She didn't enter the hotel often anymore, still convinced that it was ready to collapse at any moment. Terra had come in today, only to find the smell of death. Her body stiffened as she followed it. Who had died? Faces of different members she knew flashed through her mind, sorrowing over each one. She didn't want any of them to die. Turning her head she peered in, drawing a sharp breath. Strel? Terra changed into optime form smoothly. Her balance changed as the bones twisted in her body, spine lengthening. Hurriedly she moved forwards, fingers still forming as she reached his side.
It was strange, discovering that she was surprised by this. Terra knew that he had fallen. He was no longer the leader that she'd met when she'd first joined the pack. He was nothing but a lowly omega. It still surprised her to realize that he really was done. There was nothing left of him. His red hair had been changing colors, and his body had just been wasting away. Terra didn't think it had been an easy death. Chilled at the sight she turned away. She would have to tell someone, get them to help her remove the body. It couldn't stay in the hotel. Leaving the room Terra lifted her head, letting out a mournful howl. She hadn't expected it, but now she had to move on.
