a burning eye in a lifeless sky | block Posted on December 4, 2025 at 00:45:24 AM by Akkadian
He'd been walking, returning after a late patrol when Akkadian noticed the red mare drifting through the shadows. The orange tones of his eyes had followed her as she disappeared down the dark of the jungle path like a ghost. His guess was that she was trying to sneak away and run off. And for a moment... he almost let her. The leopard had not yet determined how he felt about his transgressions against her this fall. The not knowing discomforted him.. irritated him, but it proved not to be enough of a deterrent though since he made to follow the red mare.
He hadn't decided if he would stop her or not when her path crossed the other male's. He'd watched them curiously as they spoke. She and this stranger. Something told him they knew each other, that she might choose to follow up. When possessiveness flared like a flame in his chest the closer Firefox got to the water, he knew he couldn't let her go. Akkadian moved quickly through the last of the trees and out onto the beach proper. His fine arabesque features were exotic but marred by the cold expression on his face. “I think that's quite far enough."
