Plot-Twist: The Fifth Disaster

[Briar]

As he shook his head the pup's vision was blurry. If it were a cartoon his eyes would've been spinning around in the sockets. Rising unsteadily to his feet to Volk's push, he staggered sideways, nearly falling before shaking his head again so hard his ears flopped as if they were in danger of being thrown off his very skull followed by the rest of his body in the manner of a dog. "Yeah...yeah I'm ok," A happy look crossed his face as he noticed Navea then it changed to confusion as he saw Navea's expression. Taking in the scene he noticed the other two wolves, one of which appeared to be hurt badly. He growled at Geneva's bark, a flash of anger in his light green eyes at the tone. Choosing to purposefully ignore Navea's look he nevertheless followed her at a slightly sullen trot, grumbling incoherently under his breath.

[Soul [BUSY]]

Soul[/u][/size]

Soul's ears perked up as the sounds of two other wolves could be heard over the howling wind. He hadn't even noticed them there. They both, small and young, looked somewhat terrified by the disaster. Who wouldn't be? Soul's throbbing head caused him to shut his eyes tightly. His ears slapped themselves on the back of his skull, trying to block everything out. His breathing became long deep struggling breaths, as he tried to keep the air circulating. The howling wind sent ripples through the small puddles, and sent dust and debris to the already huge collection.

[Aurora Borealis]

Aurora

She smiled sweetly toward Fae who was just finished explaining Hydrus their plan of action. Just to make things a little more clearer she added in a soft tone. "We need to cancel out the winds with our own." Her gaze shifted back toward the vortex, she too noticed it was growing slightly in force. Concern filled her icy blue eyes, "We shall strike now."

Winds grew behind her, she didn't want to start with out Soul, but if she didn't start now, who knows what might happen. Her head lifted toward the cloudy sky, a soft song lifted from her maw and resonated into the air. A soft luminous howl was sent air born, to call for her life mate Soul and to encourage her pack to start as well. The howl was long and deep chested, it chimed almost unrealistic like through the howling winds. The ones she started to create and mother nature's already started to clash, as her's wrapped around the vortex's.


Reiko

She watched as she saw Kamau made his entry, her white tipped tail waved as she welcomed him. She was glad that he could make it. She smiled at him quickly before her attention was dragged back to her Alfa. She was exited as his words mentioned her name, she said nothing, her body was already placed in preparations to the starting of their own attack. She stepped away a little from Kamau, she sensed no elemental powers in him, the last thing she wanted was to wound him. Her gazer shifted back to Kerrigon, she felt a spark of more enthusiasm, now not only did she want to help save the fire lands, but also impress Kerrigon.

[Kerrigon]

Geneva

The matron’s heart sank when she realized her silent observers were but mere children. No matter, they could still be useful. “Do you know who this wolf is?” She inquired, not unkindly, as she nudged Soul’s shoulder. Despite her stern demeanor, she did harbor a soft spot for the young. As long as they did not disturb her slumber, that was. “This is Soul, one of the most important wolves in Fallamora. If you two helped him, you would be heroes of the land!” Hopefully, kind encouragement would compel them to help her. If not… well, Geneva was not known for her explosive temper without reason.

As she waited for the pups’ replies, an indistinct figure through the wind and dust catch her eye. Was that another wolf?

Hydrus

The brute’s feather tufted ears swung forth in interest as he listened to Fae and Aurora’s hurried explanation of the plan. It sounded easy enough to execute, though complicated in theory. But not even Hydrus could pretend that he had any skill in the element department. It was a lucky day if he could get a leaf to flutter on a branch. But no matter, he would help his pack regardless. “Sounds good!” He chirped, narrowly ducking a javelin of a tree branch as it soared past him. He took up a position slightly behind Aurora’s left flank, adding what little power he could to the Lady of the Winds. A lower tenor voice entwined itself in the soprano clarity of her call.

[Soul [BUSY]]

Soul[/u][/size]

As the howls of his fellow pack mates reached his ears, Soul's breathing became fast-paced. Each breath shuddering in his frame. "Aurora..."[/color] He muttered. Her distinct call above all of the others worried him the most. She was not just calling an attack, she was calling, for him. Soul dropped his head, leaning on Geneva. All of his energy was gone, there was nothing he could do in this state.

Soul's unnatural azure eyes gazed at the ground. It seemed to tremble in fear at the twister raging through the lands... Soul's ears perked as he sensed Geneva's attention direct elsewhere. She seemed distracted by something, or someone.


Lenalee[/u][/size]

Lenalee shuddered as her breaths turned into harsh rasps. Her half-conscious mind went out to Kirabo. Lenalee felt poor Kira's pain, and fear. Lenalee desperately wished someone to comfort Kira, after all, she's still young... Very young. A faint whine escaped Lenalee's maw as pain coursed through her body, getting worse and worse by the second. As a small puddle of crimson liquid gathered beneath her, ice began to grow along side it, freezing the ground. The sheet growing bigger by the minute, a defense, even though Lenalee had no control over it.

[Briar]

Briar hung back a little ways, wary caution passing his visage as the female called out to him. This whole scene was unsettling to him. Being the age he was he had not quite grasped the seriousness of the situation and all that was going through his mind at the moment was why he couldn't just go back to his makeshift den and work on it. His big green eyes were locked on the wolf who was bleeding, a mixture of concern and disgust at the wound shimmering in them. He was smart enough to recognize it was a head wound when he saw one. A tiny paw lifted in the air as he hesitated for a moment before trotting past Navea over to the adult wolves. It wasn't that he didn't want to help but a certain memory of another wolf pretending to be hurt was surfacing in his mind, making him uncharacteristally cautious. His mother had tried to help that wolf and ended up nearly having a severed spine for her kindness. But this wolf, Soul, was hurt and he wasn't someone to leave another in need. Though the offer of being a hero appealed to the pup's ideals as well, his face lighting up. Casting a nervous glance at Soul, he shifted on his feet restlessly and straightened grinning a little. "Ok I'll help! I want to be a hero!" Briar yipped, russet red spattered tail wagging. Glancing over his shoulder at Navea he said aiming his words to the other pup, "Navea's gonna help too right?"

[Kirfir]

Ghost

When Lenalee didn't budge a silver of fear shot through the warrior. It only increased as the whine broke the air, just audible over the sounds of the rushing winds. What can we do...?He thought desperately. His gaze snapped down to the floor as he sighted the puddle of blood followed by the ice that was spreading like a winter death on the earth. Oh no...and all this time the winds were getting stronger and stronger, pummeling the tree. Their luck wouldn't hold out for so long. How could they get out of this alive? His first priority was to his pack, at this moment precisely making sure Lenalee would be alright."Kira, can you heal Lena? I'll try to stop the ice from spreading and see if I can form a shelter around us," Ghost knew the young wolf was only an apprentice but he had faith in her. "Do your best Kira that's all anyone can ask of you," He said softly, voice gentle. As he spoke he placed a paw in the ice. It immediately encased itself around it making the silver wolf shiver slightly. Fixing his gaze on the other brute, Iago if he'd heard right, he asked evenly in a calm voice, "Can you help us Iago? We need to make sure Lenalee stays awake. I don't know if I can do both at once."

[Kirfir]

Adding her voice to the group, the Arctic wolf raised her muzzle to the heavens. Another soprano, light and delicate but with firm strength sounded into the air. The winds fought i threatening to take it away but she fought just as hard to keep it aloft, carrying its song in the air as her own wind gathered up again. Soul, please come we need you. Fallamora needs you, Fae thought.

[Loki]

Loki
The beta lifted his muzzle to the air as his own powers added to the groups. The twister had slowed down considerably, but it was still not enough, not yet. He called out, his howl joining the others voices as they searched vocally for Soul. His different tones seemed to speak of what was going on, and a side note that sounded like a hurry up. He stopped after the first howl, concentrating every ounce of his strength on fighting he storm. He felt angry at it, angry for tearing up what every wolf had cherished so dearly, for taking life without a thought, thus devastating their home. The winds he controled continued to build up, each charging at the twister.

[Kerrigon]

Lester

Lester shook his foreleg as the ice began to claw up the appendage, and when that failed to work, he changed it to water with a flick of his element. Even through the cacophony of scents in the pummeling wind, he could smell the sickly sweet scent of Lenalee’s blood, growing more potent by the minute. His eyes flickered to Ghost as the silver brute addressed him. “Of course I can keep her awake,”[/b] he assured him, wondering exactly what this powerful tsar’s position was in the pack. Smoothly, he slide closer to the healer’s tiara, and placed a paw just beneath her ear. Water began to trickle from under his claws, trailing across her visage and down her neck. Hopefully the stream could be enough to keep the fatale conscious.

[Allure]

Allure

The she-devil's emotions were torn as the brute reassured her. A thick plume waved in a jovial fashion, however her silky onyx pelt stood slightly on end around her shoulder blades, trailing along he spine. Touch was not something she was use to, even if it were nothing more than a friendly bump to push her mentally along. A genuine canid smile traced her maw, perhaps the first grin that was not laced with darkness since her arrival in Fallamora.

The she-wolf's attentions shifted towards the newcomer, her crown tilted ever so slightly as she noticed that Rei seemed to know the painted male. Her curiosity soon faded as her interest fell back to the task at paw. Firey globes watched the magic Kar was performing with such skill. Her doubts still pulled at her mind teasingly as her gaze transferred to Kerrigon and Reiko. Her head bobbed as a sign as she was ready...rather as ready as she would ever be without any experience.

Trinity

Icey gems focused upon the group before she decided it was her turn to join in the serenade. A blue hued digit lived to the sky, whtie curtains closing over oculars. Twin soldiers fastened themselves to her skull as a soft song was released to the atmosphere in partnership with her family. An eery glow seeped from under her lids, blue lanterns summoning the winds to her. A gentle yet powerful auro surrounded the white fae, her soft pelt thrashing wildly as she began her part in fighting Mother Nature's minion.

Daiki

Suddenly Daiki woke with a start, his body was jolted upward upon is haunches. The warmth that had been so comforting during his slumber was replaced with emptiness wreaking havoc on the brute's senses. A pair of emeralds snapped around the enclosure. Pointed pyramids stood at attention as his attention was drawn towards the passageway from the stone hut into the disaster itself. His muscular body was lifted upon massive paws which drew him closer to the exit. Surprisingly his short rest was qute helpful in regaining his strength. A gruff voice was squeezed outward, WaterSinger?

Kamau

Mahogany oculars surveyed the group surrounding the painted fae curiously. This must be the fire pack she had mentioned. His white tipped tail dusted the air in response to Reiko's, large rounded auds sitting forward upon his broad skull. Attempting to stay out of the group's way lengthy limbs back tracked several steps. Dual nasals expanding as the strong wind forced a multitude of scents within them.

Kirabo

Round radars swiveled as Ghost's plea radiated. Her circular oculars were attached firmly to Lenalee and the injury she had sustained. Without a verbal answer slender limbs drew Kira closer to the fallen she-wolf. Her skull lowered upon a thin neck as she investigated the wound more closely. Her crown titled to the left, brow furrowing, and orbs narrowing as deep thought filled her mind. Nasals flared, her maw pulling her attention to the surrounding woods. Quickly pistons engaged sendng her caterpaulting into the shadows. After only a short moment she pranced back to the scene, limbs muddy from her venture into a small vernal pool that was formed nearby.

Within her maw gently grasped was a combination of cattail, thistle, and two cone flower. By Lenalee's side the flora was placed as the young fae dropped to her haunches. Gently her ivory fangs pulled the flower from the thisle sprinkling the petals upon the wound. Next she lay the cattail along Lenalee's side, with the chocolate bloom straight over the wound. Ebony claws gently dug into the flower causing the pollen to form a glitter over the injury. To top off the dressing a purple cone flower sat upon the puncture, hiding evidence of the life threatening hole. The second flower was then carried towards the older female's maw. Kirabo lightly placed it upon the injured healer's tongue.

It was rare for the yearling to concentrate, she seemed to be in her own world without a notice of what was going on around her. Her moist nose gently touched the protective flower upon Lenalee's side, curtains closing tightly around her oculars. A soft voice murmered to herself, barely audible. The echinacea cone flower began to glow as Kirabo prayed for the mentor to be safe.

Navea

A puppish head cocked slightly, red auds standing at their full height. Sky blue orbs shifted between Geneva and Soul multiple times before a decision was made. Slender limbs pushed Navea into a trot closer to the group, her head twisting to watch Briar as she passed. I'll help too. Not to be a hero just because I want to be nice. A pink tongue slipped from her maw at the fellow youngster teasing in a playful fashion. Tiny paws bounced her to the injured mascu. What can we do?

[Geneva]

Geneva

The dowager’s attention flickered from the youngster to Soul for a brief moment as a single, breathless word from his maw reached her ears. Aurora. It was then she heard it, over the wind, the choir created by the Wind Tribe, summoning their lost prince to his kingdom. Good. Perhaps it will encourage him. Indeed, this seemed to be the case as more of his mass shifted to her shoulder, using her for leverage. Ocher eyes snapped back to the pair of rapscallions before her, and she couldn’t help but allow a faint smile to escape as she overheard their good-natured bickering. “Either way, you shall both be heroes if you help him! Now, come beside me and help me support his weight. It’s far too much for an old-timer like myself.” Of course, she did not consider herself an old-timer, though it was doubtless these two would. Nevertheless, the air elemental was larger than herself, and difficult to support in the relentless wind.

[Briar]

Grinning sheepishly at Navea, the skinny pup rolled his eyes. His tail was on overdrive like a fly on speed, a good sign indeed for all concerned. Moving closer to Soul, he looked uncertain at what to do for a moment before fixing his attention on the wolf and nudged his leg with a surprisingly gentle manner. "Hey wake up mister,"He growled. In the wind his voice still so young and high managed to break through the air like a small but definite burning light in the dark. Beneath his tiny paws the earth was unsteady. Struggling to find footing, he was slipping as the ground began to erode. He hadn't realized it but the wind was eating at the earth while he had been trying to assist, making it unsteady.

[Kerrigon]

Kerrigon

Once confirmation from his family was received, Kerrigon closed his eyes and reached deep into the reservoirs of his power. Dimly, as though he were experiencing all through a deep fog, he was aware of Kar pushing away the darkness, the approach of another, the calls of the Wind Tribe as they summoned Soul home…. Gradually, all this ceased to hold meaning as he found the crux of his fortitude, the fire of his mind, and beckoned it to him.

All of a sudden, the flames that had been smoldering at his claws roared to life in a scorching inferno, engulfing his entire frame with a blaze of fire and crimson sparks. The Lord of Fire unveiled his orbs, which had become completely eclipsed by fiery crimson. It was as if a different tsar had assumed his place, one not of this world. With a bass how, he threw his crown back as the first bolt of electricity from the heavens struck his muzzle. A shudder passed through his frame, and a few seconds later, the bolt darted from to Reiko. But still, he glowed brighter, the power of the storm building within him as bolt after bolt began to strike his body in a torrent of light, drawn to him like gnats to a gas lamp.

[Kirfir]

Kar

Out of the corner of his eye he saw not Kerrigon standing there but a creature of pure, raw unbridled energy and fury. It was truly a force to be reckoned with, this...blazing creature that could have come from the depths of hell itself. A tilt of his head was offered, a barely distinguishable nod of his muzzle before returning to the task at hand. Kerrigon's words floated back to him, so we can see ourselves and other wolves... An amused barotone chuckle filtered through the air, seeming to echo around the vicinity melding into the very darkness Kar was in the process of herding to allow his pack members full berth, unhindered from the danger of potentionally injuring others that they otherwise could not have seen. Kerrigon acted as a steadfast repellant himself if anything. Padding forwards so he was partially hidden in the shadows, the large brute's eyes closed. Let's see if he could take this a little further.

In the blink of an eye the black wolf seemed to disperse, first becoming blurry like a reflection in the water then fading out altogether to disappear into the night itself. Pure black poisoned the piercing cold blues of his irises, leaving nothing but an endless oblivion to stare into. Just as quickly as the darkness went it started to crawl back to his packmates at startling speed like deformed minions scurrying back to their master. Whether this was because Kar lost control or his own doing it was impossible to tell. The flash of ivory that shone in night could have been a wicked grin if one peered closely enough and the momentary strange gleam of white where his eyes should have been glittered eerily.
