This cavernous castle is a fitting abode and yet there is an unfulfilled desire still burning within my chest. What is it that I must do to finally satiate this need for something more. My mission was abandoned when I foresaw little hope for Diveen - what good would it be to become the god of one country when its people would surely plot a coup for my upheaval. It has saved me a lot of time and agony by simply walking away. Even if I so wished to have sunk my knives into Isola once and for all. Oh, what a five star act I had put on in my time within the ravine. It's a shame that I would never receive recognition for it.

And so I sat and delved into the thoughts that procured themselves from these selfish desires and began from phase one once again to plot my ascension to sinful glory. How can they even say that I would not be a worthy alpha when they have yet to witness it themselves? Shame on them all. My muzzle wrinkled up into a slight snarl at the thought of their constant condescending thoughts and words. Perhaps they were not all so cookie cutter but it always seemed to me that Heyel's blood was comprised of nothing but hypocritical egoists. But who was I to talk?

Disgruntled emotions were cast aside as a rather brutish brown male walks out from the grotto with a pleased expression upon his features. The matters of those who flock here were never of my concern until it is that I spy Lucian following shortly thereafter with a.. less than pleased and ravenous look taking place in every detail of his face. A bit perplexed, I awaited his ascension to my stone throne and laid golden flecked eyes upon his devil's grin as soon as he appeared before me. Above, the sky rumbled softly with the promise of turbid tempests.

I should have been well accustomed to the ritual that the brindled monster partakes in every time that we are near one another. He is always so greedy for a taste of my flesh and blood - and I am always reluctant to allow him to take it. A snarl forms its place upon my maw once again, this time baring teeth in forewarning of his transgressions, yet he is swifter than I this go around as he pierces through the thick pelage to nip at skin. My neck curves and lurches after him as a viper would its aggressor and hope to at least deal the same damage as he had inflicted. He won't get by with his slick move for long..

But that is what he loves most of all and it seems that there will never be a winning moment in the temperamental bond that has somehow formed between us both.

The snarl simmers upon my lips as gums are sheathed and only the tips of my fangs still showcase themselves; in the case that he decides to be bold once again. But even after some time my features finally relax and I recline once more upon my ledge. "What is it that you were doing with the other beast? The one who had left before you." I spoke flatly as glacial eyes scour the world below for life. Perhaps when he has persuaded me to be in a better mood will I allow some form of affection to shine through the muddled darkness of my being. But only a morsel.
