Love Stays Strong As Fire

[Caylis]

Brynneth Sulliveri [Meurtrier]

(I have a question, could Jaaku members go into Flame Grotto too?)

The golden lioness walked into the Grotto with exhausted eyes as she yawned, shivering. She was always cold in the morning, at least in the small cave it was hot as hell. Last night, she was star-gazing with her friends, Balthier II and Circa Da'ei Xemvoi. Later, her mate Icarus of Jaaku approached Brynn; he wanted to see if she was alright and how the love of his life was doing. She wanted her beloved to be here right now, his scent on her fur, his voice whispering in her ear and his gaze locked with hers. She wondered if anyone would come and relax beside her.

An annoyed heave escaped a small black feline, past the comparatively large tail in his maw. The cat was some how dragging the half eaten carcass of some unfortunate female of the feline persuasion behind him. She was many times his size, but he still was tugging her as if she were a mouse. It was a strange and almost frightening sight. For the few who knew him well, this was not uncommon for him in the past. Upon reaching the Flame Grotto, he dropped the tail and caught his breath. Shard to admit that in such a small body, dragging around such weight was quite a bit of work. His eyes spotted a pride member, Brynneth and his muzzle wrinkled a bit. He found her coloration unattractive, but would keep his mouth shut. The cat was not terribly fond of her, as she always seemed a bit rude and excessively used offensive language, much like Heroine. But he enjoyed tormenting and pestering Heroine.

The tail was in his mouth again as he drug the body toward the molten, flowing rock. With a few sharp tugs, the body had entered the lava flow and was on fire, slowly sinking as the putrid smell of burning flesh and hair filled the air. Then he turned his gaze to the other present in the cave. "If I were you, I would not mention this to anyone, miss."

Brynn turned around and tilted her head. "Mention what?" she meowed, she noticed his nose wrinkle. Let me guess, horrible coloration? That's your problem, not mine. she thought to herself. She dipped her head to the small black cat in respect as her eyes were curious about him.

Icarus had a big grin on his face as he saw his mate sitting there with a small cat behind him. A Meurtrier member he never seen before. He dipped his head in respect to the cat as he sat down by his mate, licking her cheek. "Missed me, love?"

Caylis's blue gaze searched the grotto as she approached, she had a smirk on her face as she entered the overheated cave, she bolted over to the edge of the mini lavafall in a heartbeat as she stretched, sitting down after that. She nodded a greeting to Shard as she lay her head on her paws.

A brow rose as the cat regarded the yellow female. Was she being sarcastic? Or had she actually not seen the body he had dumped into the lava? He inched ever closer to the moving rock, contemplating whether or not he would jump in. “Oh dear!” he yelped, realizing he had not drained the blood marrow. While the other two entered, he dove into the molten rock, after the body. Minutes later, he emerged with a badly burned leg. He, however, was fine. “Watch out,” he grunted as he shook himself, sending bits of hot lava about. They were cooling fast, however, so they may have most solidified before they came into contact with anything. He swiftly ripped of the blackened flesh and tossed it into the flowing rock. The leg he had pulled out was easily bigger than himself. Finally, the white bone was exposed. He went to work gnawing on it until it cracked loudly and the marrow filled center was exposed. He started sucking it from the hollow in the bone. It was a bit loud and noisy, but yellow bone marrow was delicious and a delicacy to some.

Brynneth gasped as she looked at him with shock, her eyes widening and her ears flattened. "Should I get help, Shard? I'll go as fast as lightning, I promise!"

Icarus looked at the black cat with horror as he panicked. "Holy shit, i'm so sorry, sir!" His green eyes were slits as he bristled with terror.

Caylis zoomed over to him with her immortal speed, and growled at Brynn and Icarus. "I'm sure as hell he's fine. Now, stop making such a fuss and mind your own business. Correct me if i'm wrong, Shard."

ASESINO DONOVAN

[/i] Murmured the elder scarlet bloodbeast-vampiress as she moved slowly into Flame Grotto. Inside she gazed around and smiled at the sight. Though sight-seeing didn't last long when you weren't alone. She spotted a small cat and three larger beasts. One of which appeared to have abnormally fantastic abilities. Such as fast speed. The other two, however, seemed confused. Or maybe she was looking at them wrong?

"And I'm sure that he need not you defend him." She interrupted with a rough purr of amusement. "I hope I haven't interrupted anything important. I'm Asesino. Asesino Donovan. I doubt any of you know me.. for, well I don't know any of you."[/ul][/blockquote]

Shard’s first response was naught but bared teeth. He pulled his pieces of bone closer to him and placed his claws over it protectively; when unsheathed, these daggers appeared to be at least four inches long. It seemed impossible for such a small beast, as when sheathed, they were not at all visible. “I am fine,” he snarled at both. “Do not jump to conclusions. Besides, were I so easily harmed, I would have been dead by now.” In an exaggerated manner, he rolled his eyes before shooting an even more violent glare at Caylis. “Get away, female. I have no tolerance for freaks such as you so early in the morning. Or coarse language, for that matter.” Unfortunately, it was hard to tell whether or not he was very grumpy and intolerant at the moment or he intended to start a fight. Even the newcomer was not spare from his refined, but harsh words. “I can instruct others to leave me alone on my own, thank you. My mandible is intact and my muscles still contract. Now you resemble most children of the first leader I have met, and seeing as you have his last name, I am sure I have met you. But I don’t always like to make such lasting impressions as I am sure I am making now.” His tone was far from pleasant, and his expression was murderous. Something in his eyes suggested that if he were to act on his aggression, it was likely he would succeed in destroying the Grotto itself.

[Caylis]

Caylis snorted. "Who're you calling a freak? You barely know me. Besides, what's the point of calling someone a name when you hardly know them?" The Hallow growled at the black cat, she wasn't going to let this cat bother her, besides she had enough of this shit, she turned to leave as she zoomed out of the lava cave, going outside. She didn't want to cause trouble, and she wasn't in the mood to start any fights for once.

ASESINO

[/i] She snapped. Whether or not the beast heard her was unknown to the crimson female as she turned to face the cat. "Yes, I'm Dante and KIller's daughter. And from where I'm standing you're not exactly one of proper size to make such threats or push orders around. I was merely seeing that they left you alone. But if you'd rather huff and puff little a little prissy kitty than so be that." She said. Her voice lacked a certain.. emotion. It almost seemed plain, though clearly offended and ticked.[/ul][/blockquote]

Shard felt as if he might be on the verge of a break down. The intelligent, sensible thing to do would be for him to seclude himself and avoid all contact with others. But he was unwilling to do so. Age did not guarantee one would always make good decisions, and his entire life made an excellent example of that. Later on, he would realize he should not have snapped at everyone like he did, but it was not yet of consequence. The female’s words just bounced off him, his unhappy expression unchanged. He just returned to sucking the marrow out of the hollow in the broken femur. He savored its oily texture and pleasant warmth. “Child, have you not yet learned how deceiving looks can be? And yes. Child. My age does not show, but my birth certainly predates your father’s.” He watched and oddly colored snake slither in, and stop right before him. Its body started to collapse in on itself as it decayed and putrefied before him. Was it a vision or a hallucination? He could not tell. No one else could confirm it for him, as it was not real. He was well aware of that fact. He watched a black rose form and within the middle of it, flames began to appear. While he did not know it, he was simply hallucinating. He was thinking these may have been visions sent to him from his vile mother. Voices whispered in his ears, causing them to lie flat against his head. He could barely see the grotto now, his least desired fantasies playing out before him. “No,” he whispered, curling up a bit, making himself as small as possible, and wrapping his tail around him. While he seemed to be looking around the cavern wildly, his eyes had glazed over, showing he was not seeing anything. “Please don’t hurt her… I’ll kill him. I promise. Just… Not her… Mother! Stop!” he screeched, his voice reaching an uncomfortably high pitch and volume. His legs flailed a bit, his claws making little marks on the rock. He was weak at this moment, vulnerable. This was a very minor fit, but there was no telling how long it would last.


(If you must know, he does thing quite often.)

ASESINO

[/i] Asesino muttered beneath her breath. However she did make sure to face him completely in case the small thing should suddenly need her help. She could almost take pity on his pathetic, terrified form.[/ul]
