Welcome to Gaia! ::

Lacey had frantically searched for him, until she saw him disappearing over the horizon. She called Pluto and Delta to her to call off the search. She knew by the direction he was heading, exactly where Roman was going, and she wasn't going to stop him. He was a foal, yes, but he was both her son, and a son of the flame. He would be able to protect himself, even if he was young. Besides... not many would mess with one born of the flame. Her eyes were saddened and her heart ached at the thought, but Ruin was his father, and she would not stop him if that is who he wanted to visit.

Roman practiced spreading his wings periodically, and fluttered haphazardly over the landscape as it changed from the luscious grasslands of his birth, to the dry and arid desert sand that was imprinted in his biological memory. Father was this way... And it was that call he followed. Curiousity, followed by an intense desire for more heat and less wet moisture that was abundant in Mother's lands. He wasn't born for that land... He was born to thrive in the desert, as his brothers were... but let them waste their time keeping their flames going, he had better things to do.

Ruin grinned at Demoni and the little red female that sat at his hooves. While a streak of the only emotion he could name as jealousy coursed over his body, which he defined as the intense desire to kill whatever it was that Demoni had associated with other than Ruin... However, he stuffed it down. They had agreed, and so Ruin would abide by it with pride. Besides, Dakini would look up to him as much as she would Demoni, for Ruin would help teach her and raise her alongside her father. It wasn't until he felt that feeling, that sense of one of his own nearby that he looked up to see the little winged colt making his way down a sandy hill, sliding and leaving a brief furrow where his hooves had been.

Ruin could feel the emotions stirring just beneath Demoni's surface, and Ruin almost felt.. well no.. He honestly truly did feel bad for hurting Demoni like that, but it was neither his nature, nor did he know how or what apologizing truly was. Part of him, the mortal body part of him that was making him feel this drasted loyalty, though Ruin could admit it wasn't too bad, felt bad for not being able to apologize and for hurting him, the other part, however, loathed Demoni for being so petty. What did if matter if he had stolen Lacey's innocence. Innocence was far sweeter than what he and Demoni had shared and would share again, this time producing. Its not Ruin's fault that Demoni's hadn't come first, it was just the way the dice had rolled this time. He shook his head and looked away from Demoni to watch the foal approach.

Roman watched the others as he came closer, the feeling of his hooves sinking into the sand making him feel like this was where he belonged. He waited to make eye contact or verbal contact until he stopped before the two of them, well three now that he noticed the blanket which smelled of female. "Father, Demoni." He greeted in turn.

Ruin eyed the colt and watched as the female scooted forwards to sniff at her 'brother'. The natural curiosity would be something to benefit her later on when she was ready for training. "Love, this is Roman-" He was cut off by the colt.

Roman looked up from the little blanket, his eyes sharp like his father's. "Chaos. Call me Chaos." He said, his tone sharp and final before he blinked, registering that his father had called the other, 'Demoni', before turning back to Dakini and bending to sniff at her cautiously. "She's really young. Only a few days old." He said, tucking his wings into his side tightly.

Ruin grinned at the three, a sense of pride settling deep within his chest, a feeling he hadn't felt in ages. "What brings you here?" He asked Roman.. err Chaos. He grinned. How fitting of a name. He looked over at Demoni and lightly nose bumped him while the two young ones weren't looking.

Chaos nipped back at the blanket, careful to only catch the blanket and not her tender skin before looking back up at Demoni and Ruin. "Am I not supposed to be here?" He asked just as roughly

Ruin chuckled, his flames sparking lightly. "I meant, how did you get past your mother. Certainly she did not just let you come?"

Chaos shrugged and continued poking at the blanket, thoroughly amused by her reactions. He only had Remus to be around that was his age and there was something intriguing about this female that he liked. "Mother, Uncle Delta, and Plouton only watched from the ridge when they realized where I was. They did not call out or try to stop me." He replied nonchalantly, though he was insanely puzzled by the idea that his mother would just let him go. Did she not care?

Chaos tilted his head and looked up at Demoni. "I don't mind. She can bite me. It doesn't hurt... Actually.. Nothing really hurts." He looked at Ruin before settling down and watching Dakini. "I figured I would come here for a bit. I don't like the moisture up there, and I heard whisperings when Grimm was around about Mom's training. You two trained her and she doesn't want us learning too much. I want to know as much as you."

Ruin grinned. Chaos didn't feel pain? How... beneficial. He smirked and lightly nudged his son at the request to train him. "I'm sure Demoni and I could arrange something for you. Though.. You say... Grimm was? Is he not around anymore?"

Chaos looked up at Ruin, his eyes slightly narrowed. "I do not know why you are asked me. He left the night you spoke to him." He said, his voice flat.

Ruin's eyebrows rose as he glanced at Demoni before looking at his son again. "Okay. Yes. Did you tell Lacey?"

Chaos snorted, smoke coming out of his nose. "Of course not. Do you think I'm stupid or something?"

Ruin grinned and nodded at Demoni, both at his last statement and the mention of having her watch the training. "Of course not. I simply had to ask to be safe." He turned to Demoni and Dakini. "And yes. I believe the watching will be good for her as well. Not only for your reasons, but also so she can begin learning. She'll be able to train at a more advanced pace than Chaos will."

Chaos let out a small, muffled growl. Advanced? Did they not understand him? He'd made his way here by himself, stomping any animal that got in his way. When he was a blanket and nearly attacked by a Bayrel with his brothers, he was the one that did not cower, instead he stood his ground, until Grimm and Mother pushed him back, but he was hissing and spitting until he was quieted down. He was flaming before Remus even, and he was more powerful than them all. He looked at Demoni and Ruin before shaking his head. "I shall wait to train until she is old enough to train with me." He said, not in a menacing way, or in a way that said he wanted to necessarily best her, but he wanted to atleast be on the same level as her.

Ruin shook his head, his flames crackling. "No. You shall begin training when I said, or you can stay North," He said, his voice saying that it was the only way he would go.

Chaos stifled a growl but nodded. "Fine." He said before turning back to Dakini.

Chaos lightly nudged Dakini with his nose but left her there. If she wanted to share his warmth then so what. He was his step-sister apparently, and perhaps she wasn't too bad. "Only one condition. Until I am an adult I will not reside her." He said, looking between Demoni and Ruin.

Ruin nodded. "Fine. I accept that. But I will ask a favor of you in return when you are done with training." He said, his eyes narrowed.

Chaos met Ruin's stare with equal hardness. "Fine."
