OLD DEMONS NEVER VANISH

Her brother greets her companion with a quiet hello, and the carmine beauty shifts her gaze toward Marco to momentarily appreciate his presence. He was there to assist her in defeating all foes, and he looked pretty intimidating standing beside the red devil. Solo moves forward to close the distance between them, his eyes focusing on her again as he tries not to stare at Marco. A soft smile creeps across her impassive features as Solo gently touches his nose to her cheek, and she attempts to lightly kiss him on his cheek with a quick swipe of her toungue. Although they have been separated for a few seasons, she still loves her younger brother dearly- even though he had ignored her invitation. 

The goddess is taken back into reality when her brother responds to her question about his... princess.. and she stares at his with wide eyes. She does not understand how he could care for someone that he had been forced to pair with, but then again, she loved Artemis, and they were a wacky pair themselves. "As long as you are happy Solo, I am happy... although my approval will be hard to grant. I didn't want you to leave in the first place. " She scoffs lightly, she remembers the day he was taken away from their family to be sent to live in some far away place. She had gotten in a fight with Hestia that day. It is weird how fast time passes, it seems like only yesterday he was being paired up with this princess. 

"Sorry Fia but... I can't really leave..." The serpents eyes glaze over with devious intent as her dear brother says this, the fur along her nape and spine starting to stick straight up. What was he saying? Was someone holding him prisoner? Instead of asking him questions she remains silent and listens to his entire story, rage festering beneath her hardened gaze. So he had gone through some hell because of this girl? Pitiful. When he mentions his princesses abnormality, she can't help but quirk her right brow in surprise. Blind? The girl he is going to marry is BLIND!? What a disgrace! And although she desperately wants to rip him a new asshole for agreeing to marry such a burden to his life, she refrains. Now is not the time to judge her brother because of his decision, it is time to get him out of that hell hole. 

"Solo, if you do not wish to stay with this woman, or your... lady's family, I can give you refuge. If a fight is needed to win your freedom than so be it. I am.. allys (dont say lovers!) with a very powerful woman, Solo. I have not seen her lose a single fight, no matter how strong or large her foe is. She is a force to be reckoned with..." Solo probably remembers Artemis since she had stolen Fia, but then again he had been gone for so long it might have slipped from his memory. "And as for Apollyon... I gained it through this woman I speak of. She has a lot of faith in me, and I have put all my faith into her. She gave me her crown and let me rule with an iron paw!" A single ebony dipped paw lifts from the earth and slams down upon a perfect leaf beside her leg as she says this. She was one hell of a ruler, she had just started to build her pack into an empire when the illness struck. "But... nature had other plans for me. I became very ill, and my members... they all vanished. When I returned after weeks of solitary confinement there was nothing left of Apollyon. Not even Arisu had stuck around to wait for my return..." Volcanic orbs trail toward the mutilated leaf at her paws, anger seething from her pores, her eyebrows narrowing as she glares at the pieces.  "I will get it back though Solo. We will have a home again." Her eyes trail upward to fall upon her brothers mismatched gaze as she says this, determination present within her tone. No matter what it would take she would find her family a home again.
