Just moments ago, many of them were sharing the warmth of the sun and sand, some the hunt of a meal, other it was laughter and inner exploration. All came to a screeching halt with the anguish cry from one of their own. The growing level of emotion among her nest mates was hard to ignore. Even in the form she was in, she felt and saw the images of support that Noqs projected and Isela completely agreed. They needed to stand together. Something horrible had just killed their nest mate and her friend and it had rattled her.<br/><br/>But even more terrifying in a completely different way, yet made her pulse race faster was barreling towards her, landing and tearing up the earth in front of her. Earth that only moments ago they had been playfully wrestling on, rediscovering each other on. Earth that had done nothing to deserve what had just become of it other than being there. It was unexpected and it was enough to distract her from her thoughts for a brief moment as she had a firsthand view of the rage on his face.<br/><br/>Isela wasn't sure what about him shocked her more. That he had not only heard her concern for him, but that he had come back for her and now had his tail wrapped around her thigh possessively and protectively ready to defend her against this unknown threat. An angry growl tore from him as he positioned himself as a wall of force between her and the danger that threatened them all. Or that in addition to his territorial behavior towards her, he had also just called her love, and she liked it.<br/><br/>There was a mixture of emotions that pulled her in different directions, but anger was the single emotion that was winning out. Before she could answer him, Isela saw the creature tear away and off over the ocean, but not before it hurled some of that darkness towards the beach leaving some of that darkness in its wake and directly in the path of those still on the beach.<em>I don't know what it is, or where it came from, but I can't believe what I just saw it do. Reo, Astrianos never stood a chance.</em>Everything was happening so fast. Clutch mates were gathering quickly even as the crab monstrosity on the beach continue to grow in size and position itself in a face off to those down on the sand.<em>I think we have even more trouble starting Reo. We need to figure out how to stop this before that darkness consumes more than just one of us.</em><br/><br/>Whether it was instinctual or not, Isela reached down and stroked Reo's tail just before she pushed at it to untangle her thigh. It was a very intimate act and one that ultimately was acknowledging his actions towards her.<em>I'm all right Reo, thank you.</em>Stepping away, to give herself a little space, she transformed and spread her wings outward, the sun reflecting off her cobalt scales and a crackling of static charged and fueled by her anger.<br/><br/>Her eyes rested on Reo, and despite everything else she was feeling, she forced calm into her thoughts. They had to think smarter than what they were facing, and that meant rationally instead of emotionally.<em>Noqs is right though, we all need to stand together, we can't let that thing escape into the water either. It could infect other creatures and then, there may be no way of stopping it. Though it would seem Safiya has the right idea. Shall we go help them out down there? </em><br/><br/>Their parents must have heard and felt the anguish death cry as they did. Surely they would be heading this way too or was it now up to all of them?
