In Character

There were so many things that he wanted to ask her, that he wanted to see in her and know what it was that lurked behind the soft light that radiated from her face. He knew so little about her—her name, her home, her gentle nature—and yet even now he found this was enough to form the bond between them. They shared something unreal, shared the light of the sun and the fire, and held a common ground based in love and responsibility. Gabriel would never claim to love all of Inferni, but it was his home, and he would defend it to the death. He had..no, they had come so far, across those mountains that always loomed at their backs, and he could not recall how long it had been since he had taken up his crown. Two years? Three? His memory was a fickle and peculiar thing, and the moments of black space that circled around his head aggravated the coy-wolf. Things had happened, of this he was certain; but what, exactly, he no longer knew.

She rose to her feet, and Gabriel followed suit. His stomach was filled for the first time in days, and content, an honest smile found itself attached to his face. Slowly, his long legs made their way after her, and he found himself at the smaller she-wolf’s side. “I’ll walk with you some of the way, if you don’t mind.” Behind him, his tail wagged in a friendly manner, and all trace of malice and wickedness had left his scarred and battle worn body. He looked younger then he had in years, as if all the weight he carried on his broad shoulders was no longer present. At least, for now, it wasn’t. The days ahead would bring things to a head, but this morning (turning to afternoon, even as they stood still) was quickly moving along.
