As she ventured back to the cart, to her findings.. she saw red in the snow around the large fallen tree... and it wasn't just the red paint chipped wooden wagon.. She ran the other direction, often tripping where the snow was raised and a little hard packed.

Often, she had followed her mother steps to know where it was safe to walk, right now it was a mad dash back to the village. The small thing dodging the feet of the villagers. Her agility wasn't all that bad for her age, her breath was visible in the morning air, and her arms were pumping at her sides. One she didn't pay attention to and she ended up tripping over the tail of a jolteon, male. Who was busy content with his construction of a snowfort. The little girl face first in the snow and a little dizzy. "Hey!" He called out. Whipping his head around while the air around him was wroth with electricity. He shifted and rose to his feet, picking the little girl up by her leg of all limbs, holding her upside down. "Are you blind? Don't you know to look where you're going, that's my tail you stepped on!"

Electric blue eyes angrily met the rather frightened girl. He was a known bully, he growled at her. The little girl fearfully trembled, the teenager making her dizzy with the blood that rushed to her head. "I-i didn't mean to I-I'm sorry! Please let me go!" The air crackled louder. Making her fur stand on end, as she brought her tail between her legs and her ears flattened against her skull. "Oh, yeah? Well i'm about to show you how sorry you ar-" "Excuse me.." there was a third voice. Much older, it was female. Well oiled as it was calm. It even caught the girls attention who was struggling in the teenage jolteons grasp, as the boy turned his head, and a look of his own horror splayed his visage. "E-elder Crystelle!"

He stammered.. forgetting that he was holding the girl, the elder espeon.. white hair tied back in a topknot, neatly speared with two ornate sticks, and a robe wrapped around her lithe frame tied back with a fluffy bow. "Mind telling me why you are picking on that child?" She peered over his shoulder. Her own forked tail sway with a serpentine like grace. "Oh! I-i uh..." the boy looked down, unceremoniously dropping her headfirst into the snow, leaving her muffled protests in the embankment and her little legs kicking. "We were uh.. just playing! Yeah! that's it!" Chuckling nervously, his ears sank and flattened against his head under the hard stare of the elder, not to mention his tail, which slipped between his legs and wrapped around this thigh.

Then like a bolt of lightning he vanished from the sight of her. Sighing, Crystelle walked over to the protesting cub and plucked her out from the deep snow, helping to set her upright, standing in the snow as the kind woman brushed her off. "Are you ok?" Came a soothing tone, trying to calm down the other wise shaken girl. But she was unconcerned about her self wellbeing and sniffled.. "Somethings wrong with mama" tearfully she looked down. Quickly with out a word, Elder Crystelle grasped her hooking under her arms and hefting her up, asking her what had happened and where was her mama. The woods she had replied. And like that she had set off with her. At a much quicker pace and at the direction of the little ones small hand that pointed the way.

At the red chipped wagon she put her down beside it.. "Wait here.." and dissapeared behind the tree.. the little ones mother lay still face first in the snow, under the large oak that held her pinned. She didn't look as if she put up a struggle to get out as the snow around her maintained it's pristine shimmer. Crystelle quickly made her way out from behind the tree back to the wagon.. she said not a word, and lifted the child onto her hip, and carried her back to the village, and unto the council. There it was petitioned that a group be taken out to help lift the log off and carry the body back into the village. She was left there on the lap of the Elder Umbreon, Shadowshroud. Dressed in a hem tattered black cloak with his cowl thrown back, the bright gold rings around his ears and set on his brow glow lightly. A kindly old umbreon, despite his shadowy appearance, he bore the burden of a secret crush on Elder Crystelle ever since before their christenings..

It was there after she had been brought out. Inferno the Elder Flareon had set the snow and ground ablaze melting and drying the snow, and the elders, flora and fauna the Twins had combined an earthquake, concentrated at the point to collapse the ground, crystelle contributed with her own talents to catch the pile of dirt and draw it out. it was only soon after they had left... There she saw her mother.. borne on the shoulders of Titan the elder Jolteon and Zephyr the elder vaporeon.. and the realization had struck.
