Maea
What you're given, what you live in
Darling, it finds a way to live in you
Darling, it finds a way to live in you
Lilies, roses, or something to take out frustrations on; at this point, Maea wasn't picky. It was becoming a habit to retreat to the Climb whenever she felt at a loss for direction, as though the fiery landscape provided her a reset point from whence she could regain her bearings. She prowled the dark tunnels of the Burrows in her molten tiger guise today, in no mood to strike up conversation yet too restless to just sit and brood. Normally the hot springs would provide a nice break from the dark and fiery streams of lava - but it hurt to see them, now that she was here without Liam.
Funny, that, how quickly she'd gotten used to having him around. Now his absence chafed more than his presence had before she learned to trust him, rubbing raw a spot close to the heart she'd thought too hardened to hurt anymore.
Padding past some visitors that murmured to each other in hushed voices, swatting aside a rock with an irate swipe of a paw, she didn't notice Noah until she was nearly upon him. Slowing into a near stop, the tigress considered just passing him by - and might have, if a deeply unpleasant pang of Void aura hadn't set her hackles rising.
In a heartbeat she was by his side, tail thrashing testily while pale golden eyes searched the shadows for the source of the taint. She could feel a menacing gaze, and not until the third time her eyes passed over the rock formation did she spot it - a Shadow Serpent, perfectly disguised against the dark rock and poised to strike.
Shadow Serpent (Uncommon): Once a Rock Slider, the Shadow Serpent now moves with an eerie grace, its scales tainted by void energy. It lurks in the shadows, ambushing prey with a venom that induces hallucinations and despair.

And your heart, love, has such darkness
I feel it in the corners of the room
I feel it in the corners of the room
