Description
Aja’s head turned in unison with those gathered as a booming voice broke through the outpost. It was a warning, a promise rather that any step closer into this wolf’s space would not be tolerated. It wasn’t any of her business but curiosity peaked as Aja wondered why the wolf protested the aid of the medics and wolves gathered for assistance. But than again their body didn’t appear to be damaged enough to warrant the small crowd that had gathered. Strange. She thought, but just as the she wolf had decided to turn away the crowd parted just enough for her to see through. The wolf wasn’t rejecting help for themself but rather…someone else that lied motionless behind them. The smell and sight of the blood pooling around the downed wolf’s body was alarming, and the aids looked worriedly between themselves though none stepped closer.

Vektreni perhaps. Aja thought silently, knowing the pack wasn’t necessarily the most outgoing and likely didn’t trust anyone but their own. The Vektren boy she’d met had been different to her in that regard, though even he had been a bit rough at first she remembered fondly.

Ophion. Her eyes shot back to the large bleeding body and focused on the features; now that she was paying attention it was all too clear who was laying there motionless.

“Ophion?” Aja questioned weakly as she took the smallest step forward before stopping herself. Even without the protective figure she could not approach him so readily as if she was familiar with and cared for him even though that was the truth. She wouldn’t risk getting him into trouble despite how much she wanted to know what had happened and if he would be okay. He was so still her mind couldn’t help but whisper worriedly. Is he dead?

”No…” She whined. Not wanting to think that the strong, charming wolf she’d fought alongside and shared a heartfelt moment with was dead. Her attention was so focused on the scene that she hadn’t noticed the stirring of her Hera as the dark wolf regained her footing and witnessed the small voice her sister tried to surpress. Ophion? Hera asked silently. Who was that? The she wolf wondered as her eyes squinted to focus on the scene that had her younger sister so distracted. Easily she identified the mistress Nimh, as she glared threateningly at any that strayed to close to a wolf at her feet. Hera didn’t recognize the pelt but the bit of scent that managed to escape the stench of blood was vaguely familiar.

If her memory served right he was likely on the battlefield as Vektren and Aryn combined to defeat one of the Queen’s generals and forces. But that was not truly what she remembered the scent from, rather it had lightly clung to Aja’s pelt as they returned home. Hera didn’t question then, and the herbs dulling her sense and pain didn’t allow her to question now. However it seemed it would be in her family’s best interest to remember this…

Ophion.
