Soul on Fire

Dominus remained standing as tall as the titanic yearling could, though not in any sort of display of power but rather because of the incredible sense of urgency he was feeling. His weight shifted between his paws as he fought the urge to run past them and run out of the cave to find his sister, but the words of the two caught his attention and kept him anchored.

The paler female seemed to offer more sensible information and kept his blue eyes the longest. He listened to her, his silverback ears attentively positioned toward her as he took in every word. Her raven offered some comfort that perhaps this was a temporary situation, but still, he felt panicked. His mind started to become hazy, though he wasn't sure if it was from his fear or the smoke from outside. He took a deep breath after she asked her question, reminding himself to calm down and keep his head so he could figure this out properly.

"Her name is Domina. She looks just like me, she is my twin sister.. but her eyes are red." He informed them to the best of his capability before the other woman started talking, and he turned to her. She asked if their family lived near and all he could offer was a blank stare as his jaw slacked some, unable to find an answer. They once lived in these mountains, but where was their home now? He didn't know how to explain, so he simply shook his head negatively and focused on the next part of her speech where she introduced herself.

"My name is Dominus Praetor..." He offered his name politely, though his wide blue eyes soon found the other woman and her raven again as he desperately wondered if it would risk taking flight out there.

"Is it safe for him?" He didn't want to risk her pet being injured, but at the same time.. he needed to find his sister. Again, he found himself struggling to stay put.. taking a step toward the mouth of the cave to better see what awaited outside.
