The dark male threw a quick glance at Roan as they walked through the thick fog. They've been told to search for a purple flower and consume it in order to become one of Morass. Tatsuya was rather confused by the pack's Rite of Passage being the task to find and chew on a damned flower. A fever flu. That's how they referred to it. "Maybe they are just trying to get rid of us by poisoning us." The brute grumbled, trying to pick up some kind of flower scent in this dead land. He didn't mean it serious, while the thought did come up in his head. Perhaps it was a trial of trust. If they trust the pack that the flower won't kill them, or run off foolishly in suspicion of being sent to their own death."Other's fight to death to join a pack- we eat flowers." He added, mainly just talking out his frustration with the whole new situation they were in. It had become clear that Morass is kind of an odd pack, but still on the tougher side of life. So far he hadn't really interacted with anyone expect for the necessary small talks to find out about the rules and ways of their new home.
Tatsuya has also withdrawn himself from his own past. He took his days to mourn, but he wanted to get over it as soon as he could, move on as much as possible after loosing almost everything. Whether that was even possible he didn't know. It has only been days since they woke up in Lunar. But the male definitely didn't want to say a word about his past to anyone. It was over.
[ROAN]
The air was heavy with the fog that surrounded them. Every scent was masked by the ghostly veil. Roan listened in silence as Tatsuya spoke out his frustration. The red lass trudged through the wet grass, her ears flattened against her head as she did so. This damned fog.. after what felt like an eternity of silence, Roan finally spoke. ”Naw come on Tansy, you and flowers go perfectly together.” the lass smirked. What had they gotten themselves into this time?Slowly a sweet and enticing smell drifted towards them. As it hit her nostrils, Roan’s pace slowed and her ears perked up. It smelt delicious. Without even glancing at Tatsuya, the red female picked up her pace once more in search of the enticing smell. Once she reached the source, Roan gently bent down and sniffed at the purple flowers. The fumes swirled around her, gently stroking her face. Why did it feel so real? As if someone really was touching her.. A giddy laugh left her lips as she flopped onto her side.
When Roan suddenly stormed by, not even glancing back the male watched after her with a confused gaze. Until he too caught the luring scent that lingered into the damp air. The scent reminded him of Ceblain's spring and so the dark pigmented male too was drawn to the flower by it's scent and padded after Roan.
Tatsuya reached her by the time she flopped down onto the ground with a giggle and the male lifted a brow. Shaking his head he lowered his snout to the purple flower, not satisfied by the scent only Tatsuya took some petals between his teeth, chewing on them. He didn't stop shredding the plant between his teeth until the mist started moving and the whole place started twisting and turning around him, making the male dig his claws into the ground for a sure halt. "The heck!?" The male huffed, narrowing his eyes at the forms in the mist, jumping back startled when one seemed to try and tackle him. "Ya seen that too??"
[ROAN]
Suddenly the flower was on her tongue and more giggles were leaving her lips. What was going on? The red lass continued to laugh controllably until Tatsuya spoke. With a confused blink, Roan gazed around but saw nothing. The lass swayed as she pushed herself to her paws. ”Woah!” another giggle left her lips. Roan padded up to Tatsuya with a wide grin. The red wolf stood in front of the dark male, her head tilted and that wide smile still present. Lifting her paw, Roan stuck her tongue out in concentration before poking his nose. ”Boop!!” the lass exclaimed, bouncing back and wagging her tail.She felt like a pup again. Roan was just about to pounce on the dark male when something grabbed her tail. With a startled yelp she spun around with her hackles raised. Roan’s wars flattened slightly as she scanned the fog. They were alone, weren’t they? With a soft whimper, Roan stepped closer to Tatsuya.
The male turned his gaze back to Roan as she tried to raise to her paws and stand, "U need any help?" Tatsuya chuckled as she stood on unsure paws, while his own legs have started to feel wobbly.
When she stuck her tongue out the black male furrowed his brows, sticking his own tongue back at the she-wolf. "That's not how ya treat yer Lunaris!" He whined grumpily, his ears falling flat against his skull.
Her yelp sounded more like a monstrous roar of a bear to the male, making him step back from Roan as she approached him, but just a moment after another form in the fog made him step back so the two stood beside eachother. "I officially wanna go home now."
[ROAN]
The lass pressed herself against the male, her eyes screwed tightly shut. ”I wanna fine home Tansy.. take me home..” her voice was barely a whisper as she pressed her flank harder against him. That was until she felt a sticky substance coat her flank. Roan’s eyes slowly opened and flicked towards the male; only it wasn’t Tatsuya that stood there. It was her father.Roan leapt back with a scream. Fear gripped her heart with cold talons. The wolf before her stood with a vicious smirk and a gruesome throat wound. ”What’s the matter my child? You look like you’ve seen a ghost.” Tears unwilling welled in her eyes. No, he was dead. He was dead
”Come no sweetie, aren’t you glad to see your father?” the sickly scent of death surrounded her. Go away. Go away. Go away. the figure moved closer. Roan dropped to her stomach with her paws covering her eyes.
”GO AWAY!” the cry filled the still air. Her chest was rising and falling rapidly as tears rolled freely down her cheeks. Something else was rolling down her face. Blood? Roan had scratched her face continuously, leaving trails of blood around her eyes.
"Not possible- It's gone" The male whispered, his goofiness slowly fading, the twisting of his stomach taking its place.
He made a small startled jump at Roan's scream. "What the hell, stop scaring me!!" Tatsuya grumbled, his every muscle tensing at the way Roan looked at him, with that fear in her orange eyes. He watched her drop to her stomach crying, clawing at her own head as she did so. "Stop it!" The male snapped, almost dropping to the ground as strenght faded from his legs the moment he wanted to go to Roan. The world spun around him, the fog swirling swiftly and with an explosion lightning up as fire, seperating him from Roan. Tatsuya stumbled back, his eyes brigt in terror as he watched the flames in the air. The longer he watched it the more obvious was the form of a wolf behind the flames. And then a familiar wolf stepped through the fire. "Kuro-?" The brute whimpered at the sight of his brother, most of his pelt burned off or caught on fire, blood and a black liquid seeping from his wounds and mouth.
Tatsuya was speechless as he stared into his brother's dead eyes, stepping backwards at every step Kurome made towards him, until he bumped into something. Or someone.
"Son~"
Tatsuya snapped his head towards the voice to see Kirikaze stand behind him, his throat open and bleeding where he years ago made the killing strike.
"Leave me alone!" Tatsuya growled, his tail drawn in and ears flattened as he switched his gaze between Kurome and Kirikaze in panic.
[ROAN]
A laughter filled her ears as she continued to scratch at her head. ”Get out! Get out!” she screeched, her own voice not even piercing the laughter of her father. Then suddenly silence. No sounds could be heard but Roan could see Tatsuya’s mouth moving. Her father was nowhere to be seen. Then a loud ringing appeared and a golden glow spread around her. The scent of smoke filled her nostrils as the world was lit ablaze. No, no not again.. the fire swirled around her, taunting her. It leapt out, threatening to lick at her flanks.”Mother..”
No. God no. Please. Roan’s gaze snapped to the form of her eldest son, surrounded by the flames with a pure look of terror in his eyes. ”Mother please! Mother help me! Mother!” his cries for help stabbed into her, yet she couldn’t move. It was as if her paws had been frozen to the ground. ”Folkvar no! Folkvar run!” Roan was frantically screaming, trying to run to her son. The flames wrapped around him. Roan let out an ear piercing screech of agony as she finally was able to move. As she reached the spot where Folkvar stood, Roan found nothing but a charred patch of grass.
”This is your fault mother. You could have saved us.” his voice echoed in her ears. Roan spun around to try and find him but instead she was greeted with another horrific sight. Each of her children stood around her, their furred burned away and their skin blistered and charred. Another scream left her lips.
”You left us to die!” Folkvar boomed, his empty eyes staring right into her soul. ”No! No I didn’t! I wanted to save you!”
”Liar!” they each screamed, stepping closer in unison. Roan backed away her tail between her legs, but she was pushed back into the centre. She was ultimately forced to curl over and listen to their accusations.
He collapsed onto the ground as his legs gabe in under his own weight. His breathing was rapid, reflecting the panic he was in. For a moment the cracking of fire and the agonal breathing disappeared and there was nothing but silence. The male thought it was over and opened his eyes with a relieved sigh.
Then out of nowhere came multiple soft whimpers that he had not heard for a long time. Turning his gaze he spotted his children snuggled up by his side and sleeping in a pile, everyone on eachother. They must have only been two or three moons old.
Tatsuya's gaze softened at the sight, his heart slowing down for those few calm and missed moments.
But as always, nothing remained peaceful and happy. The fog once again lightened forcing him to squint his eyes.
The flames appeared in the form of a huge wolf this time with Kurome and Kirikaze standing behind it. The creature stepped closer, calling his pups by their names. "N-No" He mumbled as his children rose to their paws, panick raising in his chest once again. Then each of them walked over to the fire wolf. "Stay- no, please, I beg you don't take them!" He cried while trying to push himself onto his paws or crawl after them. "Please!" He yelped as they all disappeared into the fog once again, leaving Tatsuya on the ground, cursing for multiple moments.
Then he stared into the empty fog for a short time before hearing steps. He turned his head to see Roan, curled into a ball. The male didn't know what was going on. All he knew that it wasn't real. But they both were stuck in their own nightmares.
With all his remaining power Tatsuya pushed himself onto his paws, slowly walking over to Roan on unsteady legs, at that time not plagued by anything or anyone expect the ringing in his ear and the sickness he felt, almost making him vomit.
"Roan, listen here!" He spoke, crouching down to the red female. "Snap out of it, it's not real."
[ROAN]
”Liar! Murder! Whore!” the words were chanted over and over again and all Roan could do was listen and scream. Her whole body was shaking uncontrollably as her children now hovered above her. Roan stared up at Folkvar just in time to see him bare his fangs and lunge for her. Then he vanished. Just before his teeth met with her throat everything vanished. All that was left was the blood dripping down her face and the sound of her sobs. Tatsuya’s voice barely registered in the fog of her mind. Roan began to shake violently, her eyes staring at nothing yet were wide open. Her chest rose heavily and her breaths came in short rapid gasps.They were right. They were all right. It was her fault. She should have searched for them longer. Kept searching until she had found them. She was a murderer. She was a whore. She was a liar. She deserved everything that was to come.
She was a monster.
"Come on Roan" He mumbled laying a paw on her shoulders to try and get her to snap out of it at least for a moment, on the other part to support his own balance.
"Brother-" The familiar voice came from behind sounding desperate and terrified. Tatsuya squinted his eyes and grit his teeth, fighting the urge to turn around and see if it's real or not. "Leave!" The brute growled in frustration. From the corner of his eyes he spotted the bunch of purple flowers. It must be that. It must be those plants plaguing them with nightmares. "Roan get up! We have to get upwind!" Tatsuya grumbled while pushing against the red lass, trying to get his snout under her belly to push her up so they could move further from these plants, while trying to ignore his brother's voice calling him.
His mind, for this moment, was clear enough for Tatsuya to know what was going on and that none of this was real. And the only way to get out of this horror is putting distance between the flower and themselves. And if Roan wasn't reacting than he'd try to carry or drag her out of this place- while the success of that was questionable as the large male could barely keep himself on his paws.
[ROAN]
She wanted to go home. To go home. Go home. Home. But her home was gone. Her children were gone. Her everything was gone. Suddenly the haze of her mind subsided and the feeling Tatsuya trying to get her up finally registered. Without a word Roan let the dark male push her to her paw. Her eyes were still open wide and her whole body was violently shaking.Flashes of the fire and her children continued to appear and each time Roan thought she saw something move, she whimpered and pushed herself closer to Tatsuya. Those flowers were evil.
Finally she responded, getting to her paws with his help. Roan pressed herself close to him, which the male used to lead her as he tried to figure out where upwind even was. They way the fog swirled around wasn't making it any easier.
The male glanced around, seeing multiple pairs of eyes in the fog, moving around or just staring. The sweet but fooling scent of the flowers was still thick in the air as the two wolves tried to get away from them. Not even Kurome disappeared as they slowly walked. It was almost as if he was following them. The dark brute grit his teeth, ears falling flat, "Shut up Kuro! Just shut up! You're dead!" Tatsuya growled, trying to focus on the way ahead and not look back, even as the scent slowly started to loose it's strength.</i>
