The Immortals' Realm Unleashed *Accepting*

"Why not?" The Shadow Wolf chuckled, nodding. "All will be better when Tristan returns, the two of you reunite, and he - hopefully - explains why he acts the way he does. He may even own up to what I just told you, but I doubt he'd speak of it again." he said, rising onto his paws.

[Lilo.]

"Yet I had to speak of my incident with Alix?" Kadina shook her head, slightly disappointed in Tristan, through what the Shadow Wolf was telling her, but she pushed it aside. "A few days away from each other might give us time to clear our heads, and being close to death for Tristan might give him chance to clear his head. Unless I see something, I am not going to speak of Tristan at all."

"That may just be true. Near-death incidents quite often bring a person to really appreciate what they have." The Wolf replied. "However, it could just be true that he may get a little too close to death. Darien himself won't go that far, but the rest of the League... Well, they can be very harsh, even the members who do not travel with the League. Yes, it is true - The High League is much more than the members you see. They are merely the strongest, the leaders, the greatest, the most powerful... Really, the League consists of hundreds of other members nobody ever sees or hears about."


((Should we do a timeskip to when Tristan returns? I'm excited to play out the scene I had in mind c:))

[Lilo.]

[Yes can you do it? o3o
Kadina could still be back at the lake with the shadow wolf and then you play your scene :3]

((Oooh awesome! I'm so excited!))


The sunlight bore down upon him, burning his eyes. Tristan squinted, having been so used to the darkness... He awoke to find himself in a meadow, one that he recognized. Of course they had blacked him out again - They didn't let anyone but their own ranks know the location of their headquarters. Scars covered him, blackened bruises spangled across the length of him. A scar slashed upon his right eye, marks covering his bare back that looked as though they came from some sort of razor-like whip. Cuts flickered here and there, blood still evident. Bite marks that looked as though they were from some sort of gigantic, monsterous creature. All in all, he looked utterly beaten and desperate. Until you saw his face. His jaw set, locked in a grim frown, his eyes with an unbelievable strength in them that, after all he'd obviously been through, still read a simple message - Bring it on. While that was seen, his whole look suggested that he hadn't had enough to keep him from being cocky, his entire being saying challengingly, "Is that the best you've got?" He hadn't changed much, apart from appearance. Still as attractive as he was before, but with a more dangerous, mysterious, strong look to him. He rose, rolling his muscular shoulders back, and trying to grasp his bearings. He was in the meadow that he had loved when he was a much younger vampire. It was only five or six miles from his home, he knew. But that was not where he was headed. He was headed wherever Kadina was. The worst pain that befell him in that terrible place was the heartache he felt from being away from her. He was off like a bolt of lightning, shooting toward where every fiber of his being pulled him - Where he knew she was. But he knew he could see her just yet. He could not just go find her. No, no matter how badly he wanted to, needed to, he must return to his family first. Shutting the door behind him, he caught the relieved, affectionate, loving stares from his family members, who remained silent since they knew it was better to leave him be for now. He simply jogged up to his room, took one look at the picture of he and Kadina, and felt the ache in his heart maximize by a million. It was physically painful now, sending a horrid burning through him. He bit his lip, knowing that he wouldn't be able to fight the need much longer. In a mere second, he had lept out the already broken hall window, and was racing toward where he knew she was.


The Shadow Wolf's head snapped up. A proud smile laden upon his face, he watched the opening to the waterfall, waiting, simply waiting for what he knew would arrive soon. "He's coming." he said simply, knowing Kadina would instantly know exactly what he meant. After that he was silent, staring out onto the opening, waiting for his eyes to fall upon the proud, strong stature of the young man he knew so well.

[Lilo.]

"T-Tristan's coming home?" Kadina said it with disbelief, still kneeling down the water's edge. For the last few days she'd been a wreck, she hadn't even bothered to look nice. But today she'd known, would of been different, so she'd got herself looking nicer than the days before just in case he did come home... alive. She stood up, turning around to where the wolf was looking. Even his scent was enough to make her yearn for the comfort of his arms again.

The Wolf nodded. "He's returned." he said, his gaze never wavering, trained on one exact spot. "I have one warning, though - He will most likely not look very well. The torture of the League - if not fatal - leaves a brutal mark. He will most likely be quite scarred, bloodied, bruised... And perhaps worse."

Tristan's figure became visible on the horizon. Moving slowly - even for a vampire - he reached a short distance, about a meter or so away, before he stopped. He raised his eyes, pain and suffering so obvious in them, almost obvious enough to tell a small portion of the story of what happened, but not exactly.

[Lilo.]

"Tristan!" Kadina almost screamed but she kept her voice down- she didn't want to attract attention. He looked as if he'd only just scraped getting out there alive. Swiftly, she raced towards him but stopped before she hugged him- she didn't want to hurt him any more than he already was.

Tristan offered a small, wavering smile. He moved forward a step, pulling Kadina into his arms, his embrace warm and tight, as though even loosening his grip the slightest would allow her to slip away. Sure, he was in immense pain, and the hug wasn't helping it, but he didn't care. All he wanted was to be relieved of the only pain he couldn't deal with - The pain of being away from the one he loved. "I love you more than I can even begin to fathom." he whispered. The words were simple, modest, yet filled with so much love, adoration, and passion that they alone sounded like a breathtaking serenade straight from the lips of Shakespeare.

[Lilo.]

Kadina, not being the smartest kid on the block, tilted her head in slight confusion. "Fathom?" She questioned with a laugh, it sounded like something from Shakespeare, but she pulled back from the hug slightly. "I know you've only just come home, and it's a bit awkward for us, but the Shadow Wolf..." She kept her voice a lot lower now as she whispered this to him. "Told me there's a reason for all this. The way you are. All he told me was something about a death."
