Moracine, Moraxide, Tiitus, Srinie, Misty, Avrilla, Vami, Icondoit, Brynn, Sollek.
Gamble and Dominican had been seen off not long ago and Moracine was feeling apprehensive about it. She wondered if they would be able to find them a new home - Oasis was no longer holding out for them. They were gaining members, their kids were growing - they needed somewhere that wasn't surrounded by the desert. But they weren't going to be given much of a chance to wait for their exploring patrol of two.
For only moments after the thought entered her mind, she was knocked off her paws and she could hear her adopted daughter screaming as everything seemed to be thrown off balance - as if the very earth before her shook. And that's exactly what it was - even if it paused for a moment. "Avanguardia, come! Peroxide!" The Empress shouted to her pride, to her mate as she surged forward towards her children. The children were first, always first. She feared for them. Moraxide was pressed against Tiitus, huddled under Srinie. But the others. "Rancid?! Peroxine? Temperance, Xevikan!" She called for her other children as she desperately looked around. But even as she did so, she noted those near - Misty, Avrilla, Vami, Icondoit, Brynn, Sollek. Not all was lost...
Until the second wave hit and it jolted the very lands they stood on. Moraxide screeched and Srinie ducked down and grabbed her, Misty lunged towards the two just in time to grasp Tiitus in her jaws as Srinie stepped to the side. "CHILDREN!" Moracine screamed, worry evident in her very being as she lunged forward for the closest cub she could reach. "Grab the cubs, grab the cubs!" She screamed for them all as the Oasis seemed to begin to crackle underneath their paws.

Grimoire Ferment-Cato, Ruhe Silowt-Donovan, Peroxide Fearless-Tempest, Peroxine Fearless-Tempest, & Rancid Fearless-Tempest
Allies: Alimony Fearless-Price & Lavander Price
He had been on his way to speak with Mora when the ground beneath him shook violently and threw him off balance. Peroxide steadied himself, but as soon as he heard his mate calling for him, he ran to her side even under the unsteady ground. Grimoire had just finished neatly placing all of her herbs when the everything started to move and fly into disarray. She growled, irritated that her hard work had been ruined! However, she quickly calmed herself once she herd her Empress call for the pride. She left the herbs without a thought, though stumbled quite a bit.
Peroxine and Rancid huddled against each other and stuck close to the ground, terror clear in their eyes. Alimony quickly grabbed Rancid, whereas Lavander grabbed Peroxine; the Empress had just started to say to grab the cubs. Ruhe had come to the group just as the second wave hit, and lunged forward to grab any cub that was still not safe. Peroxide stumbled as the second wave hit, but he saw the group and he struggled forward, finally reaching the.
A boom resounded and Peroxide immediately looked northward, the direction he determined it came from. His heart sank and ears fell flat against his skull. He never thought he was afraid of anything..but this.... this... "Everyone, move out now! South! Head South! No, Southeast!" He could see the streams of red flying out everywhere as the sky darkened and started to snuff out the light. He didn't look for much longer as he made sure everyone was leaving and ran.

Temperance
Everything felt like a normal day to the young cub, Tempy was playing like any other day but that soon all came to a halt. Temperance was stalking in the grass in search of something to play with, A large beetle or maybe a grasshopper but the ground rumbled and as it did Tempy fell to the ground only to quickly get back to her feet. Her fur puffed out as she was surprised by the event and instantly looked around for her parents, hearing not far off her mother's voice called out.
Tempy carefully and slowly put one paw in front of the other not wanting the ground to growl again, each step was carefully placed until another stronger shake hit the ground causing the cub to hit the ground once more but this time she refused to take another step. As the ground shook and rumbled It took ever bit of energy the cub had to stand, "Mommy!?, Daddy!?" she cried out in hopes that she would be found.

Xevikan Fearless-Tempest
The little guy had chosen a bad time to take a nap--he was thrust from his dreams with quite a scare as the first quake hit, and as he began to whine and stand, looking for his mother the second threw him off his feet. He squeaked ungracefully and righted himself, hearing Moracine's scream. Few things could scare a child as much as that. Fearful tears sprang into his eyes but he bolted for her nonetheless, coming up beside Temperance since she was the first he saw. Probably not the best idea, but he was a scared child. "Tempy!" He pressed into her side, breathing heavily.

Moracine, Moraxide, Tiitus, Srinie, Misty, Avrilla, Vami, Icondoit, Brynn, Sollek.
Her order spread quickly. Lavender and Alimony had Rancid and Peroxine immediately and Ruhe was beside Srinie in an instant - grasping Moraxide. Srinie dipped her head down and grasped Tiitus and Misty and Sollek had taken to the skies to find the other two before swiftly grasping Temperance and Xevikan. In an instant, they were beside Moracine once more and the rest of them were gathering close. With Peroxide's new orders, Moracine took off running in the given direction.
It would be difficult, for all of them, because as they crossed the soft grass of Oasis into the hot desert - they realized instantly the dangers of having stayed in the intense heat. Their pads would be scratched at, their paws burned, their fur heated. The sun was pounding on their backs relentlessly and the pain would begin to egg on with only thirty feet crossed onto the hot sand. Her babies, thankfully, would not have to suffer. Srinie would - but one look at her would show that she was with the rest of them. Moracine noted that those whom could fly also ran beside them - a glance proved that Misty, Brynn, and Sollek would suffer alongside them. And run they would, huddled closely together to not lose each other even as wind kicked up - almost relievingly so - but even that relief would be brief as sand was tossed in the air about them.

Grimoire Ferment-Cato, Ruhe Silowt-Donovan, Peroxide Fearless-Tempest, Peroxine Fearless-Tempest, & Rancid Fearless-Tempest
Allies: Alimony Fearless-Price & Lavander Price
Peroxide glanced around, making sure each of his and Mora's cubs had been picked up. He saw Ruhe holding Moraxide, Lav grasped Peroxine, Ali had a hold of Rancid, Srinie now had Tiitus, Misty and Sollek had Xevikan and Temperance. All were accounted for. He kept himself at the rear, letting his mate lead the way while he watched the rear and made sure no stragglers fell behind. As soon as he left the oasis, he felt the hot sand scorching the pads of his paws. As he ran, a familiar sound caused him to look back and what he saw caused him to frown further. A crack in the earth chased after them with Peroxide right in its path and it widened as it gained on him. Soon enough it was right on his heels, trying to swallow him whole... and it did just that when he lost his footing.
Ruhe glanced at the young female known as Srinie, wondering if she would hold up okay. Even for him, the sand seemed merciless and he really wanted to take to the air, but he kept himself grounded. He would endure, more so for his sisters Vami and Avrilla, but also because the other winged members of the pride did too.
Grimoire took one last glance at the Oasis, saying her goodbyes, and she watched many of the trees topple over. They could have crushed them had they stayed. However, past the Oasis and further to the horizon- to the coast- it looked..odd. She wasn't sure how exactly, just that it was. Bluer than usual, perhaps? She blinked for a second... Where had Peroxide gone? She looked around and was unable to catch sight of his figure. Her pace had started to slow, now she was falling to the back a bit..should she go back for him? How far back would she need to go exactly? It was a choice that could easily decide the end of her life. More than likely...he was gone, right? She closed her eyes, thinking of her father's pain- as well as her mothers- and sped back up. It's karma She thought to herself, not saying a word.
Perry looked at her siblings, still quite obviously freaked out about all of this. However, she didn't speak a word- nor did Rancid. He was in a daze simply trying to sort his emotions about what had just happened. He had never experienced anything as frightening as this before. Lav, Ali, and Ruhe had continued to face forward, only thinking of getting to safety.

Temperance
With her brother now by her side she felt just a tiny bit better, though her world around her was still crashing and crumbling into pieces. She huddled close to Xevi and before she could think, Tempy and her brother were swooped up by members of the pride which were running off into the desert with the rest of the group. With everything happening so fast Tempy wasn't sure who exactly grabbed her and really didn't care but her pale purple gaze wondered to the direction of what used to be their home as it got farther and farther away.
It wasn't till then that she noticed her father slipping behind the rest of the group and as hard as she tried to keep her eyes on him between everyone's weaving back and forth in a instant his figure had disappeared as the ground swallowed him up. Temperance was shocked, confused, and scared. Even though she wanted to yell out for her father no words would leave her tiny mouth as they continued to run from danger.
