Quick as a snake. Calm as still water. He had been so lost in thought that he had let his guard down until he caught a faintest color on the breeze. There was a flash of white approaching as he immediately stopped kicking the earth. His tail darted from side to side but the creature, a wolf, started to skid to a stop until he was only inches away from the almost man. Aquarius looked at the boy sympathetically, remembering some of his late night runs from when he was younger. They had always seemed to put him at peace. The boy rambled out an apology and the ghost stopped him. ?There is no need to apologize boy; you are just having some fun.?He would say with a small grin on his muzzle. Oh what he would give to be a pup once more. The man slowly backed up as the boy did the same, it put about five or six feet between them. His burning orange eyes, orbs that allowed him to see during the day and night, would study the boy as the boy had been studying him. ?You are quite the capable lad aren't you?? He asked as he noticed the developing muscles on the boy who was no more than six months old. A deep breathe as the phantom padded around the boy, his paws hitting the ground with soft thuds. Thud. Thud. Thud. Who would this boy grow to be? Would he be a gentle giant or a fierce midget? Would he be loyal or a constant traitor? There was something familiar about him. There was a sense of determination, an aura, surrounding the boy. He seemed dedicated to be running about with no light to support him. To do such a thing would require a wolf to know the lands well. With little light, it would be easy to trip and fall. Tripping and falling was never a good thing now was it? He thought about asking the boy for a name but decided against it because they were complete and utter strangers. ?I?m Aquarius Shadowfall, last of the Shadowfall line.? He would introduce a pang of sadness as he brought up being the last one. Sure he had siblings but they would have long since cast aside the Shadowfall name. There had been stories of his siblings hating their father and their name. There had been whispers and rumors that they had dropped the name for another though Aquarius did now know what it might have been changed to. |
