The Prodigal Brother

~*~ Gargoyle shook his head, letting most of the gibes slide. He knew Rogue was only baiting him for the fun of it. Yet the fun seemed to drain suddenly from the current Chief when Rogue laughed the words about Gargoyle having a "cushy life". Rather like a long-haul vetran, there were some things he just couldn't joke about. When Rogue made himself comfortable with the goose carcuss, Gargoyle sat himself down nearby and cast about for a beginning to his tale. "Well... you know how I went missing in the north...and about how Crusade and...Mom went missing there - though I only found that out when I rejoined Glaciem. Where as Crusade was taken prisoner by the foriegn Far North wolves, I was ripped up and left for dead." he moved over this as quickly as possible but that only made it the more genuine. Indeed, if eyes could see through fur, Rogue would be privy to a maze of scars lashing across the Timber cross's frame. "I would have died too, but by chance I was picked up by a crazy she-wolf who lived in the northern mountains. She was a healer or shamaness of sorts and after months of care I was brought back to myself... at least physically. But by that time Glaciem's first home was gone and everyone had left. I didn't know what happened to all of you. I-I thought you were dead." A tremor of feeling crept into his words. "Loosing you all like that... I lost something in myself. For a long, long time." He shook his head. "I don't talk of the dark days, but eventually I came out of them - mainly thanks to Frisk - you remember our old playmate? Crusade's companion? Well he's my curse to bear now and he's arround here somewhere so watch what you eat." the wry talk of his odd little friend helped ease him back into the present. "By some whim of the gods, we made it to Glaciem's second home - during the rule of Crusade. ...Sis didn't care the trouble I'd gotten myself into. She was just happy to have me back. As she didn't have any pups of her own - she made me heir. When Mt. Animi erupted -(yeah, you missed all the fun, twerp)- and we moved here, I took over as Alpha. I've been fixing up the place as best I can since then. But the eruption took a toll on our numbers - and I'm always looking for a good soul to add to the list." this last remark was given with a meaningful look to his wandering brother, but he didn't dwell on it. "So much for my half - what of yours? I haven't seen you since you were fawn sized!" ~*~ ~Don't want to let you down, but I am H.e.l.l.b.o.u.n.d.~ |
