From the second that she had left Voluspa's side, her pace had quickened with each second that she had to spend getting back to Vermeda. The worry growing in her gut as well as the infinite amount of urgency to find every single piece of her lost family. So the second that she was even near the borders of home, she called out for anyone who was willing to list. Anyone that wanted to help out because they needed to find her siblings and her Lena. They had no choice, at least once they got here they would have no choice. They were all family and family helped each other out in times of need and this was no different.

ooc ) For those that wish to participate in the searching/BWP, Renly has come to address that not only is Arden and Lena missing, but Khal was taken too!

Renly's urgent call hastened the worried Aquila towards her. For a few steps he lumbered and limped on a still painful limb until the adrenaline kicked in and amongst the long strides he could ignore the pain and take flight. Trees, air, familiar scents raced past him as he picked up speed towards Talisa's young daughter. When he caught sight of her only then did he begin to slow down his pace. The run catching up with him as his lungs began to fill and expel breath greedily and heavy. "Renly-?" He managed the questioning tone to her name between heavy breaths from his flight. She looked well, there was no immediate danger pursuing her. What then had sent the alarm bells ringing and had the young Valour in her state?

She made it a point to show her face whenever someone called for the pride, or from the pride, or anywhere near the pride. She certainly wouldn't let someone deal with their troubles alone if she could do anything to be of assistance. Especially with everything that was going on now, with the mist and the disappearances. She presumed that was what would be discussed, though she supposed there were still other things going on in the lands.

Aquila seemed to have asked the question that she would have, or at least she guessed he would have. Might as well not repeat it. She would simply wait and see what the young woman had to say.

Tullia Valour

Tullia was not a fool nor ignorant to the rising issue. Some Liones were missing, family included and that alone had rang all the alarms within the Valour woman who rushed at the calls from her niece, @Renly. Eyes dressed in worry, worry from all of this. Mouth shaped in her concern, but body relaxed, as tension was being pushed away by Tullia's restoring will to be resilient for her family's sake. They didn't need more worry. She wasn't going to let them at least towards her.

She approached to the group finding @Aquila her patient among them. She took a moment to check only with heh eye as she walked in if he was doing well to which he did. Eyes would then travell to @Heloise. "I'll help." Whenever she was needed she would go.

there was a heaviness to the woman’s features, the weight of her brows seeming more stagnant as they splayed across her forehead, and her lips downturned sadly at the edges. it was apparent now, that this was no ordinary fog — after losing arden, it had become clear to nymeria that something more powerful as at play, and it did not sit well with her. it was almost as if there lands were sick, clouded in conspiracies and cruel facades — and so when the valour heard @Renly's call, she was quick to make her way in that direction, assuming already that she knew what it was about (but perhaps not knowing the full extent of it, yet).

arriving, nymeria sought to bring herself closest to @Aquila, her ears peeled back and her eyes set purposefully on her niece. she had the floor, and all of their attentions, for whatever was needed, and the druid would wait patiently for her words before making any further assumptions.

Even though her friends, family and pride mates were swift and true to heeding the call, the seconds were far too long in between. Renly couldn't keep herself from moving back and forth, pacing here and there and ultimately the most restless she had ever been in her life. Fearing what she might be told as well as fearing telling them but she hadn't done anything wrong and yet that dark angel on her shoulder told her otherwise.

So as the masses began to settle in - @Aquila, @Heloise, @Tullia and @Nymeria - she felt her heart race wildly in her chest as she looked to each one of them. Khal is missing, too, now. Voluspa was with him and he just vanished into the mist in front of her. She went to go tell the Lagoon and I came to tell you guys and we have to search for him. And Arden and Lena. She paused, if only to catch her breath which really didn't seem to want to be caught as she struggled to keep herself from falling onto the ground or floating off into the clouds. Voluspa said that we'd search for them together. Said she'd come here and we'd search. So they would have a whole party to search for those that were missing.

A part of her was about to ask if they would assign themselves to help look for their family and pride mates but something already told Renly that she didn't have to ask.

Calder had been tracking his own mother as she surged through the forest of Vermeda. His practiced paws were silent as he moved through his native home, his throat tightening at the palpable anxiety looming in the air as they approached the small gathering. He poked his head out a moment after Nymeria, pale gaze flicking around rapidly to assess the gathered faces of his family and pridemates.

"H-Have we asked Maua?" He inquired hesitantly, unsure if this was too obvious of a point to even bring up to the group. The idea of lions vanishing into the mist seemed far too eerie not to be supernatural, and Maua was their anchor to the other realm. "We should go back to where they disappeared," Calder suggested.

Missing. Aquila's heart sank, Talisa and Morrigan's son of all lions? Not even a year after losing Tormund now one child more had vanished. He snarled a little, his shoulders bunched up and the big lion grew clearly distraught in his own grumpy, grumbly way.

"I don't have much faith Maua will be of help." He responded to Calder with a frown. Their god had their own designs and if they had not helped the Valour lions through the trials of upheval and invasion then Aquila would not count on them one bit to help find their lost.

"We can't wait on the Lagoon lions to get here." Time was not on their side, they needed to start looking now. The lions gathered here Aquila had more faith in anyways, they'd be among the first he picked to travel with through the mist and they were the ones he had no troubles relying on. "We should go. Now." He was looking around the group as if waiting for agreement but with his limbs getting antsy and his claws kneading the ground below him there wasn't going to be long that Aquila would wait for anyone...

Caligula had heard the call but it hadn't been the easiest of tasks to answer it. He kept running into pockets of solidity which had him having to backtrack and try different routes to get away from the borders of the pride and to head in and towards the call.

He got there in time enough to hear a list of names of those whom were missing. He knew none of them but that didn't matter. They were a pride, that made them all responsible for each other. "Just tell me what you need me to do." He might not know them but he was still willing to go out and hunt for them.

Most unlike a good chunk of her family, Renly didn't have a whole lot of faith in Maua. Not that she had anything against Them but seeing as she had never laid eyes upon Them, it didn't seem to matter much to her. Renly was more focused on the here and now, the lions that were present in her life and ignoring and easily forgetting the one's that weren't. This needs to happen now, she practically demanded to her cousin @Calder but not in any negative or mean way. She just was tired of losing her loved ones and with both of her siblings missing, plus Lena, she didn't want to waste anymore time. Which was why she was pleased to hear @Aquila say that they couldn't wait. I agree. Let's go search. Time was of the essence and she wasn't about to let anybody get in her way to find anyone. So Renly took a quick look at her aspired crowd before leaving to exactly where Arden had disappeared. exit renly.
