" I'm ready" Hawthorne nodded. He easily stayed upright, walking carefully along the wet, slippery rocks. His boots had enough grip to keep him from sliding. He did notice Arkady slipping and wondered if he should offer to help her somehow. But, he felt that she was okay. Hawthorne saw the water fall, not taking the time to admire it's beauty. He walked through it and waited for her on the other side. While he was waiting, he looked around at the forest. This wasnt his first trip to the Aboveworld. The first thing he noticed was the faint smell of smoke in the air.

Alex was about to go after Donatello and Spencer when the murmuring of Basil and Spencer talking met her ears. She couldn't hear what they were saying, but she knew they were talking. And judging by the tones, it was a delicate subject. She figured it would be best to stay out of it. Just as she was about to start moving, she noticed something out of the corner of her eye. Hawthorn. Shoot! thinks Alex. Hide! If he sees me, I doubt he'd be keeping it a secret from Mum and Dad... Alex quickly ducks behind some boulders, her eyes darting around for a way to follow Don and Spencer without being seen.

Soren furrowed his eyebrows, clearly not believing her. Especially as she fought off her tears. "That's... not quite the truth, is it..?" His absently cheery expression had faded once he spoke again, stepping closer to his sister. "... Don't worry. If that's what you say, then I won't force you to tell me something you don't want to. But do know that you don't have to hide your problems; even the smallest things are important." He tried to give some sort of way of affirming that he was there for her. He smiled slightly, but his expression held more of a solemn look. He nodded, turning his attention back to the forest, knowing it'd be unfortunate to fall behind.
A quick motion in the corner of his eye made him realise that Alexandria had suddenly hidden, and he furrowed his eyebrows, confused as to why she wasn't following Don and Spencer. Feeling a horrible sensation on the back of his neck made him turn around, and he looked up. Despite how dark it was, he could see silhouettes at the opening of the waterfall, and one of them he quickly picked up on as being their oldest brother. He tensed up, paused briefly, before cursing under his breath and quickly looking for a place out of sight. "Oh, this could... this isn't good," he muttered, suddenly confident that this day was cursed in some way. He grabbed Basil's wrist, pulling her to a place to hide from obvious sight and kneeling down. He ducked to an area nearby the boulders their youngest sibling hid behind, because he was not about to lose track of Alex.
I'm dead. I'm definitely dead. His mind was running over many thoughts, and he closed his wings in closer to himself, despite their objections. The cold had settled into them and made them not want to move so much. He was thankful he realised that Alex had hidden, because at least now he had a moment to think of how to possibly explain to Hawthorne what was going on, even if his thoughts were a jumbled, impossible mess. It'd be easy to hide in the forest... He hesitated, glancing at Basil then off towards where Alex was. He raised a hand, biting his knuckle, scanning the area. He could see a path that'd probably be mostly hidden from the mouth of the waterfall, but he wasn't confident if it was wise to run. It'd be unfathomably easy to get lost in the forest, just as easy as it'd be to hide in it.

Arkady walked through the cold wall of water and felt a jolt of energy run up her spine as she stood by Hawthorne. Her pelt was soaked and she shook the water off of herself. The smell of smoke hit her and she scrunched up her nose. Fire. It was clear even at night from the light coming from the forest in the distance and the black cloud hanging above the trees. She could now clearly pick up the 3 royals' scent along with 2 other Quells'. Her vision was razor sharp as she looked around at the area and she had her claws out. She felt a tug in the pit of her stomach telling her to go into that forest and help the Howlers. It's just that side of you, and nothing more. Arkady had lived with the Howlers when she was younger for quite some time. Many of them were accepting of the fact that she was a mix but the alpha feared that she would be hunted down by the other Howlers who were against her kind. After his warning, she had decided she would go underground. Arkady knew that there they wouldn't be able to tell what she was unlike how the Howlers could sense anything. She wondered if that alpha was still alive and was still leading the group. Memories of the camp came back to her and a part of her longed for the family bond they all shared. "Hawthorne…" Her voice was low and her muscles were tense and clear under her white fur.

Donatello & Spencer | Forest

As a clouded leopard, Spencer usually had excellent vision. Due to the fire however, it was difficult to see through the smoke that spread through the forest. Although it would've been a lot easier to climb up trees and spot the fire from afar, Donnie had advised that that wouldn't be a wise choice seeing that smoke was more dense the higher up you were. So that left Spencer prowling along the ground and searching for Howlers while Donnie kept close and looked for any signs of where the fire was.

Basil wouldn't quite meet Soren's eyes as he guessed she wasn't telling the whole truth. She felt terrible about lying to her brother, but she was sure he wouldn't understand how she felt. But, she was thankful for his kindness. Soren always had her back, no matter what. Basil smiled faintly back at him, " Thanks" She said quietly. Basil looked back at the forest, hoping to spot Alex. She wanted to keep an eye on the youngest sibling. A nervous feeling settled in her stomach when she didn't spot her sister. As Soren grabbed Basil's wrist and dragged her over to a hiding spot, she bit her lip to keep for letting out a nervous squeak. " What is it? Howlers?" She whispered, looking around worriedly. Her heart pounded wildly in her ears as she peeked from around the rock she was hiding behind. Hawthorne was standing at the waterfall with.. a wolf Howler? Basil looked back at Soren, worried and a little confused. At first she was worried about him catching the five of them out here, but something else bothered her more. What was their older brother doing with a Howler? It was well known that Hawthorne hated Howlers more than most Quell did.

Hawthorne wiped the water from his eyes, surveying the forest. A prickly feeling on the back of his neck told him that they weren't alone. The captain's instincts were almost never wrong. Instinctively, he drew his sword and edged a little closer to Arkady to protect her in case any Howlers were near. He seemed to forget that she had a powerful Howler side. Hearing Arkady's low growl, he turned a bit to look at her " Who's out there?" Hawthorne asked lowly. He prayed that it wasn't the Howlers, they weren't prepared for an attack from the entire Howler pack. For one, he was only wearing his pajamas, not his armor. And secondly, he wasn't sure how well Arkady could fight. Hawthorne was one of the best fighters in Solodin, but he couldnt take on an entire party of Howlers alone.

Alex peers out from behind her boulder, muffling a squeak at the sight of a big wolf next to her oldest brother. She flinches when he speaks and partially removes his sword from its place. She knows she should go out, but if she does she'll get in trouble. She squeezes her eyes shut and stays hidden.

"Three of your siblings, two other Quell, and Howlers in the forest." The scent was strong and mixed in it was fear. She suspected that it was more directed towards her and Arkady glanced towards the boulder where the smell was coming from. They probably won't come out until you're gone. She lowered her voice and looked up at Hawthorne. "They're behind the boulder. I'll be back." Arkady jumped over the water and darted into the woods. She could hear the wildlife fleeing the forest and her heart ached for the Howlers. One thing she remembered was that they all lived in a camp together like a big family. Arkady could only hope that they noticed the flames and got out of there before getting hurt.

Hawthorne nodded, relived that his siblings were nearby. Though, he couldn't fathom who the other two Quell were. If Hawthorne wasn't so worried, he would have scolded his siblings and dragged them home right then. But, he saw Arkady dash off, " Arkady? Arkady wait!" He called, worried for her safety, " Please! " Hawthorne nearly ran after her, but he hesitated. He had no right to stop her. Instead, he turned back to the boulder. Frowning deeply, he strode over " Alex, Basil, Soren, get out here. Now" Hawthorne said in a tone that wasn't going to be argued with.
