He headed toward the southern coasts now that there was a break in the winter storms. Something told him his sister was out there somewhere, but he wasn't sure where she might be. He figured he might as well start somewhere, so the black sand beach would be his starting point. He walked across the shore, the ocean to his right and inland to his left. He was bruised and sore from a handful of fights he'd had lately. He had been trying to hone his skills, trying to practice so he wasn't constantly feeling like he was floundering about while trying to find his way.

The sun was barely rising above the horizon, throwing various colors into the sky. He'd been walking for the better part of the night and finally decided to stop and rest. Pulling off the temporary pack he had slung across his back, he set it down beside him and watched the sun rise.

It was high time that Lurid started to explore more of Boreas than just the northern territories, Requiem was right. She would never fully recover from her illness unless they found somewhere else to live. It was time to abandon ship, so to speak. With a sad huff of her crystalline breath, Lurid set off for sightseeing. Her search for her sister continued as she went, hunting Atropos as if she were a common deer. Still, she came up with nothing. Lurid had kept a southern trajectory as she made her way through the lands for perhaps the first time since she had landed on the northern shores of Boreas. Each time she left a territory without Atropos being found, her anger mounted and climbed until she was seething with angry worry. It was the worst sort of anger, one that wound around her heart like a boa constrictor.

Here in the south, Lurid found herself empty-handed once again. This time, red crept into the edges of her vision and she couldn't hold in her rage any longer. Black sand shifted beneath massive quartz white paws, the ocean racing up to kiss the feet of the moonlit goddess. The sun had just barely begun to climb into the sky, but the peace of the morning was about to be interrupted. "Atropos!" She roared the name on duo vocals, hoping like hell she had been heard by the little purple witch. The form that greeted her holographic white-to-lavender gaze was not that of her sister, however. Suddenly, she was moving toward the dark shape on the horizon at a lope. then a run.

No, he was not Atropos. He was not her sister and he would pay for it! How dare he interrupt her investigation by taking a stroll down a very beautiful beach at sunrise! How dare he try to exist in his own world, not caring if her sister was coming back or not. He was a stranger who wouldn't know what he had done, but Lurid would make him regret coming here. Massive paws slapped against wet sand and water splashed as she moved quickly to cover the distance between them. Rocketing toward the darkly colored male, the ivory devil had rage in her eyes. A banshee-like scream was the only warning he would get as she drew closer to him, aiming to tackle the stranger off his guard. She would destroy him for being here when her sister should have answered her call.

OOC: It wasn't meant to be this way, I'M SO SORRY!! He got a bad roll -hides-

It was peaceful here. Oddly enough, he thought so. Unfortunately, his peace was short-lived. Over the din of the ocean, he thought he had heard something in the distance, but wasn't quite certain and chalked it up to the seagulls or something. In a matter of moments, he really did hear something this time. A voice enraged, full of anger and screaming at...him? He turned just in time to see a larger she-wolf running full pelt at him, and he barely had time to react as he whirled to face her, digging in his heels as she collided with him. "What the fuck!" He snarled as his head turned toward her, jaws snapping in an attempt to grab her face in his own jaws. Sand kicked up around them, and he sought to try to use some of this to his advantage. He swiped a paw up as he tried to kick sand toward her face in a further attempt to distract her.

Who was this crazy bitch and who the fuck pissed in her drink!? He couldn't recall ever seeing her before, and he briefly wondered if he had done something to her in the past...or maybe Aerie did? Hell if he knew. All he knew was that she was attacking him, and now he had to try to fend her off.

Lurid tackled him, but he was ready for her, digging in his heels as he met her attack. He countered her with a painful bite to her face, making her growl madly, though the sand to the eyes nearly got her. Backing off, Lurid roared once more then charged directly at the shorter male. Aiming her teeth this time at the left side of his face where the cheek met the ear, she attempted to spin her body to be parallel with his where she would shake her head and teach him a lesson. He would never interrupt her again, his presence here was unwanted and she would show him how she dealt with those who trespassed against her. Plus she really needed some tension relief. Atropos had been missing for far too long.
