    prompt ::

    Every breath that left his body felt like the next intake was a million miles from his grasp. His lungs ached with every gasp, every simple attempt to keep going feeling like his heart was about to give out and lay him to sleep. His red hot anger, the fuel that fed his actions, was fading with every passing second, the darkness at the corners of his vision filling in at an alarming rate.

    He didn't want any of this. Never wanted one shred of it.

    For a moment, he recalled the meadows of his childhood, of the wildflowers and the butterflies that frequented there. Memories of his mother, of her sweet smile filling the space between them as she held him close, rang out in his mind like a siren's song. He felt his heart drawn toward it, feeling close enough to reach out and just take her hand once more. He opened his mouth to speak, wanting nothing more than to plead for her forgiveness. She told him he would do big things one day; he may even change the world, if he tried hard enough. Yet here he stood before her with nothing to show for his own worth.

    No flowers clung to his hands as they once did as a child, nor did the dew of the early morning glow in his gaze like stars in the night sky. All he had to bare was the color red. It was everywhere, clinging to him like a nightmare he couldn't wake up from. It painted his clothes, his hair, his smile and his eyes.

    "Where did I go wrong?" he begged, the words finally croaking out. "What happened to me?"

    She didn't answer. She only watched with that same warm smile etched on her features, the one he saw just about every day of his childhood. Standing up from her place in the meadow, she walked up to him, wrapping her arms around his form without hesitation. Within seconds he began to weep, his body shaking with every emotion swirling in his heart and mind.

    "Remember, my love..." she whispered soothingly. "You can choose your own destiny."

    Just as he was about to reply, everything instantly vanished, the memory of her comforting hold leaving him back in the cold darkness of reality. He blinked away the tears that still threatened to spill, his teeth clenched in a sudden resolve. The weapon in his hand clattered sharply to the ground as he took in a deep breath, the first one in what felt like years.

    He felt... free.

    "No more! I won't fight anymore!" he called out, his voice ringing into the arena. Devon found himself in that moment, found his strengths and his every weakness. The nightmare was finally breaking - leaving him feeling almost light. Before he even knew it, he was smiling, his breath growing easier by the second. The sounds of the crowd's upset fell upon deaf ears as he looked up at the night sky, his gaze falling on the moon shining overhead.

    No matter what happened to him after this, he knew one simple thing to be true: he would forevermore choose love, mercy and peace. No longer would he be a gentle giant disguised as a beast.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
"I love my people more than the burden of the throne, and it's because of that love that I will never cease to fight."
--------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Stringed instrumental music filled the night air, as the full moon's luminescent light reflected over the pristine waters of the Oasis. Lifting his head to the sky caused the gold of his earrings to make a satisfying clink as they swayed against his jawline. Letting out a content sigh, Bow gently shifted back more into the cushions that decorated the floor, his gaze slowly shifted from the diamonds that painted the sky, to the warm atmosphere that surrounded him, more specifically, the warmth of the people that surrounded him.

Here in this very place, it was warm, it was safe, but most of all it was peaceful. It was a place that Bow loved, a place he was happy to oversee, to live, to breathe.

Bow has always been a lover among the fighters, and here in these Arabian nights was where he truly loved to be, among the people, among the music, among the stars. If he could, he would freeze time right where it's at, right to this very second, simply freeze time and take the photo, keep this happiness, this peaceful warmth, keep it right where it's at, right in his grasp, right in his mind's eye.

If only he could hold possession of the properties of a magic lamp, he would only use one wish, one wish to freeze the rising of the sun, stop tomorrow from coming, anything to keep this joy that he felt, to keep this peace, to stop what awaited him upon the sunrise.

Though the gold he adorned were beautiful and shimmered like the sun, each garment, each sash, each ring, was like another weight added to his body, a burden he could never shake. They were a constant reminder, a reminder that ever since the day he was born, he was raised with the single purpose to one day inherit the kingdom that his family spent years building and establishing, that upon his duties he would one day take over the throne, to bear the responsibility that this gold held.

Each day was a battle, a mental fight of responsibilities that he carried, the responsibilities of holding the lives of so many in his own hands. Each day was a constant fight, a fight to keep his head held high no matter the weight that was placed upon him, to bear whatever was thrown at him, to brace for any necessary battles that may come, anything if it meant the protection of his people.

Bow hated the throne, but he loved his home, the land, and the people more than anything. This gold is a burden and it forever will be a burden, but it's his burden and it's one that he'll fight to protect.

So until the day that the sun rose upon his face and a new title is bestowed onto him, Bow will sit, not as a royal, not as the son of a rich family, but as a man. He will sit and listen to the music that filled the air, relish in the warmth of his people, and watch on as the moon shown, overseeing the cool desert.

If he could, he would chose the life that he had in these moments. Unfortunately, he was born into the role of a fighter, a fight in his own self and the gold that he bore.
But if it meant for a better tomorrow, then a fighter he shall be.

I tried so hard to draw the kalon but after 4 failed attempts, I went with a human version, and made the horn be the symbol on the shirt (part of the pun heuheu)! Hope this was okay, as I reallllly don't think I should show the failed attempts at drawing the kalon as a fighter.

Red letters = red cape that makes bulls "fight" to tell that this humanized kalon is a fighter! <3

username + number :: Sobble + 918599
kalon name :: Teno
prompt ::
Teno lives in a world constantly out to get him. If it wasn’t the monsters, the plague, or the withering of crops and the miasma that seems to hang heavily on the shoulders of everyone in contact with it… it would be easy to lose your love for things after watching peers and close friends succumb to desperation. It might be easier, Teno would be the first to admit, to resent the world that he finds himself in now; to give in, like he’s watched so many others do, and resort to trickery and malice to get by.

But, Teno would ask those who know him, when has he ever done things the easy way? What use would it be to give up, how could he be there for the people whom he still loved, who needed someone to support them? It doesn’t matter how hard things get, Teno is stubborn, and he doesn't see any good sense in giving up. Instead, he fights in his own way.

Kindness. Teno chooses kindness, day after tireless day. It hurts, aches even, to be kind to kalons he knows won’t be able to change, who would turn him over to monsters just for a bite to eat. That’s ok. He’s tough. He’s spent years picking himself back up, driving back the villains at his home’s heels, and endlessly pouring over literature to find some way to beat back the sinister fog trailing through the land, sapping strength from its heart. When a kalon crosses him, it won’t be the first time it’s happened, and he knows not to hope it's their last.

Teno, instead, forgives them. Vows not to leave them in crisis, to gently prod them back into normalcy. No matter how many times it takes. He will continue to fight for his home, his friends, and that starts with the kindness and earnesty of forgiving someone for acting out of desperation. Teno fights so the vice grip of despair will loosen, inch by inch, until he doesn’t have to defend the world alone again.
