We've got the right to live, fight to use it
The storm pressed softly at the edges of Deimos’s magic while the bay churned on, indifferent and cold. His gaze drifted across the black sand and scattered ice, taking in the harsh familiarity of it al, taking it in for the kind of danger Halo offered so plainly. It was brutal, yes, but it was honest. You knew when you were at risk. You knew when to stay inside, when to brace, when to fight. "I’m glad Halo’s the way it is." he said after a moment, voice quieter but steadier now. "It’s hard, but it’s straightforward. You don’t have to guess if something’s trying to kill you. You know when you’re in danger, and when you’re not." He shifted slightly, folding his arms loosely against the chill that still lingered despite the shield overhead.
For a moment, he hesitated, jaw tightening faintly as if debating whether to continue. Then he exhaled. "The worst things I’ve seen—or, well, dreamed about—aren’t like that," Marcus admitted, gaze lowering to the black sands, "it’s always the same. White dragons." Despite the shield that kept the rain off of them, a rip of screaming thunder rattled the young hybrid's chest. "That’s what killed my mom." he added, almost as if Deimos didn't know. And, even though those dragon's teeth were in a jar on his father's bedside, there was still a terror in Marcus's bones. "But...I've heard some pretty scary stories too of when there were cannibals in Whitebrim."
