Romance is in the air...this is probably the most beautiful and scenic place in Blossom Forest. For the athletic and determined to come with their mates, for time away from pups. Only adults may come here; some of the ledges are too far apart for teens or pups to cross and some too high to scale.
this is the road to ruin and we're starting at the end IP: 208.80.208.97 Posted on September 5, 2018 at 01:10:27 AM by Yoichi
Yoichi almost tripped over himself when he didn't notice a root in his way, though he managed to untangle his legs and carry himself forward instead of landing ungracefully in the thick undergrowth. There was little signs of the sky through all the branches interlocking above him, the faintest traces of a breeze ruffling at his glowing fur. The scents were heavily laden with plant and animal life, and he could almost taste the other wolves the scent was so strong here. It wasn't long before he found a pool of water fed by a thin stream, and he thrust his snowy muzzle into the cool water for a drink, the refreshing liquid quickly sliding down his throat.
It seems like forever ago that he had left the comfort of his homeland despite it being quite recent, and he had already been forced to fight fangs and claws for his life already. If this was how the outside lands were, then he was certain that his family had been right to keep the royal family away from it for so long, because he has lost the purity of being free from worries or the ability to never need to fight. It was not pleasant at all he finds, and it threw his worldview off it's balance. The taste of blood and flesh was utterly disgusting, and he didn't like the sensation of having caused another pain as much as he disliked pain being inflicted upon himself. It was starting to get the better of him, and he knew that, but he refused to lie down and let himself be killed either. So he had swallowed down his kindness temporarily, and had chased them away with bleeding damages.
The water had rid him of the blood in his mouth, that revolting taste of liquid salt and iron. The gentle prince hated the fact he had actually harmed another, and those self-loathing thoughts showed no signs of stopping anytime soon. There were too many scents muddled by the water to really pick out any individual one, so he stepped into the pool of water and let the water soak into his fur, allowing the rest of the blood to be washed from his form. Closing his eyes as his glow seemed to suffuse the water around him, he allowed the comfort of washing away his sins suffuse his mind.
He remembered why he had even started this journey, to find his younger siblings. He had understood the risks that came with leaving his homeland, and he was more than willing to offer his life for his siblings. He loved them, and wanted to keep them safe after he found them. It was ironic in a way, that he sought the same siblings his parents had sent away. He didn't know just how many other Akasha lie in these lands, save for his siblings, their caretaker, and the Corrupted he had met, but he was certain that there was no reason to fight amongst themselves. He was still strongly holding onto the hope that he would find them soon, especially before something bad happened to them. He knew that it was possible, and he believed that he would. How could they just be gone without a trace? He didn't believe they were truly gone, or that would tear him to pieces.
Once he found them, he would never let them go. He would offer them everything and anything he could possibly give to them, and take care of them even after they were old enough to take care of everything themselves. He had a duty to protect them after all, he was their older brother. Or he could try his hardest, at least, no matter what tried to scare him away or take him down. He didn't fear anything more than losing them, not even other, crazy, wolves. One of these days, hopefully soon, he would be with them again. A true family unit once more, as they should always be.
