In pain and trembling, Lucifer pulls himself from the crossing waves of the ocean and back onto Atlantis. His red eyes harbor pain and suffering, but their devil depths narrow upon the place in which he just secured himself a position. He was not the lead here, but he would survive being second. He had a place still on Atlantis with Rieva and his kids, but it was almost as if he wanted the Ridge back in his hands. However, with the torn tendon in his hind leg, the draft was worthless in a hand to hand battle other than for what he just won them.


Tossing his large head, the black demon listened to the sound of birds in the air. His coat was dripping water upon the sand of this beach, but his skin trembled as shivering over took him. He needed to speak with Annubis, but for the very second he was going to stand there with his head lowered by his knees as his teeth ground together. He may have won against Annubis this time around for his position, but he was not so sure he would keep it indefinitely. He had lost brutally to Arroyo and his shoulder packed a seeping wound and his back leg was rendered practically useless. His muscles still ached from the encounter, but he did not leave entirely empty handed. He had his family and even though he was not the kind to care for others, he knew Rieva was his and it would take the devil himself to rip her from his clutches.


Blinking his crimson gaze, Lucifer let out a deep breath before he lifted his head up high and took in his surroundings entirely. Lucifer had not been born here, but his mother had once ruled this very territory. He could scent his half sister as well and his ears wanted to pin against his poll at the scent. He wanted nothing to do with his mothers carbon copy, but he knew he would suffer as needed in order to keep his family safe. His Rieva… his sweet Rieva. Her name swirling through his mind had the stallion begging to snap at her, biting her tender flesh in an almost brutal way, but he knew he would not break her skin. Her pale body had him searching for the other half of their yin and yang, but for the moment he had to wait, just a tiny bit longer


Pulling in another breath, Lucifer gathered the scent of Annubis on his tongue before moving in that stallion's direction. His limp was prominent and he had no urge to hide it. Grinding his teeth together and pushing out the sounds of the island, Lucifer pushed himself onward until his gaze was able to land upon the leading stallion. Sending out a call that was deep, but not loud, Lucifer wondered if Annubis would meet him halfway or if his limping pace would take him all the way to where he needed to go.
