Mjrn’s eyes were glazed over with an unknown emotion, or maybe lack of emotion… whatever it was, it was driving her mad. Tahka really did just come into her life and mess everything up, now didn’t he?
And now that he was older she couldn’t help herself, she wanted to give him everything always, but her heart ached and her body bent every time the two tangoed and soon she found herself as cold as ice and all alone beside an old tree.
She had given up her flame and was now tamed and dull, it seemed.
Od purred as he walked around his little fort. It was not fall from the family's den, but it was where he always was. The large tree surrounded by a stretch of tall grass all around was perfect for him. Everyday he came there, climbed the tree and looked into the savannah waiting for his old Goddess friend to return to play with him again. But since her last return and her promise to bring her friend Nix with her... she has not been seen.
He lazed in the tree for days on end, only getting down for water, food, and the sleep in the den. However, today something was going to change. As he came to the tree, someone was already there. With closer expections, it was none other than his sister; Mjrn. His heart skipped as he had not seen many of his siblings in a long while. Instinctively he rushed over.
"Mjrn!"
She didn’t react at first. She was far too lost within her own thoughts to even notice her brother. Her green eyes narrowed as she mewed to herself and sighed deeply, before snapping back her gaze to see Od.
Why was he here? Her ears went flat as she frowned and spoke out softly.
“Mmmm?”
Well, not really spoke, it was more of a mumble.

Od purred as he approached, dipping his head to look up at her. He had not seen her in so long! Her eyes were the same, pretty as every but something was the matter, but it was hard to tell with his blonde mane falling in his way. Od chuckled as he nuzzled his sister out of brotherly affection.
"Mjrn, where'd you go? I haven't seen you and Noy in a while. In fact, many of us have left mum and dad, huh?"
He purred. Od had not seen her and his curiousity grew. Something was the matter, perhaps it will come up...
"What has my sister been up to?"
“Perhaps.”
She nodded as he spoke about the family and mother and father. She wasn’t sure though, she had not spoken to any of the family in a very very long time. As he nuzzled her she just sat still. Three scars rested upon her chest and as he nuzzled her he could see them.
The were fairly new.
Her green eyes narrowed at him as she spoke out again.
“Nothing really. Why are you all the way out here, I never thought I’d run into you again…”

"But I come out here all the time, this is my fort. I've been coming here since I was a cub, remember the brother who didn't talk much?"
He smiled and purred, looking at his sister. His green eyes, similar to hers, looked over her form. She was the only sibling to have no trave of yellow or green (excluding her eyes) and she was just as beautiful as her mother. However, going over her form, he noticed a strange cub over her chest... rather three.
He moved awkwardly close to look at them before peering up at her.
"Mjrn?... what is that?"
She blinked for a moment before moving onto her paws. She slowly padded backwards and eyed him. Why was he doing this, she didn’t want to talk about it! Her eyes shut tightly as she groaned and spoke.
“Od, look, it’s nothing really, it happened a while ago, I’m fine.”
She just couldn’t tell him how it happened or that she was with someone who was just too much for her to handle sometimes, someone who distorted everything he touched.
“You should go now, Od.. Stay safe.”
Od narrowed as he stood up as well. Never before had he ever had to do this, he thought his siblings were just fine on their own but it seemed like Mjrn was not alright as he had thought. She was hurt. The way she spoke, it meant that either she was hurt during a hunt or someone she knew did this. And having to tell him to stay safe... it was too suspicious.
"Mjrn... who... who did this to?" he question, his blonde mane slowly sliding over his eye. It still remained narrow, "Tell me who and I will put him in line..." no one had seen his rage before, oh no, but with the Goddess of Rage's presence in his life... he had some pent up some just waiting to fall out onto someone.
“Od, you can’t keep me safe anymore, I’m not a cub and you’re not where I am.”
She lashed out, pulling herself back some as her ears pinned along her skull.
“I’m fine, you’ll see, nothing is wrong, no one did this to me.”
She was such a lie; she often thought she was Tahka herself. Her green eyes, the eyes that they both shared gazed at him softly as she looked him over with a sigh of regret.
“Od…”

"Mjrn... You may not be a cub anymore but you're still my sister. I can't just sit around and have you get hurt because you won't do something about it," he sighed. "I know someone who could help, but if you don't want me to interfere, I guess I can't call a Goddess to help us with this."
He looked at her with eyes of pleading. Pleading to let him help her. He loved her deeply and to see her hurt and so afraid of letting him get close.... it was sad. Her pain was evident but he could not prove it if she did not work with him. The scars on her chest will always remain on her...
"Mjrn, please?"
“Od, I’m sorry but I can’t. I shouldn’t even be talking to you right now.”
She was almost in tears, how could he be so selfish, asking her to do that like it was so easy, she was in love and confused and very very lost. She wouldn’t and couldn’t rat on him.
Her paws moved together as she gazed at him again and smiled rather dully.
“I am sorry--”

"Mjrn..."
He looked at her and shook his head, dropping his head a little feeling rather useless as he was detached from his family as of late. He had found Mjrn again, rather she found him... Od couldn't do anything anymore. She made it clear that she wasn't going to talk to him about her problem, as much as he had wanted her to. He had offered to help and even mentioned Rage, even if vaguely.
"Mjrn, at least remember this, I will always be here. If you ever need your brother, just come back here and get me, okay?"
She nodded quickly and slowly moved back some more. She looked half dead and was almost trembling as she turned to walk away from him. She loved her brother very much, that’s why she wouldn’t tell him anything.
He would think of her, but in many bad ways.
Od could only watch her leave him alone. The wind seemed to blow through, making the leaves make their dance of lights and the waves of tall grass weave about. For once he felt really isolated, no Rage to make him life and care. No siblings around to talk to. His parents were here but... he needed someone his own age. Someone to talk to, be with, care for, be cared about... Mjrn showed him that he could not always be there for those he cared about, as much as he would want to.
He would have followed Mjrn... but her scent was gone.
