 It was that cry upon the wind that brought my mind from it’s tangle of thoughts and considerations, my form of red and white lifted from earth as I moved to hurry forward. I had not yet scented the blood and yet such a sound held within it notes of panic and fear and a desperate call for myself and for…Sen? The voice however, was unfamiliar, my ears turning to capture the sound as my limbs broke into a steady gallop, large, heavy frame, far larger and more imposing then ever I had truly desired moved to leap and race through the tangle of trees and undergrowth that so marked my home for what it was. I knew her voice, knew her scent, remembered the female from the day of the hunt some months back. A Demon of Iromar they had called her and yet I remember still keeping her at my side and calling her friend. I had….liked the girl, I had liked speaking with her and keeping her near to myself though I had hardly known why, felt only some sense of agitation in the presence of Roamin’ and his desires to be nearer to her, my mind so unaware of the connection they had held. I had, perhaps wrongly, merely taken the boy to be a child whose youthful exuberance had interrupted these few moments I had been given to have with a wolf of Iromar, my mind determined to learn of her own thoughts on this battle of blood that has so long plagued our land. Yet it was perhaps a different battle of blood that met my eyes as it was I moved to break the tree line, paws halted and the bloodied sight of Siren and the boy, her Romain, whom lay so still at her paws. Perhaps I do not know of the healing arts in the same manner as Sen and yet even I am so very aware that the boy is dead. His chest fails to rise, his eyes do not flicker, indeed, they no longer see at all and from the blood that is bathed across him and the reek or Iromar I have some side perhaps of what has happened. For a moment I am simply left to stare, to wonder why it is I have sought so long to bring Angel and Demon together and indeed for a moment even I was given to see what it is Heyel had so long fought against- misguided though he had become. He had, originally I believed, been born to a land and culture that sought against all the stop the needless deaths of others, to end the brutality that bleeds upon the earth before my eyes. Why? Why did I seek to help these creatures so? Maybe it is because those such as Siren exist. A new and younger generation- one that does not have to be this way, one that does not have to look upon their children as Sen looks upon Roamin now and yet- perhaps that is simply my destiny, to return to this very pack as bloodied as Siren herself for a crime committed against family my own- though I knew it not just yet as to the entire truth of her tale as the opalescent blue of my gaze lifted at last to Sirens own. Her call had been for me, though I am not entirely sure why, for never have I felt as false in the colours of my pelt as I surely have at this moment. If I were a really an Angel I would bring him back, if I truly had any power I would bring him to life again and yet I am no more helpful then Sen- can do nothing but offer the words that were whispered into my own ears as a child as I simply moved to step forward, muzzle reaching for that girl of dark and red, seeking perhaps to allow her to lean into my own frame- so much larger than her own. “There is only one thing I can do for Romain now, would you like it if I did that for him?” I shifted slightly once more, remaining beside her all the same, eyes resting against her own with the most open honesty to which I believe I have ever offered as I struggled to keep each word calm, to fulfil my rank and role entirely in that moment. “I cannot fix his body Siren, I do not have that power, but perhaps I can fix his soul, perhaps I can keep it safe for you- until you see him again.” I tried perhaps for a smile, though it seemed so very wrong and shaky upon my lips as my eyes shifted once more to Sen as he made an effort to nose at the body, to appease Siren perhaps and offer some implication of aid before my attention returned to the shadow of a girl whom rested against my side. I do not….understand females, have never felt any draw or pull towards another and yet perhaps I that moment I saw some part of myself within that girl so small, whom seemed to fit so softly against my side though I could only hope I offered some comfort as I moved to whisper those words that for so long I have known. “Chorus angelorum te suscipiat, et lumina in cælum in circuitu.” They are old words, so very old, believed by so many to hold a….power of sorts and even I was willing them this night, desperate to enforce their power, to use any touch of magic that existed within myself, real or imagined, to guide Romain to whatever heaven existed above. It is the Assassins Prayer and yet for years longer than any have remembered they have been spoken over those worthy of them and I was sure – that Romain was. I had…..liked him, despite his youthful play that never did I understand. “He has gone, Siren, but his soul will be safe, kept safe for you until you are ready to see him again. I promise. One day- you will see your Romain, but for now he is…..resting, where he cannot be hurt anymore, in the sky. Those words are a prayer, asking Angels to watch over him and guide him in.” I had to believe it- if only for her, if only to try, voice breaking slightly perhaps as it never has and yet it is a shocking thing even to my eyes to see his body so broken. Maybe I am not a true Angel, but for now, at least……I can try- for just one night, to be an Angel- for a Demon. 41in, 185lbs || Kane x Isola || Brother of Achilles, Sage, Forfax, Haziel, Ariel, Shiloh, Hadrian, Phaedra, Calliel, Evero || Peacekeeper of Taviora |
