Mandragoro

When Mandragoro had woken up for the day, he'd expected to meet up with the rest of his family and encourage the start of a hunt, or maybe a patrol around the territory to secure the boards. What he hadn't suspected was to find his young sister laying so motionless as she was by the edge of a thawing creek. "Raven?" Goro gave a sharp woof as he approached his small sister, alarmed by the way she was sprawled on the wet, cold ground, without so much as twitching an ear as he approached. "Ravenshou?" He moved closer, until he was near enough to nudge his pale muzzle against her back, hoping for a response... but he got nothing. Fear trickled through his veins like a cold venom when the scent of death filled his nose, so faint that no human could detect, but still unmistakable to the well equipped nares of a canine.

Dread slowly fed over him, numbing his limbs until they felt like lead, "Raven..." A sorrowful whimper was uttered, and he circled around to the front of his sister, gingerly nudging her face, which looked so peaceful with closed eyes and a calm expression - she looked as though she were merely sleeping. Distraught by his find, and smelling no blood to suggest she'd been shot by hunters or attacked by enemies, Mandragoro raised his muzzle upward and howled out in agony, crying into the sky and letting the rest of the pack know of their lost sister.

Tar

He was still awaiting Harbringer and Tanya's return from the Alleys, and starting to get a little worried about how long it was taking them. Worrying about the wolfess he had his eyes on had to take a backseat at the time Mandragoro howled out in such anguish. Something bad had happened... a howl like that wasn't used unless someone had died. Fear delved into the black hybrid and he shot like a rocket through the heavily forested land, darting across the ground as fast as his legs could carry him until he came upon the heartbreaking scene where Ravenshou had fallen. "Goro, I'm so sorry. What happened?" He spoke softly, half stunned by what he was seeing, and naturally on edge at the sudden death of a packmate. Had she been sick, and he hadn't noticed?
