Bite Into Me Harder, Sink Your Teeth Into My Flesh

Lightning cracked the sky as he stood on the battlefield, breathing in the scent of death, of blood. Three scents were on his coat, one of which was fainter then the other two. His son's, Shiki's, scent mingled with that of Nia. Pamela's scent was more faint, considering he didn't really touch the woman, merely gave her some attention due to her caring for his child. His heart ached, the child of the damned, the child of sin. He was here, standing upon the battlefield, with a vision in mind. When he left them all this morning... he had the feeling the very earth and skies would need to be moved before he went home. It was said a man could feel death coming before it knocked on his door.
Surely the little fae he had taken had other siblings, and they must have figured it out by now. His sins stared him in the face as he had slept the night before, just another reminder of what waited. Yet... Kau was not afraid. A bit of sick laughter left him, single eye looking up at the rolling skies. He could feel the gods watching him, laughing. Would he die? Would he somehow, miraculously, live? What wraiths of justice would come to cut him down? Who would bear witness to the event? Who would mourn him, if any?
"Come, my devils, my demons. Lets dance... DANCE! Hahahahahaha!" His crazed laughter cut into the air. This was what Kau had been bred for. Hand raised to do. Reap destruction. Cause chaos. He was the son of the bloody Kedieo Empire, and so it was only fitting that, should he die, his last stand be made in a place as fitting as this.

The boy was compelled to follow, worry filled his chest in all directions for his new found master and companion. Of course, he knew that Kau was not a good man, not a nice man. Yet he was still nice to him. The kind of stability the mentally unstable deaf boy needed. He had told Tally to remain with Shiki and Pamela. The white boy had grown fond of the two of them, even if they didn't like him. Yet he rode behind Kau's heels before they arrived. Was he wrong to go here, would whoever Kau's adversaries try to take him away. He didn't want to be taken away from Kau.
Nia stood against Kau for a moment looking up at him. "Please don't die Kau" he whispered a little pressing his ears back against his head. He hadn't heard what he had said and he hadn't been paying attention to read his lips. But, his worry level rose still. As the small white boy waited to see what would happen.

Nia.
He felt the young male before he heard him. The man's madness would ease back for a moment, long enough for him to share a moment, perhaps his last moment, with the younger wolf beside him. Who knew if he would have another day? Kau would frown some, looking at him with a softened gaze. Finally Kau would move, so that he could stand before Nia. "No one is promised a tomorrow, Nia. Not I, and not you. I have done wrong, such sins... and I feel that today, here, is where they will catch up to me. They will tear into me, and I will fight for my life. I can not promise that I will, but I will promise that I will fight with all of my strength to come home." His words were spoken a bit more loudly for the deaf boy, and he closed his eye, taking a breath.
"When the time comes, and blood starts to be spilled, promise me Nia... I want you to promise me that you will run. That you will not witness that which takes place here. That you will go to Pamela, to my son, and let them know that if I don't come home... that I've gone to meet the gods. Where I go after, if there is even a place for the damned like me, I have no idea. I have loved and lost. I have sinned and spit in the face of all those who walked upon this earth." Kau opened his remaining eye.
"I have lived as my line seems to lead their lives -- paths of chaos. I have my regrets, but they mean little now. All there is to do is to wait and see what number the die of fate rolls on for me." This was acceptance. This was willingness to face the jaws of death. He had little choice regardless... but that didn't mean he wouldn't get the chance to go down swinging.
