face the past so you can know the future

It felt like forever ago.

Eden returned to the Briar, walking on what seemed to be hesitant paws. She breathed a sigh and knew her scent had long since been washed away, combined with Ignis' claim over her. They both faded from the memory of the location - or, if you had a belief, the earth remembered but did not show. She walked closer, facing the brambles that had cut off escape previously. It was too much to ask to be alone with her thoughts, to speak to her unborn children...

A snap caused her attention to shift. A red wolf appeared. Ignis? she thought wildly. Had he followed her? Was he upset she kept leaving the Plunder's territory? But - it was not Ignis. Not really. The man had horns, for once, and a dull black coloration added to the red coat. Hanging from his jaws were sabers too. "H-Hello" Eden stumbled, uncertain what to make of this encounter. Escaping - briefly - from one red demon... Only to see another.
