Little Ball of Smoke

"Talk" Walk

Another day. Another fruitless attempt at trying to find his missing child and mate. Eden and Baelfire had seemingly vanished into thin air, the only trace was the blood and fur he had found several days prior. He was still hung up on their disappearance. Still wondering if they had been kidnapped, or it if was a trick set by Eden so she could finally make her escape. Would she do something like that? Was she even capable? She made herself seem so...naive. So willing to make herself seem like she would never do anything like that. Like she'd always be there for him. But alas, he was a paranoid beast and had no reason to believe he could've ever fully trusted her, he supposed. The night that led them to conceive their pups, well...it had been an accident. Both had given into their primal desires, but...did he regret it? No. He loved his children. While he had fucked up with his first litter, at least this second litter he could try and do better. Baelfire, however... was like a repeat of his family history. His father and mother had disappeared with a couple of his siblings. Then Acere's mate had disappeared with one of their kids...and now? Now his mate had disappeared with one of his. While he wasn't the nicest guy on the block, he would do anything to protect what was his!

Even if it meant trying to tear himself apart fighting his own demon to protect them from him...

He was tired. His wounds from the prior season had finally healed. He was more scarred than before, but did he regret anything? No. Not really. He still planned on trying to get Azure back for that cowardly show at the challenge. Ignis still had no clue what that was about, but it didn't matter. Azure and Bellamy were at the top of his list now...but until then, he wanted to be with his children. Especially after Eden and his son...

He walked into the cave, crimson gaze searching for Aresenn's familiar form.
