Alone...that's what he was. He had not a companion, no friend, no family nearby. He had wandered in search of his missing father, for his mother had died during the fight against his crazed brother. The sands shifted beneath his feet, blue eyes scanning the landscape as he wondered where he had wandered to. The ocean lied before him, which direction had he gone? It was somewhat cooler here, yet the sun still poured its rays upon the land and heating all that it touched. The breeze was warm here, the sands somewhat hotter underfoot, and yet it did not bother him. He rather enjoyed the heat, he often hoped and dreamed that it would melt away the insecurities he held about himself as well as the worries that constantly plagued his mind. He moved forward, closer to the water until he sat down just at the very edge where the tide flowed in and away. The tips of his claws barely touching the water when it came towards him, only to watch it recede back into the vast ocean that lied before him. What was it like on the other side? Were there others like him out there? Places of safety where he could take his family? He could only dream...
