backdated to the 8th.
Noah exempt from mandatory part, but may appear if wishes)
Iskata sat out in the back porch facing the sea, the cold winds ripping at her pelt as she raised her nose to the air and drew out a long demanding howl. The last call she'd ever make to her packmates as their Matriarch and council member. Her heart was breaking but there was little she could do to help that, she couldn't see, she was useless in a fight.. what kindof leader would she be. A Leader had to be strong, to show power, to be able to lead. She wouldn't force her pack to follow behind a blind crippled horse in the greatest race of ever, life. blood tinted tears stained her eyes as she settled down to wait, turned away the whole time from the entrance to the unofficial meeting place of the pack. They'd been her once so long ago when the pack was born.. and now one Phoenix would fade away while another would rise.
The gentle wash of the waves on the beach was so distant she could barely hear it, but it called to her. Perhaps now in some small bit she understood why Laruku wanted so to be alone. She knew that DaVinci and Skylar sat quietly on the porch already, they'd lead her out to the spot she sat, the quiet squeaks of Zana barely auditable over the winds.. but it pierced her heart knowing she'd never see her baby grow to be a woman.. never see those first steps. She'd already lost so much.. now she'd give it all way.
