IS IT COLD IN THE WATER? | ???

[LUCINDER XIU]

EVERY OCCASION HAS ITS DISCUSSION—


he didn't protest as kiara dragged him along, merely stayed silent, casting one long look at his mother. please be safe, arrow.. i wouldn't know what to do without you. the words ran over and over in his head as he hoped and prayed that she would be safe.
nodding a quick thanks as she dropped him he immediately found a spot to watch over the camp, optics fixed on his mother. she shouted at mei something he couldn't hear and he then watched in horror as the houses began to fall. maw parting in a silent scream as his mother was carried along. he knew she couldn't swim.
kiara came over, gently trying to pull him away, but he ignored her, muscles straining to keep his body in place. he couldn't watch but this was like a firework display he couldn't keep his eyes off of. he watched in dismay his mother slam into a house, then get carried away after it, limp like a dead bird and floating away slowly.
"no.." his voice broke, then it seemed to be torn out of him. "NO! MOTHER!" it ended on a roar and his bones collapsed, feathers grew until the seagull launched himself off the hill, speeding towards the water with tears blinding his vision."mother come back.."
there! was it a paw he could see? no, just seaweed. feeling lightheaded he made his way back to the hill and promptly collapsed in a heap. so many losses. his mother, then his other mother. would death never end? would tanglewood ever be safe? last thoughts were a wish that he had told her he loved her more before unconsciousness hit and he passed out.
