It was growing darker, the temperature dropping as the sun did behind the horizon created by the still waves of a dark and murky sea. The smell of salt was something the pale golden male was used to, and he'd grown to be calmed by the aroma. The scent, the sounds, the feel of the shore and sea in general had become an escape for the jackal hybrid.
He sat there now, looking out to the vast waters as he allowed himself time alone to think, an almost obsessive habit of his. Eyes closed and body relaxed, Percival Teach ran through the events leading to this very moment, from the time he awoke from his bed, to humming a tune alongside his dear friend, Tobias.
Tunes that then reminded him of other days, other events. Those events leading to other periods of time farther into the hybrid's past, until he was taken back to that one heartbreaking accident...
Percival, help me!
No matter how he tried, he just couldn't reach her. He called out her name. He screamed out, pleading, hoping, praying to a deity who's existed he doubted... But if anything could help her, he would give anything, including faith.
She disappeared for a while... Everything seemed still...
Percival opened his eyes, filmed over with a layer of forming tears as his heart raced. Those memories reopened his wounds whenever they swept through his mind, but the jackal hybrid would have it no other way; those memories were all he had left to hold on to.
Her voice...
He wanted to remember absolutely everything. Though it hurt, he felt that he deserved to relive every painful moment of his sister's death. It kept him going, gave him the motivation he needed to find redemption. If it never came, he didn't care. As long as he never forgot that day for as long as he lived.
...I still hear it.
A heavy sigh escaped him, and he stared out to the sea.
