Meryl

He stared up for so long he lost everything around him. Meryl simply watched the snow fall his mind churning around again and again watching as each flake touched him and his mind slowly focusing on the fact that each one was different. Strange that he would notice such a thing when hunger ripped at his stomach causing a growl to echo and his body to almost shake with the feeling. He hadn’t noticed that something was coming closer to him, no scent or sound immediately hitting him lost in this world snow that captivated him so. His mind churned back trying to recall the reason why he actually liked this icy cold powder that likely would start making it even harder for him to survive in time. Part of him knew he wouldn’t survive the winter without help, he needed to go somewhere but his mind was lost in a realm of kill or be killed and stuck there. When he had killed his father a part of him had gone with the demon lord. He was gone, but not forever he just needed the right things to set his mind in motion that didn’t involve pain, hate or starving.

Finally he heard the soft touch of paws on snow and a scent brushed him at first he jumped up and spun around wobbling lightly on his long, slender legs as he faced the one who charged forward. He didn’t growl but his fangs were bared at first until his eyes found the small female’s form where he simply stared again something churning in his head behind the feral brown and sky blue eyes. His nose twitched and for the first time in a while he recognized the scent that caught him. Meryl gave a wobbling step forward giving another good sniff before he continued getting closer and closer his form looking weak, though somewhat stiff and ridged as he approached her. Her scent was different, but still hers he was and that confused him further as hi mind tried to put together everything. He couldn’t forget her though, not truly. The female who captivated his heart while his soul felt ripped and damaged, the one who brought him comfort always when he was anguished.

”Yin. His voice was gruff and raspy but the name rolled off his tongue. He didn’t forget her it was just she was different somehow. He did something strange then placing his mouth and over her exposed neck mouthing it slightly before putting himself at her side and running his nose through her pelt as if to be certain she was fine and no one else had touched her. ”She is hear. It is fine.” He says mostly to himself before pressing his bony side to her. ”It’s all fine. The demon is gone, Yin never to hurt you. Never to hurt Ame or Yuki. He is gone. He is gone.” He gave a little laugh then his voice still raspy not thinking in any way that she would take this news poorly. Obvious it was great news that she was safe that he had protected her. Though part of him still thought this was in his mind like the delusions when he was on his poison. That was gone, Yin was here his link back to his mind and sanity though parts of it were still clearly gone.
