a silent film he'd watched a thousand times before
The tundra final;y unfolded enough for Marcus to see the bodies pulling themselves across the snow. Relief came sharp and immediate when the haze thinned enough for recognition. The glow of the luxere’s antlers cut a fragile path through the white, and with it, stumbling, was Dom.
He called across the attuned bond to all — Deimos, Lyra, and @Calyspo hearing who he had found. Then he lowered towards the tundra, beak clacking and cerulean eyes urging Dom to follow him towards the rest of the rescue crew. Turning in the sky before Dom, he surged forward with a powerful sweep of his wings. He led him towards the others, taking it at his pace until they were all united again.
Then, Marcus climbed just enough to widen his vantage and began charting the safest return line toward the Citadel. He kept pace ahead of them, circling back often, a vigilant shadow in the sky ensuring their path home stayed as clear as the tundra would allow.
Marcus tries to lead Dom towards the others and then begins scouting their return to the Citadel.
