[[Muahahahaha lame title!!!!!]]
Zelanithus sat outside watching the sun over head as the sky gave off bright colors of the rich fruits around him.
There were many mangos and oranges, as it was the proper season. He enjoyed the feel of the sun on his fur, but longed for music. He could place what he wanted, but he knew the music he heard from the other malu in the 'music' wing of the temples was nothing of what he craved.
Their music was also very melodic and slow, in basic terms, elegantly beautiful. But not what he wanted.
He instead let his thoughts drift to when he was a small child, even though he was hardly full grown he still felt much older than the little wobbly baby he had been.
He didn't remember much of how he got to this place that has since become his home. Most of what he remembered was colors. Colors that matched his own, and others that matched the citrus fruits around him.

Synapse started on his way out of the temple, trodding past the many passage ways that lead to rooms devoted to individual gods and goddesses.
He was leaving after a short session of silence with the God of Citrus. He felt the same though, for some reason. Still part empty. Still alone in some respects.
He was approaching the door, stepping into the light shining through. The warm, worn marble beneath his paws.
He paused at the entrance, taking in the fresh smells around him and the crisp cool air. He let out a loud sigh.

Zelanithus allowed his gaze to stretch out to the area around himself and took in the sites. The desert just beyond the green. The beautiful green that all the malu seemed to enjoy for the most part. He knew the only reason such fruits and trees existed here was because of the power of their thoughts.
He wondered how he could get his thoughts to produce the music and power he craved, but nothing could come to mind.
He looked up and at the fruits grabbing at a low branch the was heavy with fruit pulling one of the rippened mangos off and biting into the pulp.
Even though the day was lovely there were hardly any malu nearby. Though he did sense someone. He didn't know who it was, and couldn't place where they were... But, there was a familiarness about it. Like he knew this person, but he hardly knew anybody which was strange.
He didn't do much about it though, and figured it might be his nerves. If this other malu felt the same vibes, well, it could be that malu's decision to come and chat.

Synapse suddenly gelt a pang in his mind, in his heart.. he didn't know which. Infact, he didn't knwo why. He directed his view toward a young malu sitting beneath a tree with glorious ripened fruit. A new friend? he thought to himself innocently.
Quickly he padded over to the tree and the Malu, the strong fruity scent filling his nostrils and lifting his heart.

Zelanithus looked up from his spot and stopped eating, licking some of the juice from his lips.
Rather than say anything he looked at the malu for a few minutes taking in as many details of this malu as possible. Why did it seem so familiar?
Something caught his eye, due to this other malu's position, however it was only a speck and he could not confirm anything till the other changed position.
What he noticed was...two wings? If so, it would be the first malu he had come across that had the distinctive duel wings like he did.
What was even weirder, the colors seemed to match his own.
One thing he did know for sure, the tuft of bright yellow green hair on the top of his head was almost perfectly identicle in coloring to the tuft of hair on this malu's head!

Approaching this other Malu, Synapse noticed first how brightly colored his coat was. Synapse knew no other Malu with bright, glowing coats like his own. WHy ahd he never met this malu before? Where was this Malu from? So many questions came to mind as he came within feet of this other.
Syn looked up at the fruit above their head, before looking back down at the Malu and speaking in his bubbly tone, "Hello! I'm Synapse! But Karma and Citrine and everyone else usually call me Syn," he pasued momentarily. "What's your name?"

Zel's ears swivelled back in distaste for the very bright and cheery voice, his lips pursing to one side. He caught himself though and returned his ears and mouth a relatively normal stance.
He bit into the fruit once more taking a bite before looking back up at the oh so enthusiastic malu. He hadn't the faintest idea who 'Karma' or 'Citrine' were, but didn't say anything of this either. Instead he decided to remember the name and process the sound on his lips.
"..Synapse..." He said softly. This seemed familiar aswell...Why? Why couldn't he remember?
"...Oh right...Name's Zelanithus." Well, his akward introduction of his name was over and he honestly had no idea where to go next. The confusing thoughts bubbling in his head was hard to sort through and it didn't help that this malu held the same feels but was on a much more bubbly and optomistic feeling.
The guy was practically oooozzzzzing happiness. Yet, again, some-how, this felt common place, familiar.

"Hi Zelanithus! Did I already say my name's Synapse? Well... it is."
Synapse walked carefully, but quickly, around the other malu and the tree. This malu seemed farmilar. Just his mannerism of sitting below the tree, eating fruit, it reminded Synapse of when he was a young child, what he sued to do. "Do you like fruit?" Synapse asked calmly. He had a great deal of respect for anything that related to his God, and could talk about it for a long time.
"I'm fol-" He noticed that the other malu had two wings. "Woah, you ahve two pairs of wings, Zelanithus!... ME TOO." Syn spread his black demonic wings and his brightly colored cupid wings out in opposite directions, showing them to Zelanithus. Giving Zelanithus another look over, he noticed they had many of the same attributes, the both had horns growing in, and hair too. What a find! Synapse thought to himself, Another handsome malu!

He nodded quietly.
He watched Synapse walk around him, following him only with his eyes. He finished the fruit leaving nothing beyond a stem and seed.
"Fruits fine." He liked fruit, but then again, it was what he grew up on, as far as he could remember.
He looked at Syn and had his suspicions confirmed. They both had the same wings. That couldn't be coincidental. Same hair color, wings...
There had to be some connection. He knew what he wanted to think, but it couldn't be right.
How come he didn't come across this malu earlier? He couldn't really think of anything to say.
He stood up and looked at the other malu in confusement. He didn't like being confused!

Syn stopped pacing as Zelanithus stood up, a befuddled look on his face. "What's wrong? Did I say something? I hope I didn't say anything. Did I offend you?" He gave Zelanithus a worried look for a moment.
This moment passed very quickly, and Synapse resumed his normal bubbly personality.
"So, where'd you grow up? I spent a lot of time when I was younger eating fruit. I don't really remember my parents. I do remember fruit though! The fruit was good! I don't think my parents were around much..."
He paused for a moment, "Yeah, that's pretty much my history in a nutshell. We look alike, it's kinda cool!" Synapse bounced from his left forleg and hindleg to his right foreleg and hindleg, unable to stand still for more than a moment.

Zelanithus had his suspicions but felt that inspite of all the connections half didn't want it to be true. This guy was way too different from him in personality for them to be....dare he even think it? ...Related?
He knew such things like hair color and wings often passed down from parents to children or something of that extent. At least they could be cousins. Maybe. But that seemed unlikely.
"...Not really. Just thinking." He said finally after the other malu gave his entire history in a nutshell.
"Here." He said plainly in reference to the malu's earlier question. He wasn't all that much for talking unless it was necassary, or relevant.
What really had him in a pinch was how to confirm this relative problem. One, where they actually related, and two if they were what was he going to do about it?
"You don't think it's weird...? That we look similiar?" He looked at the other malu with the pose and seriousness that looked akward on one of his age.

For the first time, Synapse was somewhat baffled and utterly speechless. He did think it somewhat strange that they resembled one another... But he couldn't make anything of it... ... could he?
"Well, uh, yeah, I guess it's kind of... intriguing." He pawed at the ground nervously.
"You don't think we're related?! I mean... do you?"
He never knew of any brothers or sisters... but he was also never told that he had none...

"I have to see, I've spent a good deal watching the other malu around here. Out of them all, I haven't seen any others with two sets of wings. Except for you and me. Ontop of that, both sets of our wings are colored the same. Along with the top of out heads. Beating around the bush on such a fact is foolish."
He looked aorund. It couldn't be true. At least, not till it was proven. But how in bloody hell does one prove another is a sibling?
They OBVIOUSLY had no parents to tell them. He didn't remember any parents beyond the faint memory of his mother's warmth before she left him. And from what Syn said himself, he doesn't remember any parents either to alert him of any siblings.
Hell, for all Zel knew he could have several hundreds of siblings running around somewhere! Well, maybe not that many....

"Yeah, that would be pretty silly. But how do we find out!? I don't know of my parents. What about others? Do you have any brothers or sisters that you know of?" Synapse began slurring his words as this excitement was unbearable. "What about aunts or uncles? Cousins? Great-grandparents twice removed or something? We have to be connected. I just know it! It can't be a coincidence that we look alike and you like fruit and I like fruit and we look alike and neither of us remember much regarding our parents..."
Synapse decided it would be better if he stopped speaking since he tended to ramble uncontrollably when he got excited. Might as well keep what little dignity he had remaining after that long speech, right?

Zel listened to the rambling politely enough, holding back his urge to laugh, but he knew in the way he laughed it would sound cruel and unkind.
He wasn't in the mood to be either at the moment, considering he really wanted this solved.
"Until this moment in time I haven't even fathomed having a family."
It was true, he knew this was a selfish thought, considering up till now he had only thought of himself and his beliefs and position in the world. But that was besides the point.
He couldn't really understand Syn's obsession with fruit. He thought the food was alright, as long as he had something to eat. He wasn't particularly thrilled about it, but he did like it over some other foods he had been subjected to.
"I don't suppose you know any body who can sense these kinds of things do you?"
He looked at the older malu quizically.
