Death was curled up in a tree, staring into the darkness. His orange colored eyes flickered across the shadows. Verende was dead. Though in four days she would live again due to the spell, he knew she was in pain, and for some reason, it made him unhappy. Though she and Vosro had claimed him the sin earlier, he knew that was who he was raised to be, that was his fate since birth. He twitched his ears, hearing some nearby. Glancing over to Delta, he quietly put his paw over the clompkin, trying to stifle the light, but failing. He frowned, shaking his head. Well he didn't mind too much if he was noticed.

Airaphe, staring down at the ground saw the lights reflection. "Huh?"She blinked, looking up and she tilted her head. "What's that?" Sheasked. Nephiliem looked at Airaphe then up at the trees, she spoted Deaththough Delta's light.
It's a xweetok-- I think I would guess that'sits petpet." She observed, squinting slightly. She disappeared frmAiraphe and reappeared on a brantch above Death. "You're up late." shesaid, making a strange hello like she did with most Xweetoks she met. Airaphe ran over to the tree. She stoped and sat down, staring up Death and smiling a hello.

Hmph." Death muttered, looking over at Delta, "You are horrible at hiding us." Delta chirred, as Daeth sat up, looking upwards at Nepheilem. "So?" He said, tilting his head. He was part of the forest but that didn't make him inclined to be kind to them. He was an antisocial anyway.

Nephiliem made a small snort as Airaphe started at Death for a longtime. "You, don't you stay in the forest aswell?" She asked as her longpointed ears made a slight twitched. Airaphe didn't try to get into thetree since she didn't want to hart herself again after she was thrownoff that cliff. Her wings were damnaged and she was still slightlysore.. "Come to think of it, you remind me of Vosro. Well, your face and wingsatlest" Nephiliem commented as she glanced at delta for a moment.


Death narrowed his eyes and said, "Yes I am from the forest now. And yes I look like him. How do you know of Vosro?" His last statement was more of a snap as he eyed Nepheilem. Delta looked back at Nephielem, his glow growing a bit.

I know a lot of Xweetoks; I met him a while back, when I was stillpart of Airaphe's soul." Nephiliem replied, her eyes were slightlyglaring at Death. She didn't like his personality at all.. Airaphe nodded as she made a slight sigh, looking at their surroundings.

Death snorted. "I'm his half brother." He muttered, glaringly, staring into nothing. Half because I'm a sin's child, according to everyone of the Fauna Siblings...

You're not happy to be related, I guess.." Nephiliem replied, so

hatquietly. She didn't know what happend to her brother after she died.Mabye, he's dead too or hopefully so he wouldn't suffer. Airaphe glaced at Nephiliem as she replied, she became quiet and her tail twitched.

Death snorted, "Not that I'm not happy to be related to him, he's not happy to be related to me. More precisely he hates me." He glared into nothing, twitching.

Pssh, /Hates/? when I saw Vosro, I never thought he could hate,/anything/" Nephiliem layed down as her tail hung from thebrantch, it flicked back and forth every few seconds. "He acted like he knew /everything/ when I saw him a while back in theforest. What kind of family did you guys come from?" Airaphe asked,standing up.

A very special one," Death said, "He must've been connecting to the forest's spirit. Anything the trees could see, he could as well. He's not very nice, really, though. Can't trust him much, not to mention he seems to enjoy calling me the 'Sin'."

Sin-- I don't see why you have it.." Nephiliem replied, as she letherself fall to the brantch Death was on, but she landed on her paws.Nephilem would rather not explain her reason for having that nickname,but if he wanted her to, she would. "What stoped after you were with me, right?" airaphe's head tilted. "Who still calls you that?" "Someone.." Nephiliem replied, looking down at Airaphe before staring off into nothingness.

Death looked over, twitching. "I am the sin, or more competely, the child of sin. My real name isn't Death Hawk. But that is what I have been called. I've never had a real name." He stared into the darkness with a frown as he remembered all the times he lived up to his name.

..I can see why you're so antisocial." Nephiliem replied. "But, mabye,you're just misunderstood." She added, continuing to stare out. Airaphe layed down and rested her head on the grass. She was tired, luck.. you don't need to sleep... She thought to herself, looking at Nephiliem one more time before closing her eyes.

Death snorted, "I could be unlucky, but misunderstood fits as well." He looked down at Delta who glowed brightly as he listened to the two speak.

Nephiliem smirked, "there's no such thing as luck or to beunlucky. As far as I can tell, you're just a misunderstoodXweetok who hasen't found a perpose in life yet." She said, resting herhead on her paws. Her tail stoped flicking and her wings twitched everyfew seconds.

Death chuckled, "I've brought death upon many a village," He said, his voice darker than usual as he stared at the ground with bitterness in his eyes.

I could understand, I used to have a job of killing others for theirsins so others called me a Triger Sin. After that, I was killed and nowI guard almost any species if they skiped their time of death or ifthey weren't supose to die at that time." Nephiliem replied, she seemedto speak of the suject openly. She found it so stupid so others wouldmake comments about her so she could get over it. "Like Airaphe" Sheadded, giving an example to the last part of her explination.

Humm." Death said, "I killed whole villages at a time I'm afraid. And I didn't really mean to. I was just there and then they all died." He glanced at her, wondering how she'd react tot he last part, seeing as he was here now, in the forest.

Nephiliem looked at him. she smiled weakly. "You might not realize whenyou're doing it, you might just not be able to control yourself andjust one second-- everything is turned upside down. I've seen death andbeen though it." She replied.

Death snorted, "I don't kill them directly...I am just there. And they all die. Like that. Sometimes fires, tornadoes, sudden hailstorms, usually nature, but in the end they all die."

Everything and everyone has to die sooner or later, Death. That's howlife works." She tried to stay off the suject of how he would just bethere and everything would just...move on.. She didn't have an answer.

Death laughed very bitterly, "And I just speed it up, now don't I? That is still considered a sin. I can't use magic like my half-siblings, except to summon small bursts of elements, and I was born through sin, my mother ran off with her lover, and she was the queen. Both of my parents were executed, and the village where they left me burnt to pieces. Is that how life works?" He now looked openly angry and frustrated.

That's not your fault. It's called fate and you're not the only onewho has one. /Everyone/ does. For all I know, someone could just comearound and kill Airaphe which kills me off as well, why would ithappen? because it's fate." Nephiliem replied, Death seemed to knowlittle on the subject. She figured he didn't have anyone to teach him.

Death laughed, "Fate. So everyone will die because of fate. That's foolish." He narrowed his eyes, and shook his wings angrily.

Nephiliem shrugged her sholders. "Possibly. I died though fate; pssh, Idied when I was still a kit" Nephiliem replied. "Fate is a scarry thingbecaue you never know when it'll come and make you breakdown..."

Death stood, glaring into the darkness, and hissed, "Fate is just a fool's way to blame what has happened to them." He looked increasingly dangerous, as he leapt down from the trees into the darkness, and turned to glare pointedly at Nepheilem, before Delta propelled himself from the branch towards Death, landing on his back and staying there, turning to watch Nephiliem.

Say what you want, " Nepphiliem sighed as she hoped down to Airaphe.She didn't like how Death was acting, and she felt it would be best tostay neer Airaphe. Nephiliem was cautious that way.

Death said nothing as he stopped, and turned around, quietly. There was a rumble as thunder filled the air, and rain began to fall. He looked up to the sky, his eyes dark. "No." He said, quietly, looking rather afraid. "Not this..."

What's wrong?" Nephiliem stared at Death, he just...changed .. Airaphewoke up as a drop hit her nose. She looked up silently, the sky wasblue just a few moments ago...wasn't it?

Death looked up, "I shouldn't have let my temper get the better of me." He said, narrowing his eyes. He looked back, and yelled, "Get out of here quickly, it will only get worse!" The wind began to whipe around quickly.

Nephiliem looked up at the sky before looking back at Death. "What about you?" She asked, beginning to backup, slowly. Airaphe stood up, she still gazed up at the sky as everything darkened."What's happening?" She asked as she jumped back and her tail lowered.

Death narrowed his eyes, and began to say something, when suddenly he threw himself at the two as a lightning bolt struck down, hitting him in the tail. He snarled, falling, hoping he had managed to get them out of the way. Curse this power...

Airaphe got hit in her ear and she yelped loudly as everything whentblack for a few seconds. She backed away slowly, her body hessitated tomove every few seconds. Airaphe, getting stuck affected Nephiliem as well. Her eyes widdened,as she was in slight shock, but she slowly got over it. "Damn it.." Shegrowled. Looking back at Death. She ran over to him and grabed hisscuff with her jaw and tugged him back a few steps. "get up!" Shegrowled. Sure, it might be diffucult for him amd if anything she'd gethim on her back.

Death got up, and instead of being weak, held himself and said, "Are you alright? I said we have to get away before hail comes!" He looked up to the sky with a piercing look, furious at what happened when he lost his temper at others.

Fine," Nephiliem sighed, looking at Airaphe, then Death again. "Wecould make this a lot easier just by teleporting-- any ideas on whereto go, I'll get us there without hesitation" Nephiliem added.

Death looked upwards, then around, and scooped up Delta who had fallen. "We need to get to a cave of some sort. Any sort really."

Nephiliem nodded, she thought for a moment before closing her eyes andin seconds the ground appeared in a large, deep cave. Bears? Who the hell knew?! Nephiliem was just happy they were out of the rain. Airaphe's and Nephiliem's wings gave off enough light to see. Delta's light had helped too

Death sighed as he looked out of the cave, and frowned. "S-..Sorry." He muttered, narrowing his eyes, "I let my temper get a hold of me and that happened. I hope no one else gets hurt." He looked down, saying nothing. Why must this happen everywhere he went?

Don't worry about it, nonody got hurt badly." Nephiliem replied as shestood on her hind legs and rang out her hair, Airaphe just shook herwhole coat. She seemed fine now. Nephiliem leaned down, back on her four legs and walked over to Death."That's what happens if you temper gets out of hand, I see" "

Death nodded, "And when a village angers me its not pretty." He looked down, and commented bitterly, "Born from sin, and adding to that I'm a living destroyer. What a lovely existance this is." His voice was hissing, but he calmed himself slightly, not wanting to lose his temper again.

You just have to make it better" Nephiliem replied as her eyes began to glow and an Aurora slowly formed in the sky. "But, the waves sound the same...No matter which way blows them."Nephiliem added, her eyes stoped glowing as the Aurora traveled. Airaphe walked over to Nephiliem and lied down, watching the Aurora.

Death looked up, and said nothing as he watched as well, a frown on his face. He shook his head, looking to Delta. "You okay?" The petpet bobbed its head up and down, crawling onto Death and lighting up the cave. Silently, Death lied down, staring into the darkness thoughtfully.

Nephiliem looked up at Delta then back at the Aurora. It seemed to bestaying longer than they usally do. She made a small sigh as she restedher head on the ground and her tail wraped around her. She continued tostare out and her wings rested on her back. Airaphe fell asleep secondsago. She felt safe in the cave so she mannged to sleep soundly. "You said you were related to Vosro; I remember when we were stillmoving away from the forest, a different Xweetok was with him; is sherelated to you too?" Nephiliem asked, her grey eyes still staring ahead.

Verende." Death responded not looking at her, staring ahead his eyes not visible, resting his head on his paws, "Half sister. She's Vosro's brother. Right now...we'll you'll see her soon. She's.." How could he put it? "Kinda dead at the moment."

See her soon? and, she's dead..?" Nephiliem blicked, now she looked over at Death with her head tilted slightly.

She can cast a spell in which she dies and her soul is tortured for a week or less to cure something. A xweetok named Caltoran had lost his voice, she's dead for four days and he has it back." He stared into nothing, saying nothing, closing his eyes though still awake.

She wanted to die..?" Nephiliem stared at the ground. She didn'twant to die, that was for sure, but what was done was done. "Are youokay?" She soon asked, looking back at Death whom was blankly staringout.

Death snorted, "She is going to revive soon. She sacraficed four days of her life." He started slightly at her second question and laid his head down, "Define okay. In retrospect not exactly."

You seem...dazed. As if somethings wrong." She replied, in a small sigh.

Well I bring chaos and destruction onto everywhere I go, I have brought about the murder of whole villages at a time, and now if I don't concentrate I'll probably kill you all too." He hissed, shaking his head swiftly.

Well. Then I wont let that happen." Nephiliem replied, quickly. Airaphe's ears twitched, but all she did was roll over.

Death stood, and was silent, before looking back at her and saying, "And how wont you? I cannot control it and you cannot control me."

I..haven't...I don't know--" Nephiliem closed her eyes tightly. Shewas sick of the shadows, she was sick of the clan members pickingfights with one another. If Death lost control; she wasn't sure whatwould happen next.

Death looked back into the darkness, and closed his eys, lowering his head. "Its better I just leave, hmm? I'll probably just kill everyone anyway. I always do." He looked up, and said lowly, sounding almost tired, "I come all this way to find a reason to exist, to meet my only non-hostile family, Vosro and Verende, and now...Now I risk killing a place I've attatched to. Such is my life, I can't stay anywhere, I can't like anyone or have any friends, they'll always die in the end, almost always because of me." He turned to look at her, "I hurt Airaphe. If I hadn't moved her it would've hit her straight on and probaly killed her. You see?"

you.. act so outcased.." Nephiliem's ears lowered. "I think you cancontrol yourself-- you just need someone or something that makes youhappy. Right now, everything seems against you." Nephiliem added. Sheremained rested on the ground and the aurora slowly died away.

Death snorted, before turning again to the shadows. "I was an outcast since birth. I shouldn't be alive, I shouldn't have been born, I'd like to see someone that could even remotely make me happy. Impossible." He lowered his head, and glared at the ground, "I am after all a child of sin."

Mabye, someday you'll find somebody who'll respect you for who you areand not turn you down for what you've done in the past. " Nephiliemreplied as she stood up and watched him.

Death looked back at her and said, "They will most probably turn me down for what I will do. I cannot control my temper well..." He looked out into the dark, the storm was fading, "I have killed every friend I had..."

It wasn't on purpose though. They'll forgive you." Nephiliem repliedas she finally stood up and walked over to Death, she nudged him andstared out the cave.

Death narrowed his eyes and turned from Nephilien, glaring out of the cave. "...Don't touch me." He said, quietly, his tail twitching as he folded his wings against his back and leaned on the cave wall. He could only trust himself...

Nephiliem's ears lowered, but just slightly as she steped away stillwatching him. She couldn't say much..She didn't know what to say..

I cannot be comforted," He muttered, "Nor do I want to be. I advise you not to concern yourself with me." He lied down, still leaning on the wall, closin his eyes but not sleeping yet.

Just trying to help." Nephiliem replied walked over to Airaphe andsitting down. She didn't remember what it was like to love another, but she knew Death was lost...somewhere here.. More like he didn't understandsomething.
