The russian beast sat in complete silence as his comrade spoke. He had worried initially that the other brute would be angry with him. He had, after all, completely ghosted on this land. He wasn't the kind of guy to ever really explain himself, though not telling Aindreas had left a pit in his stomach for some reason. The only emotional connection Peii had ever had was to his sister. The shining star in this sinister world. He had always given everything for her, based his life decisions around her. He had never fallen in love, and had never had a true friend. He had hope those two years ago that Aindreas could be that, though he assumed that bridge had burned.
Aindreas smelled different for sure, and as the other spoke of echoing mountains and mysteriously growing lands he couldn't help but get stuck on the new scent. Not only had the land changed, but his comrade had as well. His auds twitched at the mention of spying with the mountains, his thoughts lingering momentarily at the thought of the challenge. He was the best spy in the world after all! He barely heard the brute's question. Why are you here?"... oh boy what an excellent question that was indeed. Why was he here? Well.... because he had nothing else. He considered his response briefly until the latter continued speaking, pushing the thought to the back of his mind.
Aindreas mention his father and then Magick... for real? Had this guy gone completely bonkers? Peii stared in utter confusion, his thick head drawing back against his body, tilting slightly as he tried to understand. It would explain everything. And he had heard rumors of such things existing once upon a time but... no way. Suddenly, the russian found himself under Aindreas' intense stare... his blue eyes focused like lasers.. and turning..changing, glowing? Dude. Peii let out a disgruntled huff at the brute, feeling mildly violated at the image before him. He was a pretty open minded guy but after the years he had just been through? He began to feel faint, unsure if he was feeling overwhelmed or if it was the malnourishment. He stood from his seated position, still looking at the other and stumbled a bit, shaking himself to bring him back down to earth. The way he stood caused his hips and withers to protrude beneath his thick fiery coat. So... this guy is something called a Tempest, and there are vampires and other creatures now? The foreign beast began to pace a little, looking at Aindreas and then to the ground, his gate was uneven but he managed to hide his saddened state pretty well nonetheless.
Finally, he turned to face the ivory tempest. His burning amber orbs drinking in the new beast. He again took in the new scent, now understanding the meaning. The creature before him had grown, he was now a new being and the alpha of a pack. Pretty damn awesome compared to Peii's escapades. He sighed deeply and sat once more.
"Alright then, so am I going to turn into a fairy or something now?"
His chocolate words danced through the crisp air. He chuckled deeply at his own ruse and hoped the other would appreciate his words. Letting out yet another sigh he lost his smile.
"In all seriousness comrade, thought I do not fully understand what has happened, I am happy for you. You have become like beautiful butterfly beast, leading your own pack and all. Regrettably, I have not been so lucky. Saoirse is missing, has been for long now. Our family and world are in ashes. I am here because I have nothing and do not know what a beast such as me is supposed to do now "
He stared at Aindreas, a lump in his throat as he focused on his strange new eyes that had now stopped glowing it seemed. He hadn't meant to be so blunt, well, he had, but he hoped it did not cause the other to scoff.
Pompeii
The smell of smoke lies in the air
Ashes, ashes in my hair
I stare into the graying skies
Only then did I realize
The fire shooting from the mountain
Like a big, hot, reeking, boiling fountain
Stone-still, I await my death
Smoke obstructs my every breath
I hear my people’s deadly cries
Quickly, quickly, I close my eyes
