DEIMOS
The days seemed to stretch into endless bounties, and then some not at all; time a merciless, confusing thing when the only ambition stoked was the next morning, the next afternoon, the next evening, the next meeting with a friend and compatriot. With no barracks at his back, or beck and call, the soldier only had himself and mercenary means; Zuriel back at their makeshift camp, and Belial ghosting along behind him, together with plumes and wings outstretched against canopies and boughs, before diving into open groves and outlets.
The exchange of warmth was instant, and Deimos would’ve wrinkled his nose (had he not had a beak), at the onslaught of still, humid air. Far more different from the dry, winter complexities, which he’d have to get used to for now (but it still left a hollow sentiment in the back of his mind). Eventually, they landed beside a bridge; and his eagle proportions became human limbs again.
Notes sent and hastened along, there was really only the matter of waiting – for Sah and information – so his gaze went instinctively to the bizarre manifestation before them. No railings. Nothing but altering planks and vines. Bizarre notions sprung through his mind, something like the Bone Bridge in the Grounds feeling safer than these components, but he let it sit, simmering, while the young peryton sniffed at the variety of ferns nestled nearby.
