She was confused, confused again and going in circles again. A continuoues circle it seemed. She flicked her tail, sighed, stopped, then went on again. She repeated this several times until she noticed how familiar everything looked. She saw the large rock silhouette in the distance, Od was here, Siltim had been here, she hadn't seen either in so long. She was still lost, but continually going, going somewhere, feeling a pull at her from something else, somewhere else.
Her heart was aching today.
Flopping over into the tall grass she sighed, it was cool against her back. Her back felt better nowadays, since the fall, it was better, but still needed healing. She wondered if she should search Od out again, look for Siltim, or someone else. So many thoughts rolling through her mind that seemed torn and whole all at once.
Something was calling her, pulling her, looking for her.
Though Ryu'Rage wasn't sure what it was.

Od yawned and rubbed the back of his neck after just waking from an afternoon nap. His neck was getting a lot more itchy than usual but he just brushed it off as a temporary thing. It had been many moons of solitude after having encountered that rogue lion Kinari... and not seeing Rage too. He had not spoken much at all since then either and his mumbling was just an inclination now. With another yawn, he looked up into the sky and smiled.
"Another day... another day...."
He murred. He knew no one was around so it was safe for him to speak freely. He only did so when he was comfortable. His voice was weird, it sounded like Siltim's but different. It was... mature? No, not entirely but it was close. He sighed and yawned again.
"Contageous to myself..."
Od looked around briefly before heading down to the water hole, the only other place besides the den he would go to. He had been very cautious since that day but the tension was easing lightly and things should return to normal... right?

Rage rolled onto her back, paws up, she reached up towards the sky for a moment, as if wanting to pluck something from the vast blue upon her head and eyes. Though she pulled back, sighed. Was what tearing at her? Something was coming maybe? She hadn't felt this way...in a long time. She felt like this before, though she couldn't recall. What was it? She sighed, rolled onto her stomach again, pulled her wings on her back, as if to hide under them.
Where could she go now? She was tired of traveling.
She thought she heard a voice, close, familiar yet, a mix maybe? Though she thought she was imagining things, hallucinating, maybe she was too exhausted, too tired to focus anymore.

Od bowed down, licking at the surface of the water's top, ripples dissipating into the liquid. It had been a while since he had wandered off alone. Hmm... where did the others wander off to? He looked around again before dunking his head into the water, shaking off the stray beads of water in his fur. Refreshing.
Od continued to drink up when he felt something touch his heart. He completely froze. This feeling... it was familiar but... hard to remember? He looked around again as his ears fell back down. Was it him? Where was he? What did he want from him now? He had Rage's favor right? What else could a mortal want? Od cowered a bit and moved into the water slowly so it was only ankle deep.
His emerald eyes continued to dance to every single movement in the grass, anything that moved made hm fidget.
"...Rage.... Rage...."
He whimpered.
"Rage..."

The wind blew gently, ruffling the fur atop her head as she sighed, she let her thoughts be carried away by the wind for a moment, even just a mere moment of peace felt like a lifetime of washing away the pain, the past she left behind, the one she had left behind, the blood she had left behind. She sighed, though her silver hues looked up towards the sky after her eyes shot open...her name?
Someone had called her name.
Standing up and pulling her wings upon her back, Ryu'Rage peered around, she flicked her tail, saw the gleam of the water from the water hole, something was creating ripples in the giant pool of blue, something green. "Od?" was he in trouble? Was he calling her? For a moment her eyes narrowed, what if Kinari was looking at him from the other end of the pool, what if he was by Od, what if Kinari was going to try and hurt him again.
She felt her heart ache and she grimaced, placed a paw to her chest, shook her head, and began to pad forward towards the pool at a fast pace. She ignored how her heart hurt, she was exerting too much energy, she felt light headed, everything seemed brighter. Just a bit further, to make sure Od was okay, if he was, let her body give way and pass out into the blackness like it had recently.
She was too exhausted to stop and care for herself when the possibility of Od getting hurt was in her eyes.

The rustling of the bushes before him made his heart race, faster and faster, the thuds growing in sync as if one beat. His fur grew matted and his eyes were restless. His chest danced in place upon him. This feeling, this fear... this terror. Was it him? Was it Kinari, the one known as Terror? Was he here? Why!? Didn't he get what he wanted? His breaths grew short when a noise came behind him. His entire body jumped into the air and with a single glance of darkness made him run to it.
"RAGE! It's him!"
He spoke out, not caring to mumbling. He padded out from the water and hid between her legs the best he could. Rage, the Goddess of Rage, and immortal. Kinari could try to kill her and his attempts would be fruitless, but... fear...
"Rage..."
Od's fur was still wet, stray beads of water would flick off from his fur and hit against the ground. The impact of the water droplets sounded like a quick rainfall. His green eyes glared at the tall grass when a paw stepped forward. It was a small paw... he looked on with curiousity, but still hide behind Rage. With a quick moment to look up at her, she too was breathing heavily. What was going on? Was she afraid of him too or was it something else.
The figure stepped out from the grass and it's maw smirked at the two.
"Fraidy cat has to hide behind the nature's reject? And you call yourself a Pride Lander."

As Rage drew closer, thens topped, she watched as Od came from the water, and hid between her legs. She breathed deep, trying to catch her breath, and she for a moment stopped to admire how much Od had grown since she last saw him. He was also speaking without the mumbles and purrs. My, how he had grown. Grown so much. Everything was changing now, even her friends were changing now, though she seemed to stay the same, and get worse.
"Its alright Od, its alright," she said soothingly, trying to calm him. Her silver hues traveled over the taller grass from where she had just emerged. She saw somehting brown, and her eyes narrowed, yet they returned to their normal state when she saw how tiny the foreign brown thing was.
But...he looked...so much like him.
It was uncanny, and chilling.
Ryu'Rage watched this foreign cub, his movement, narrowed her eyes. "Watch your tongue, you may be a cub, but know when to show respect to others..." she said sternly, this cub was already too much like Kinari.
Kinari had to be his father.

Od shivered as beads of water flicked off with each vibration that went down his spine. His ruffled neck was just the start of a to-be mane, his eyes were still as sharpe but still hinted of fear. He looked up at Rage and moved closer. He knew she would protect him last time. She had to, right?
"Myru..." He murred quietly.
"Pfft, only those of the royal line deserve respect. At least from me. And if I am not mistaken, that kitty there shares none of the royal traits," The cub spoke. "He's a coward, he's not gold or have red eyes, and he's green."
The cub smirked and shook his head. "But he's still a Pride Lander so that just means he has to be treated as one." the cub rolled his eyes and scoffed. "Like I care, not even related to me."
Od scowled and growled. "Myriot!" He stuck out his tongue and moved a bit from under Rage boldly.
"Oh, not mumbling anymore now?"
"No...."
"So you aren't then."
"Myru...."
"Is that a yes or a no?"
"Myru..."
"Annoying little-" The cub growled as his hackles. "Now I am beginning to get more annoyed with you. Forget this, it's not even worth tolerating. You and that reject have fun, I'm going home." With a flick of his tail, the cub glanced back at Od and disappeared.
Od cocked his head in a bit of confusion. "Myru?"

Ryu'Rage glared at this cub, he thought he was so brilliant, so great, so strong, she unfolded her wings, and narrowed her silver eyes at him. If she had a son like that, a cub like that...oh, would she reem his or her little behind until they played nice.
Strange strange cub, had to be one of Kinari, Terror, whoever the red-eyed lion was she met so long ago that threatened little Od.
She watched him go, and stepped over from Od and crouched down, looked him over, ran her paw over his shoulders, trying to sooth him, calm him, and see if he was alright. "Od its alright now he's gone, don't worry alright, I'm here, nothing will happen," she soothed, trying to make him feel more comfortable, safer.
Stupid brown cub, she'd search him out someday.
"You alright?"

Od tilted his head back, one ear up and the other cocked off to the side. He smiled and gave a soft nod and a soft, “myru”. He was all right. Things have gotten different since they had met when he was a little younger, then again, lions do become adults in a little under a year. The grassy green cub got up, turned around, and plopped himself down foolishly and purred.
“Myrage?”
He mewed softly, looking up at her with brilliant emerald eyes. It has been a long time since he had ventured from his den. It has been a long time since he had seen the Goddess that he saw as a close friend. But not a day has passed without him thinking about what she was up to.
He just… smiled.

Ryu'Rage watched him, still let his eyes fall over him a few more times, and then was satisfied with him being alright. This feeling, it felt so familiar, yet so vague, blurry to her eyes, memory, heart, everything. She sighed in relief, watched him, just watched him, listened to his slur, his purr mixed with words. Still so strange, he had grown since before, she thought he spoke clearly before, guess she was wrong, or maybe it was his way of showing affection through his voice?
She wasn't sure, she wasn't sure of a lot of things lately.
She watched him smile, watched his emerald eyes with her silver hues, watched him smile. She tried, tried to smile to calm him, assure him, but she sighed, turned her head away. Even then she couldn't smile, she wasn't sure what was holding her from such a thing.
"I'm alright, you alright Od? You sure?"

"Myru."
Od nodded softly. His fur was growing thicker, the fur behind his neck was weird since of late. It had become itchier and a lot thicker than his usual fur. His parents told him that it will go away later down the line. Later? Line? What line? Where was it so he could go down it faster. Idly scratching the back of his neck, he sighed. He wanted the itching to stop.
His emerald hued eyes glanced up at the Black and Red goddess before him, the one he saw as his protector and friend. What was wrong? Why did she sigh like that? Why did she look away from him? Was it something he said? Something he did? He reached out and pawed at her softly.
"Myru?"
He purred, ears falling slightly, big round eyes looking up at her.
"Myz rumpin' ryu 'atter?"

Rage shook her head at little Od and nestled herself on the ground comfortably, still keeping him close, then draping a wing over him to shield him from the sunlight, it was getting hotter now. "I'm alright, its fine Od don't worry, just glad you're alright," she said with a nod, a half smile, or at least somewhat of a smile.
Od was getting older now, and she was still stuck in place with old things forever present, she wanted things to change, things to be different,t more interesting, more fun, better. She flicked her tail and closed her eyes for a moment, she was getting tired now. Was it from the sun? She wasn't sure. Everything was so green and bright around here, even Od was. She felt warm here, though she wasn't sure why.

Od nuzzled up against her, in the shade of her presence, literally. His emerald eyes eyed the grass warily unsure if that thing will return again. It did not seem too interested in them... but one cannot be so sure. He rolled onto his back and looked up at the Goddess of Rage with happy, soulful eyes.
"Myrood."
He giggled and stretched out underneath her fanned wing. He did not take too much notice to it, but she seemed more distant since they had first met. Or was it that he had not even noticed it then? She seemed to be unable to smile fully, it was always fake or an attempt to one, or even a forced one. Something had changed in her and he wanted to know what.
"Myrage?"
He cooed, pawing at her feathers softly. His expression and voice hinted to wory and concern, hopefully she would pick that up without having him 'saying' it.

Ryu'Rage was preoccupied by the arguing sides in her head. She felt like she was bound by chains all the time, and she couldn't break free. She was like a puppet being pulled back and forth into light then darkness, pulled by chains, bound by chains, never allowed to smile or escape.
There were other voices now, memories, a soft, soothing one, a darkened figure, bright blue eyes, a smile on their maw, wings like her own, the form was bigger, muscular, a mane atop his head, shrouded in black, she could see him, but she couldn't, he was gone. Another figure then, ice eyes, she could remember, and she couldn't, the figure faded like the other, and she felt an ache in her heart.
One last one now...so tiny, seemingly so frail, no words, just a high pitched giggle, then somehting like stones against the earth, something shutting, then it was gone. Rage was then pulled back to reality with Od's voice, she shook her head as if to shake out the memories, the voices and images.
"Its just hard...I feel like someone is looking for me...I can remember, but I can't...nothing is getting that better, I still can't even smile Od...I can't even smile," tears welled in the corners of her eyes, but she refused to cry. It hurt, and she didn't want to feel any pain now.
She just wanted everything to be alright.
