Horray for Akumu! I'm super glad you're back. :] Gabriel had only been awake for a few hours. He had spent most of this time attempting to stir up and chase down dinner. Even they had become scarce in the plains, chased out by the rain. For the first two hours he had been unlucky, finding nothing but mud and the tall grass, all the while getting closer to the borders and to the forest that had become a necessity. That was when he had startled one, and given chase. This had been lucky, and he managed to take it down quickly. With a few pounds of meat in his belly, the Aquila had been cleaning himself off when Kaena’s voice came. Puzzled, but not surprised, he rose in the twilight and made his way towards the noise. The sun had dropped low in the west, and now only left a dull orange-pink glow in the clouds. Further east, it was dark blue and there nearly black. He found the two further along, his own scarred mother and a young boy—the smell of blood was hanging in the damp air. His eyes narrowed slightly, puzzled, and managed to capture the fading light and glow as he advanced. “I really hope you aren’t bleeding again, Kaena.” |
