Let's Kill Batman [MEETING]

Ashiel was pulled from his thoughts by a familiar voice and he turned to smile softly at Zinnia. "Thank you Zinnia, it is good to see you as well." At least some of his pack members had made it out alive and for that he was thankful but it was still hard not to feel the weight of the spaces left by those who should be at the meeting but weren't. Typhon arrived and Ashiel greeted the man, glad to see he was alive and well. He let his thoughts drift again until the meeting began and he focused his attention intently on Malleus. He knew how important this meeting was and he'd already resolved to join the Risen Empire and do what he could to help Malleus.

Ashiel nodded lightly to himself as Malleus spoke about taking the reigns. It was indeed time for Amon's children to lead the family and Malleus had shown he was nothing short of capable. Ashiel was certain that Malleus would lead them from tragedy into greatness. Ashiel met Malleus' gaze and nodded. He felt his stomach churn as he cleared his throat. He was a warrior and a leader, he wasn't the sort to be having visions but for some reason the Fallen god had chosen him anyway. He gazed out amongst the wolves gathered for the meeting.

"The Fallen god came to me in a vision. You see, when the flood hit I died for a short time. My spirit was dragged down through the depths of the water and I was whisked along the rivers of death. When I thought I'd be lost forever a line of fire raced toward me and then surrounded me in a blazing ring and suddenly I was able to stand. I heard a booming voice say to me 'Do my ways leave a bitter taste on the tongue? Would you spit your medicine upon the ground and succumb to nothing?'.

"I could not answer. Suddenly the water below me went still and when I looked down I could see a massive forest. It was a knotted, choked forest. Trees grew just inches apart, twisting around each other. Night fell and a violent storm rolled in. Lightning struck the forest and a mighty, consuming fire swept through the forest, turning large swaths of it to ash.  Then it was like time suddenly raced forward. I saw the sun rise and set so many times it became a blur. Then I found myself looking upon the same forest but it was rich and beautiful. The trees grew strong and towered above the earth.

"The water began to rush again and I still did not understand. When the water stilled once more I gazed upon a small island where I saw a huge monster with four heads, one in each direction, moving erratically amongst a herd of sheep. It was disjointed and chaotic in it's movements and horrifying to gaze upon. The monster just ate and ate until at last it had devoured everything on the island. Then it fell asleep. When it awoke it scrambled across the whole surface of the island. When it found nothing to eat its heads turned inward and it devoured itself.

The river beneath my paws suddenly split as the ground ruptured and I felt like I was drowning until I came to in the river." Ashiel swallowed and turned his gaze back to Malleus. "I confided in Malleus and we have been trying to decipher the meaning of this vision."
