It was difficult to trudge through the harsh, powerful winds, intent on keeping her from reaching her destination - wherever it was. She could hear a noise behind her, just detectable underneath the sounds of the howling winds, and she turned, squinting; it was a vague shape, with the coloration of Hotaru...

"Hotaru?" she asked, not loud enough for whoever it was to hear - as they approached her, though, she could see that it was Adrian, Hotaru's brother. His larger build and more muscled appearance gave him away. "Adrian!" she yelled; she would not bother to tell him to return inside, for she knew that two noses and four eyes were better than a single wolf searching in the storm. "Help me find the others!"

She padded forward, slightly faster pace than usual, attempting to carefully discern who was left. A white shape could be seen in the distance, just on the fringes of her vision - drawing closer, she could see it was Honrin, frantically attempting to save his bee hives.

"Honrin!" she yelled, her voice barely audible over the winds. She was about to tell him to get inside the shop, but the words died in her throat - he had inherited the stubbornness of Jace, that much she knew. Without a word, she leaned next to him, pushing the wooden structure until finally, it moved; they pushed it and pushed it, dragging it safely into one of the shops.

Exhausted by the effort but determined to keep moving, a sudden thought struck Skye - Hotaru couldn't see. Her normal means of getting around through smell and hearing would be useless in the harsh winds. "Come on - we have to get Hotaru!" Skye yelled, making her way towards the blind woman's home.
