It was muffled, but I heard her scream. I stopped in my tracks, and attempted to find her scent. I could make out the faint smell of the group southwest from where I was. I made my way there, only to find an empty saddle on Ah-Un, and the guards searching through the snow. Even the dragon searched the ground for my missing mate.
"Explain this." I commanded, failing to keep my anger contained.
"It was an avalanche, it came from nowhere." one of the demons replied.
"And you lost my mate in it?" I growled.
"I-It came out of nowhere and seemed to target her, my lord."
"It targeted her?" I repeated as my anger subsided.
Events began to weave together into a comprehensible thought. This had been the original intention from the beginning, and the thought of it irritated me. I allowed myself to slip away from my humanoid shape, deciding to spare no time in finding my mate. If this turns out to be as I expect it will, someone will lose their life.
