this is the reckoning
No demons here, not for the moment. No shattering of lives. No gnashing of teeth. No torturous, tormenting eaves and halls. Just a world segmented in its veiled folds, with distant lamp and lantern lights, the haze of fires, and the familiar wake of glows scattering along the horizon. Peaceful, in a way. Perhaps that sentiment came with being a larger predator, with the self-assurance and reliance in one’s capabilities. In scorching, in soaring, in becoming bestial and barbaric.
Deimos gave no hint of his thoughts towards the Academy, though his eyes briefly shifted in that direction. Given Zariah’s predilections, instruction, and tutelage, it would be better off as a smoldering ruin. Just a size difference, the Sword proceeded, with information parsing through the various fowl contained within the ramparts of each.
Land sharks, and a solemn nod flickered. On two occasions he’d come across them, and while he’d lived to tell the tales, he certainly did not enjoy their existences. A wave of an image, rather than semblances of emotions, curled through the Attuned bond, so Noah might see one for himself, cast in the wake of the monolith’s memories. Like their sea counterparts, only they rise from the ground. I slayed one to save Zuriel, but nearly lost my arm. And then there’d been the small one that had become Amun’s companion –
All in all, not a favored beast.
