CURIOSITY KILLED THE CAT
& SATISFACTION BROUGHT HIM BACK
& SATISFACTION BROUGHT HIM BACK
It's hard to stay in Tephra when things are this way with Scyla ─ his heart aches for the trauma she had endured, for the way her attacker had portrayed himself as Dahmer. He can't let her live in hiding in her own home, afraid to see him at every turn. Even though her assault had not been his own doing... it had been proffered to her as such, a mirage. The black beast loves his sister and he can't bear to think of the effect that his mere presence has on her now.
And so the Commander, Ellyse's own lover and Advisor, has taken to the Forest for a short while. The air is crisp with the early spring and a shiver runs down his spine in discomfort. Tephra's humid climate has spoiled him. He considers returning to the volcanic island, but perhaps another day away will prove to be beneficial, and then upon his return he can stick to guarding the southern border so that he may give Scyla the rest of the territory to roam without fear of running into him.
He's lost in thought, shuffling beneath the tree boughs when he happens upon the black friesian mare. It takes him a moment to recognize her but when he does, laughter falls from the black beast's lips and he comes to a halt a few yards away, his head tilting to the side as he regards her with ocean eyes. "Jord. You've missed much in Tephra," he offers to the mare playfully ─ the last he had seen her, he had spit at her hooves and left his home, resigned to living by the River.
She had bit him in return before going back to Tephra, and by the time Ellyse had found him and told him of her pregnancy, Jord had disappeared from the tropical land and so they hadn't crossed paths upon his own return. "What brings you back?"
