Common

(Ineligible for claim)


Once again, he was a failure. Broken bodied and angry, Lucifer barely made the swim from Atlantis onto the crossing isle without drowning. His black coat shimmered in the winter sun as his feathered legs tried to haul him higher on the banks. He was useless to himself, Rieva, and his child. He failed his spawn with Chimney and the one Rieva was hopefully growing. His red eyes held the anger he felt burning in his veins, but failure lined his mammoth sized body with how he slouched.

Limping with grunting notes leaving his lips, Lucifer closed his blood hued gaze before his back leg caved. Stumbling to the ground, the black draft lay sprawled in the middle of the commons with his man draping over half of his neck. He knew he shouldn't be here, but he didn't have the strength to go farther either.

Licking his black lips, Lucifer shifted his weight before a pained cry left his throat when he moved his hind leg wrong. Squeezing his eyes closed, the black beast just fully caved in finally. Tears of pain and frustration flowed down his cheeks as his muzzle touched the earth. Covered above his nostrils with snow how he lay, Lucifer finally thinks coherent thoughts and lets his failure take hold for the first time since that fateful day.
