Its a brand new day

He looked out at the water, and felt his brothers stare on him. He had thought Asla had known him best, and that she was the one who should know the truth. Had he been wrong? Azure knew him, and knew that this was wrong, but Mortis could not bring himself to be who his brother thought he was. He waited for the boy to make a decision, and then he turned to Azure, an expression of delight, without doubt or distrust. Unlike Azure, who managed to have a healthy dosing of both in his eyes. Ah, well, he would either come to expect this new Mort or stick a pit viper in his bed. There wasn’t much Mortis could do about, except try and shove his brother into having a good time.

“The last one in the water is an egghead!” he yowled, launching his body forward, wings folded to his side. They wouldn’t help him in the shallow water, just get in his way. He surged towards the shark, which sensed his movements, and began to wiggle against the sand and sea. If it kept at it, it would only beach itself. Was it trying to run to, or away? Mortis wouldn’t give it a chance either way.

His thoughts were wholly in the hunt, and the trips Asla had taken him on coming in handy. The water splashed up his side, and came up to his stomach before he reached their prey. He turned, seeing where Azure was, so the two brothers could attack the shark at the same time.
