She'd never heard such a thing. A perfectly quiet second, then deafening roar. Seas, her ears. It was as though the world was screaming. The sound, so loud, so tearing, she thought she might never hear another sound again.
Little paws fumbled, losing balance as the ground shook. What the hell is happening? If she couldn't trust the ground beneath her feet... She was truly blind. "Salem?" Is her voice carrying through the chaos? Is he still beside her?
There is another roar; crashing, cascading, sound. Water. The ocean rising and filling the crevices of earth breaking apart the island. It is hard to say if she felt it, or heard it first. The rush, the pull. Stronger than she'd ever felt it before. Too strong. Too much. She knows, even if she tried, she couldn't push it back.
Before it sweeps over her, she feels teeth catch her scruff. Pulling her away suddenly. Pushing her into a run. Running. Trying to break into a desperate sprint. Salem. She knows its Salem. Thank the seas. But how do you outrun a tidal wave? And as the ground trembled, Keona didn't know where she could put down her feet. It was only a matter of time. Inevitable. She wonders if her eyes had doomed her friend from the start.
Even as the sea catches up with them, she realizes Salem has grabbed hold of her, neither planning on letting go, she presses her head against his forehead, tight. Her eyes are firmly shut as the waves crash over them. A force like tons of bricks. She doesn't let go. She can't. She won't. She won't.
She still tries. Desperate. The water rushes around them, the only sound in her ears now. She still tries to connect to it. To bend the waves. To gentle them. Her head hurts... It's too much. She has to let the water go, exhaustion seeping into her bones, her very soul.
For a moment, her head finds the surface. Air. A heaven send. She tries to fill her aching lungs, wondering if they're up long enough, for someone, anyone to spot them. She doesn't know how much more she could take.
If I fall, get knocked down, pick myself up off the ground
"Oh, it's a meteor shower, Keo. Falling stars." A meteor shower. Falling stars. Cascading lights. A sight lost on pale hues. As she settled to listen to a friend explain, the tiny Dealer felt... Something was wrong. Off-putting. Until suddenly, her rounded ears flattened.She'd never heard such a thing. A perfectly quiet second, then deafening roar. Seas, her ears.
