Home Sweet Home

In the trees, an array of wildlife was rummaging through the pine needles- using the canopy of greenery as their home, working in tandem to create a symphony of sounds. Chirping birds, chattering squirrels, mammals scuttling, and even the buzzing of insects. And the scent in the air, it was quite charming- a salty mix of ocean water and the sharp tinge of pine needle, with undertones of churned-up soil. In the distance, waterfalls poured down with fresh water, creating rivers and streams throughout the domain. The soft roar of the rumbling falls enhancing the forest symphony. Sephiran had truly picked a flourishing territory where they would thrive. Leading Laney to the end of the forest, they headed toward the rocky beach of the ocean inlet.

An ear flicked towards the girl out of reflex, a smile tugging at her lips. Laney thought it was beautiful, which made Azoula…. Happy. But at the mention of Sephiran, she was overcome with a more serious expression. “Mmm, Sephiran. He received us, in agreement that I will be his EFFENDI- KÖLE.” She’d muse aloud, as they emerged from the tree line and onto the beach. The oceanside here was truly magnificent- a harbor with unknown depths spread for miles between the rock faces, creating a sanctuary for an array of sea life. Slowly, they’d walk along the shore, navigating it for all of its worth. "Avoid him, Laney. I feel he’s... worse than Apollyon.” She was blunt with her warning, eyes shifting to Laney, as she wanted the weight of this to be known. He’s a monster.
