trees, one paw draping over the male?s shoulders while he pressed his head over the others. It seemed as though the shaking went on for hours, but really, it was only several minutes. Everything held in limbo; one terrifyingly long timeframe. Until finally, the earth began to slowly cease her shaking rage. The roar died to a deep, far away rumble, like thunder on the horizon, until? Silence surrounded them. Not a bird sang, not a cricket chirped. There was only the quick breathing of the two wolves, and the heavy, galloping thunder of their heartbeats. Cormalin slowly lifted his head, looking around at the world. Several trees were uprooted, roots clawing at the air like a macabre forest. The lake had settled, waves no longer slashing at the shore like trapped wildcats. He looked down at Quintus, checking the young wolf over for damage. ?Are you alright, Quintus?? Luna, but he was shaking inside. He didn?t allow the shaking to spread to his body, instead forcing the fear aside to a compartment of his brain, to be dealt with on his own time. Mismatched blue and gold gaze was concerned. He was sure his own limbs would feel like water once he deigned to stand up. |

Cormalin |
Cautiously, Cormalin sat up as Quintus shakily pronounced that he was alright. His front legs did indeed feel as though they were made of water. They shook slightly, until he set them more firmly beneath himself. Was he ashamed of being scared? No. Fear was a smart emotion. To have absolutely no fear in the face of nature?s wrath was foolish. ?It?s alright to be scared. I am too. And I?m a veteran warrior.? He gave the boy a faint smile, nodding at the thanks. As Quintus asked who he was, Cormalin chuckled. ?I?m Cormalin, and, through Erani, I?m your great Uncle.? Slowly, he rose to his fours, legs shaking slightly until he walked it off a bit. Mismatched blue and gold eyes gazed around at the carnage of trees. ?Hm, some of these have made good dens. A blessing within a moment of terror, eh?? He cast a glance to Quintus, before a faint rumble started beneath their paws again. He quickly lowered himself. This shaking wasn?t anywhere near as bad, but? He didn?t like earthquakes. |
