IT'S A LONG WAY DOWN TO THE BOTTOM OF THE RIVER.
She opened her mouth to say something to Kiara, something along the lines of if they couldn't hear her banging down their door, then their death at the water's hand wasn't her fault. Of course she wouldn't have meant it, she'd give her life to keep as many safe, if not all of them. The woman held the gaze of Mei for a bit too long, nodding as the shape of a long and twisty dragon she had never seen before morphed before her eyes. "Be careful, Mei." Was all she could offer with a slight crack to her voice, a suspicious lack of crudeness that was typical of her.
As more and more swamp members began to exit out their homes, the water began to rise more, quicker and more furious, following in the wake of the alligators as the rain poured down, harder and harder. Buildings began to shake as Arrow made her way from house to house, trying her best to get all those within her group awake and out, moving away from the water. Her want to make sure no one died would seem to be her downfall, however. As the houses shook more and the water caught up with her, Arrow found herself swept up by the current, dragged along the bottom of the muddy swamp as the water rose, rose high on the houses and far above any animal could stand on the ground. She couldn't swim, had never needed to swim against a current so strong, didn't have the practice.
She wouldn't need it after she hit the side of a house, eyes widening for a moment as she watched it get ripped from the ground, now floating out to the edge of the territory, out to see, and then she was out. Unconcious the body was pulled this way and that, hitting houses and the objects within them as they carefully float out to sea. The town was gone, and in that moment the luminary who led it was as well. Long live the spitfire feline, for she had died once again.
