if i never saw you again

The nagging feeling hadn’t let up, even after he’d stumbled on the vibrant lavender woman once more. She wasn’t the true draw of the titan back to his birthplace. Noir avoided the eastern lands at all costs, yet here he was staring at a world long gone by from his life. Dark brows knitted over his burning gaze, blue striped haunches coiled beneath him as he sat in perfect stillness that early summer night. Memories and thoughts that hadn’t bothered him in years were suddenly brought to the forefront as his eyes roamed the far distant curve of lands that he had once called his home.

He’d never belonged there, he wouldn’t have ever been welcomed really. Especially not after the volcano and Poem.. That had been the beginning of the end. Noir often wondered what might have happened if he hadn’t been seen. Or if he’d managed to rid the world of the favored daughter. He wouldn’t ever know.

Frustrated from the emotions that were seeping through his carefully crafted shell Noir snarled and pulled himself to his paws. In one smooth motion he was turned and headed back west despite the almost instinctual pull of Abaven’s borders.
