A Wolf’s Thoughts

Yesterday, my pack went through a traumatic event. Planned. But still traumatic. For weeks, we had planned that night to be the start of something new. And finally, it had been executed.

 We began with Ashur and our Alpha, Aventurine literally biting at each other’s throats in a battle. I was alongside Aventurine, offering my support if he needed it. Fortunately, before any serious fighting happened, Ashur had to leave and so the fight ended with him retreating.

 Imediately after that, however, a crack louder than thunder had been heard reverberating between the mountains, soon followed by a deep rumble. An avalanche had happened, and was heading straight for the clearing in which the EmeraldMyst pack is situated. Panic broke loose(and it was some crazy hard-to-follow roleplay with everyone posting at the same time), and everyone scattered. Some remained behind in an attempt to help the others get free(I followed Aventurine, and ran with Amythist, who is pregnant with pups, until Kagetora was beginning to follow behind. And so I broke from Amy and cleared the way of snow for Kage to make his retreat easier).

Through this truggle, though, Zircon got caught in the avalanche and perished through a painful death. In real life, the player of Zircon is heading off to the military, and won’t be able to be with us much anymore. And so, he decided to kill of his character. That was quite the scene with him and Darklight.

Lazuli, Aventurines daughter, also died in the avalanch. Along with one of our other Battalions, Obsidian.

They’ll all be missed.

This whole thing took quite a while, also considering the fact that we started 2 hours later than we planned to. Afterwards, near our refuge on a cliff, several others got buried(MoonWeaver, I believe) and Aventurine. Aventurine broke some of his limbs, but survived.

With Aven out of commission, I wonder how things are going to turn out between Ashur and him. I might have to do some fighting in the near future…lol. I always get nervous when that happens.

So, with our packlands destroyed, we cannot live at home. And so, we are likely going to be staying with WhiteWolf and her pack, SpiritRivers. From what I understand so far, anyway.

If you’re interested, I can e-mail you the entire log of the roleplay. I saved it to my computer…and I would look at it again.
