Welcome to Gaia! ::

He kept to the shadows of the trees in the light of dusk, just outside the boundaries of some large town to make his rounds from the outside while still being far enough away for his own comfort. He was on a mission from his father again, for his own practice as his father said. He was more than fine with that, but he had to admit that his own inner fire was starting to grow brighter and brighter by the day. He knew his skills were superior to his father's, but his father had taught him well enough to not to get too foolish and get ahead of himself.

But for now he forgot about those thoughts, focusing on his mission that he was sought out to complete. He stalked the shadows of the sinking sun in between the trees, keeping a watchful eye on the town before him, watching all the other noodles that were starting to trickle themselves inside of its boundaries. Most likely to go and "party" as it was called.

His eyes widened and his fur bristled immediately when he felt the strange sensation on the tip of his tail and his shadows, whipping his tail away and turning around as swiftly as a lightning bolt with his forepaw and claws outstretched as he targeted his aggressor with pinpoint accuracy. As soon as his eyes rested upon his target, his pupils shrunk momentarily as they took in the peculiar sight, and his aim was averted by mere millimeters. His fur bristled even more wildly, his eyes growing much wider again and a snarl looked as if it were being quite literally "animated" and "drawn" onto his face, with his flesh being completely and utterly covered by his shadows. The natural glow that radiated from his flame-like markings glowed ever brighter, the shadows that grew and shrank infinitely upon his tail bubbling and oozing over itself as it grew and drooped off of his tail. This other appeared to be made out of such shadows like himself, only to a larger extreme just like his mother...

"Who are you?" he snarled at the creature. Was this some odd sort of assassin? Couldn't be with his dim cooing and stupid laughing. Was this some failed offspring of his mother, wherever she was? It certainly wasn't another created in his mother and father's union; neither he or his sister had as much darkness clinging to their flesh as their mother, and neither parent had such odd yellow eyes. Those eyes reminded him of some sort of cat.

"And don't you dare try to take one step closer to me," he growled deeply, his words nearly coming out of his throat like some sort of muffled lion's roar, ever boasting his aggression and seriousness. His pupils nearly turned to slits as he took a few short tentative steps backwards, watching this odd thing's every muscle twitch. If he even stepped a milliliter closer to him, this dark being was going to regret it deeply.

Well, the odd noodle did do as he said; he didn't take any movements closer to him, but instead began to flee away. With some sort of confused state, Bane relaxed himself and his body, his stance changing and his shadows receding into the air or itself, his tail slowly lashing back and forth. He had never seen a fully grown noodle act in such a way, nor have shadows like himself, his sister, or his mother. He just had to find out more about this strange one's origins.

He trotted after it, known as Chaos, for there was no need to run with its ink-like shadows clinging to the ground. His shadows certainly didn't do that; it must just mean that this odd one's shadows weren't pure, weren't true. Was it some cursed being? A ghost of some sort? Either way, he spoke and was spooked like some young, newborn kit. He was still learning, but his father had taught him well enough so far.

"I'm sorry I frightened you," he said calmly and humbly in the general direction of the darker shadows. Chaos' eyes glittered with their yellow light, lightly sparkling through his shadowy ink. "You just gave me a fright! I thought I was all alone over here," he added as he sat down on his haunches, trying to demonstrate a body language that said that he was not a threat.

"Chaos?" he asked him curiously, tilting his head. "I am Bane. It is nice to meet you!
