I was disappointed when I found out that Seline was no longer in charge. I had heard many things about the queen and this new bloodline that was out to take over Blossom, or at least the part that is Andere Siete. I've heard of many clans since coming to Blossom. There was the ones who thirsted for blood and there was the night walkers, started by yours truly, and assassins and others who never stuck around for long. I left Munashii after ruling it for just a few months if that but it was never about the power to me. Okay, so it was somewhat about the power, but that wasn't the goal. I was trying to be a leader for once, a trainer. I wanted to know the ones out there who were like me and bring them all to one place so I could keep an eye on them and teach them how to control the thirst. I want to say it helped some but when I see groups like the youngsters who just waltzed into Andere, it makes me shake my head. Nothing will ever change. There will always be idiots with a target on their foreheads, screaming for blood and their own in turn.
I came back looking for new purpose. I haven't found it just yet in Andere but something tells me I'm getting close. In the meantime, I get to play with Cade, all grown up with a new head on her shoulders, or so she'd like everyone to think. I know different. She's the same scared little girl in an adult's body. She's trying to mature too fast than is good for herself. It's cute, really, but I still wish I could have met the real thing, the one who got past puberty all in one piece. Now Cade's a looker, don't get me wrong. She's grown into her body very well and I've noticed, but it just makes me more curious to meet the maker of the genes she holds. I don't hold any thoughts of ever actually meeting the mother though. If Seline is gone, why would she come back? To take back her crown? To re-establish herself with her family? They are a close knit bunch, that's for sure, but would it really be worth all that? I don't know, maybe I'm just not that big on family. The only one I ever had consisted of one wolf, Godric.
I find myself walking the well used path to the Cavern, wishing to see what there is to see in this dark place. It's really the only place that feels like home in Blossom so far. It's cold and welcoming and it feels like night all the time there. I'm most comfortable there. I'm sure with time I'll start to feel that way about Andere but nothing is better than a big dank cavern for a night walker. When I get to the entrance, I take a moment to sniff the air, checking out my surroundings and any recent passersby that might have had the daring to actually go in. I always do sneaking up on my meals. Just the thought has my rough tongue caressing the outside of my lips with a hungry fervor. It's been a while since I've eaten.
I venture inside after coming across a few interesting scents. One in particular has my flesh tingling with a new excitement, though I'll have to investigate further before I know if its from hunger or something else. It could have something to do with that last night I was here...with Sookie. My body starts reacting as any male would at the thought of her succulent form beneath mine but this particular perfume does not belong to her, of that, I'm sure. I haven't seen her since we went out hunting together, a pastime I do hope to repeat some time in the future. For now, I intend to check out this mysterious specimen and see what's so special about her. Ice blues don't have to search far within the darkness before a beautiful silhouette of red and white is found lounging beside a pool. The water is thick with ice, the winter months harsh even on the more sheltered areas of Blossom but the reflection within the ice is something worth immortality, a mature beauty, complete with scars and rich history. I have a few of my own I could show but she'd have to get to know me a little better first.
I stop near a corner of the cavern, tilting my head some to let my gaze wander freely over her colorful curves. An exquisite creature; at first glance, I might have thought it to be Cade herself but this is someone else, something more. Their scents are much alike though, even reminding me of the blood stained male Quirino, the one with the fresh battle wounds. I won't jump to conclusions so fast without further inspection. Nice day to be hiding in the dark, though you share the comfort with monsters. Is there room for fear or is your heart a match for the surface you stare at? My eyes watch her inquisitely, never tearing away. At times, they don't even seem to blink, so entranced in searching her for answers, both verbal and silent.
