It's madness, it's madness - O; Ana's death

[Ares]

ARES THERVOS

Ares hadn't seen her sister often - which was strange, the two had promised to be close to each other. With the heat wave bearing down on everyone the girl wanted to find her sister. She needed to know the news. She needed to be there. Midafternoon was upon the swamp, heat scorching her back as she walked toward the crater. Ana's scent, though slightly aged, was fresh enough to follow. And then there was a trail of blood. Wild scent, rogue beings belonging to no group, mingled with the trail. No. Ares moved faster. Quicker. Suddenly, just at the edge, she saw them. They were large wolves, ripping at something. Something? No, someone. Someone. Her.

"ANA!" The scream ripped from her as she threw herself at the assailants, gripping the dagger Elsweyr gave her in her jaws and stabbing into the thigh of the first one she saw, slashing and slashing. The wolf whipped around, trapped her in his jaws, and flung her. "Another? Wow." It snarled to the other two, moving away from them to see to Ares.

As he bent down to bite she shoved the dagger into his eye, relishing the scream he let out as she brought the dagger back to her only to sink it into his neck. The liquid, warm and thick, meant nothing as she pushed him away, body shifting. Slamming into the second wolf, the great Deinonychus expired him easily, leaving a mangled mess behind before biting into the third one, dropping the limp body at her feet before rushing back to her sister. 

"Ana...? Ana, oh god, Ana.." The beast spoke hushed words, staring at the mangled mess of grey fur and broken wings, tears blurring the scene. "No... no, no, gods, no!" She gently wrapped her claws around her sister's body, holding her like a baby. "We were sisters.. I was going to.. we.. we were... Elsweyr is.. Pretty-Mother is..." And the dinosaur fell to her knees, gnashing her teeth, tears falling down her cheeks. Jaws opened in a wailing, grieving screech, wings folding in around her head, blocking the sunlight.

//tl;dr - Ares, noticing how Ana had been absent around tanglewood, went to go and find her to tell her about what was going on. Following her scent toward the direction of the crater, she finds that three wolves have mauled her sister. Ares, taking her dinosaur form, dispatches them quickly but knows she is too late. She's close to the crater, holding Ana's body while her wings are blocking her head and the body from view.
