Rancor opened his jaws, as if to give an answer, but only a choking sound came out. His mouth was dry, and no words would come from it. He barely believed his eyes as Mogurew awakened, and had stared in silent disbelief as he attempted to rise -- but failed gruesomely. His eyes seemed unusually large and even more so red, perhaps glowing, even in daylight. If you could only wish for one thing in your whole life, Rancor's had already been spent -- and granted.
His question left a stinging burn inside of him, and at first, he refused to consider why he had acted so naively. But it had been the possibility that his former trainer had come back to find him, somehow, in the same forest. . .Reflecting on this was painful, but not because he longed for the companionship of the human. He had realized how ridiculous his fantasy had been; how he had madly flew off to greet and battle his trainer, to prove that he had only gotten stronger, to show that he could still win.
But now, at this moment, all of that glory faded away. Only the echo of Mogurew's question remained.
"I-" He started, but cut himself off. "I'm sorry," he croaked miserably, and found that he genuinely meant it.

Rising onto my feet, I was left with nothing to
do but accept these inexplicable truths as my last source of comfort.
I wasn't dead. At least, I didn't think so. I don't remember how I got here, or why I came. I could possibly be dreaming, I suppose; that would explain the terribly strange occurrences that haunt every footstep taken in this place. The land itself is disorienting; the scents are dull and I'm beginning to forget things, like my name.
Rylan.
I hadn't lost it yet, the way I have already lost myself, and I can't seem to find a way home. Home. I need to go back, but somehow the task seems impossible. I don't even know which way to walk. I'm tired. And alone. And wet.
But I'm not afraid.➜ Servidae on deviantart.com :: Currently drawing. :: Offline.
