I saw a black branch with blood that kept drippin'

Gabe r here. :] Maybe Rikka can pass out and we can have our follow-up thread Erin?

Even if Gabriel had been much further away, he would have heard Halo’s very wolfish cry as it reached long and far over the dark forests. His ears swiveled to a crown atop his head and recognizing the summon as one desperate and needing, his skin tightened, drawing the fur along his neck and shoulders high, turning his body into a mass of black tipped flame. The Aquila hesitated only long enough to return the call, and then began running. His paws thundered against cold snow and solid ground, barreling the massive coy-wolf towards his niece’s summons. The closer he got, the more doubt rose in his chest. When blood came to his nose, his lips pulled back and his head lowered, turning Gabriel into a charging monster.

Rikka’s scent made iron sink in his stomach, and he saw her body not long after. On the ground, covered in blood, crumpled in a heap. Something in his chest tightened and he found his heart fluttering like a bird. Haku’s scent. Oh if that bastard had…the thought was pushed aside and he came to her, protectively stepping one leg over her body as if to shield her further. He could barely see—his eyes were burning embers and his field of vision had narrowed to two pinpricks. Were he not aware of his sister’s body below him, he might have followed after Halo’s war cry and chased Haku down then and there.
