A dangerous place, a place to turn away. This wouldn't scare the woman. She lived in fear her whole life. A couple of alligators wouldn't threaten her. She walked the marshy wetlands of this territory, vaguely remembering coming through here near her second birthday to be taken away in the battle field. The Battlefield is what truly scared her. Sometimes it was because of the fighting but it was always because of Natalya.
"You still haven't moved on? I've been here to see you through all of it."
She halted, her chin pointing down to the ground. Her mental breaks were much less now a days, spending so much time learning how to block Charon out. Or at least try and ignore him. She still thought that maybe one day there was a trick, a spell, some sort of sorcery that would kill him forever. And she would finally be able to live a carefree life. She was a beautiful woman, blinded eye and all, and she could have had a wonderful life along side her mother.
The man was to be a father soon… news that, truthfully, had him nervous and excited. Of course he’d known from day one what he was doing. He was hoping to build a family with his lover, with Shiki, and teach raise their new little ones together. Young Adravendi children… the thought made Thanatos proud. Maybe his adoptive mother wouldn’t have agreed with everything about the relationship… but surely she’d be proud of him for raising a family? For being willing to protect those he cared for?
Poe was with Shiki, sticking close to his beloved and acting as a messenger between the two whenever Thanatos went on his hunts. Generally he wouldn’t have come to such a place as this… but a scent had distracted him away from his path.
Chione’s scent.
He hadn’t seen his sister in quite some time. They were hardly close… but something told Thanatos to seek her out. A caw from overhead told Thany that Poe was winging down to him. The raven came to settle on the ground near the brute, speaking up in an excited voice. “Have you caught her scent?” The raven asked, obviously speaking of Natalya’s young. It did his heart good to see that there was more than still Thanatos about… and that soon there would be a new generation.
Thanatos gave a firm nod. “I have…” His slow drawl escaped him, eyes lifting towards the direction he had scented Chione. “Go to… Shiki… I’ll… be back…” The brute lifted his head with a sigh, setting off to find his adopted sister as Poe took towards the air once more.
It didn’t take Thanatos much longer to find her. She had come to a stop, gaze towards the ground, and the brute cleared his throat, attempting to get her attention. But the question was… did she even want to see him?
Chione lifted her head to see someone who she herself hadn't cared much for in her youth. She envied Thanatos and his siblings for taking her spot in Natalya's heart. Of course she caused her mother to disown her but it was something she never truly understood and felt an enormous amount of jealousy towards.
Well not today. Looking at the man before her, she lowered her eye back to the ground, blushing to his appearance. Her head turned slightly to hide her blind eye in which he was very well aware of but she still saw shame looking at him.
"Thanatos... I..." She was at a loss of words, unaware of how he may have even felt about her now. "I don't know what to say."
"Rip out his throat darling, make him bleed to death."
Charon's words would make her struggle and on the verge of crying. She could have become closer to these children; cared for them. But she was a lost soul at the time and eventually it was revealed at her maim. She could have a relationship with the man now, it may have just taken some time to get to know him again.
