Lonely Road
His nose brushed at a few wilting wildflowers; autumn was coming and it was trading the pastel colors of spring for a few fiery colors of its own. Hiraeth never used to like autumn, because it seemed like nature was slowly dying. It seemed melancholy at the time, but nowadays, it rather suited him. Hiraeth sighed and pulled away from the dull flowers, settling on his haunches and looked out from the cliff he was seated upon. This new land really was beautiful, but it still held nothing personal for him. He didn't have family here. He hardly had friends. He was like a ghost, drifting through and touching nothing. It was no way to live, and something would need to change soon, or else he would wilt like the flowers at his feet.
The man had always believed his purpose to be the protection of those he loved. He had not failed, per se, but the ones he had loved were no longer with him. In order for his purpose to be restored, in theory, Hiraeth would need to find someone new to love. And he wasn't exactly in a loving mood. It was a little dangerous, what he was doing. Becoming accustomed to the lonely road he was on. Something needed to happen, some alternate path needed to make itself known. But until then, he would continue to wander. |
This was the longest time Creed had ever felt a sense of normalcy in a long time. Ever since he'd run into Surreal again she'd tamed his wanderlust and given him a purpose. Sure Celestial wasn't up and running yet but he felt almost like family to her and with that came the same feeling towards the rest of them. Sure he didn't know all of them but Surreal loved them and therefore it was, without question, assured that he'd serve them and even die for them if necessary. That being said he certainly couldn't wait for the re-creation of Valhalla. It wasn't Glaciem but it would be a place he could call home and he was excited for it. Granted Celestial had ran into a bit of a bump in the road with Hellstrom having moved right into the Vericona Plains. Though if what Surreal said was true then they wouldn't have to worry about it. If she could get the help of Imperium and Abaven then Hellstrom would most certainly be crushed under the weight of two packs. If they somehow did fail... well his next suggestion would be to just challenge Sin directly and take his pack that way. Either way it'd be beneficial to her though he didn't like the idea of harm coming to her. He'd been trying to take her suggestion of what he could do to help and make something of it. She wanted members to help fill the ranks once the pack was up and running so he could only try his best at being a recruiter. He wasn't much for sugar coating things and enticing others to join a cause but he could make friends and if they chose to follow them then he couldn't complain. Today his travels brought him east toward the mountains. At first the climb had been almost daunting be he relished the challenge of exploring a new place. What better place to explore than the Moontouched Cliffs? He wasn't aware of what was at the top but it certainly had been a more than pleasant surprise when he'd gotten there. What lay before him was a giant field of flowers with an assortment of colors that could rival a rainbow. To put it short... it was gorgeous. Of course his attention didn't remain on the flowers for long. Instead the hint of a creamy color caught his attention and teal eyes swiftly fixated on the new figure. The wolf was obviously male and Creed was immediately consumed with curiosity. He was aware the world wasn't as friendly as himself though and instead he let out a soft bark to get the wolf's attention and then waited to see how the other reacted. If they were hostile... well he'd figure that out from there. Walk, "Talk" Think |
