Pure black hues watched what lay beneath him. Perched up upon a cliff edge he peered down into the endless abysss of the savanah that stretched on and on. Somewhere out there, K'Anatak knew his father was there, his brother was after him. Everything seemed to be falling apart. All his life K'Anatak had had someone beside him, now he was alone.
His brother hated him.
His father probably didn't know he existed.
The only thing the white god had of his father was a single silver ring, given to him from his mother, a gift from his father. His name was chosen by his father, and he wanted to know where his blood came from.
K'Anatak was the God of Reflection.
He often reflected upon himself, what he might have done wrong to deserve such a fate as his own at this point. He hated being alone. He pulled his wings closer to him as the wind picked up a bit as he looked into the distance.
Perhaps somewhere he could find a friend.
Maybe more.
Time would tell, and right now, K'Anatak didn't know where to go.

And on that savannah, there was a lone little goddess on her own, wandering around as if without a direction.
She did indeed, though, have a direction. Of sorts. Mo'onasi, the Goddess of Love, had taken a little time away from her new friend Wingu, wanting some time to think on her own. Why was she initially hostile to him? Was she really holding a grudge against all gods?
She couldn't even remember who it was that punished her, so long ago when she had done things against ethics; wanting to keep two mates together, regardless of the species mix that just wasn't possible for them. It broke her heart when it didn't work, and after she had awoken from her forced-coma, she felt a surge of bitterness against the gods that had chosen to do that to her. All she wanted to do was bless the love that mortals carried for each other; it was something that she would never get, and thus wanted the best for the mortals that she watched over.
But perhaps she was thinking too much. The striped goddess stopped her pace to rest underneath a tree, noting that there were very few predators on the savannah lands today; only a few preybeasts here and there. The clouds had held the rain for quite some time, and it was unknown when it would rain again.

His eyes drew downward to something moving, something bigger then anything else he saw below him. His eyes were black as the darkest night, but no moonlight to guide anyone's way. They were like a black abyss, never ending, but this also allowed him to hide his emotions in his eyes as well. He only knew of a few that could see any emotion in his eyes.
He usually held his sadness and confusion in them.
But this moving figure caught his attention. Spreading his wings he soared dowards, using his extra wings upon his forearms to go faster and fly smoother then most. Landing softly he padded forwards, folding his wings back pon his back and against his arms.
The silver ring jingled somewhat as he walked forward, then stopped. A mass of fur and feathers before him, alone. Why was she alone? Her pelt was so beautiful, compared to anything else K'Anatak had seen before. But why would she be alone.
"Hello," he spoke softly, in a whisper so if she was deep into sleep (for her could not see her face clearly) that he would not wake her. He wondered if she could help him, but he wanted to wait to see if she wanted to talk at all. He sensed something from her, by his powers, a reflection upon herself, a longing.
He wondered what she longed for.
But he would not pry any deeper, it wouldn't be right...would it?

The striped goddess' head swirled around as her ears caught the voice of an intruder. Her ears perked up for a moment before she realized that a God had found her. Well, this was certainly not what she wanted to deal with, not at the moment. Her ears settled back down as she turned her body to fave this new visitor of hers.
"H-hello there..." her words were a bit detached, and careful, but she didn't act hostile physically. "Can I help you today, fellow God?"
She curled her tail around to cover her forepaws, her head a little bit lower then it would of if she had high confidence or pride. Her golden-green eyes still lightly glimmered in the sun's rays, the emerald that danced on her chest reflecting the bits of rays that made their way through it's green abyss. Her wings trembled a bit, but she did her best to keep them still, folding hem tight against her back.
Momo hoped, deep in her heart, that this wouldn't turn out as bad as the last time she came across a god.

He was confused. She seemed, so...uneasy. Had he done something wrong already? K'Anatak had been told many times in his life that he caused problems, even when he didn't even do anything. His brother blamed him for everything, thats why his brother hated him, why K'Anatak was alone.
To tell the truth, K'Anatak was nervous too.
This was the first time he was alone with another, he had mostly kept to himself during his travels. But he hated feeling alone without anyone around him to talk or give him a comforting feeling. He wondered if he was just someone other's didn't like or favor.
"I'm sorry...if I intruded on your rest miss," he said lowering his head in an apologetic way. Raising his head again, watching her with black eyes he smiled and sat close to her, but still a bit away, to not intrude on her space. "I've been traveling, I just...just wanted someone to talk to..." his ears folded back somewhat in his own sadness, "I haven't talked to anyone for a while...I've been alone. I'm K'Anatak. May I ask for your name? Your choice to reveal it though of course," he said kindly, quietly.

Momo's body still shook, even though she could lightly tell that he wasn't going to cause her any harm. Some habits were hard to break.
"S-sorry. Last time I....last time I ran into a God I was nearly killed." She rushed the last part out in a blur. Her nervousness was ever apparent. "I'm s-sure that you won't d-do anything to me but..." She uncurled her tail, and curled it around herself again. "I can't really...help it..."
She glanced up at his dark, dark eyes before looking away again. "I'm Mo'onasi. But...just call me Momo, I like it better..."

K'Anatak smiled at her warmly, sat down and then crouched down on teh ground, curling his wings around himself. He was trying to make himself look smaller then he was, to make her feel more comfortable. He knew that he looked a bit large, his fur make him look that way.
"It's alright Momo, I understand...do not worry, no need to apologize. I've known the feeling of being nervous for sake of protection too, my brother and I, well, we don't have the most loving relationship...I promise, I won't do anything to hurt you...if there's anything I can do to make you feel more comfortable, let me know, alright Momo?"
Her name was pretty, nickname was cute. He couldn't help but think so. "I'm not a dangerous god at all Momo, god of Reflection I am...I only try to help guide others, though sometimes, I feel a part of me is missing, I don't know what," he stopped, felt like he was rambling. "I do apologize if my speaking so much is a bother to you Momo," he smiled at her, right now he wished his eyes were a different color, he was trying his best to make Momo feel comfortable around him. He didn't want her to worry around him.

Momo still slunk back a bit, not so much at him, but what she was going to say.
"Perhaps you are harmless, and are Reflection....but I am Love. Why do so many people loathe it?" she whispered softly.
Her wings loosened up a bit, sagging enough to lightly touch the ground. It was the truth, wasn't? She had a Fallen attack her, she herself had acted hostile to another god, and here she was, scared to talk to another that was obviously harmless. Was life always this confusing?
Inwardly, she wanted to just curl up and cry. Couldn't she be a cub again? When everything seemed so simple, so nice. Growing up brought on things that she just didn't like.

K'Anatak tilted his head at Momo, she was the goddess of love? But, she seemed so sad, why was she not with another at this very moment, loving another, someone that would make her feel at home and protect her. Have her feel loved. His black eyes fell upon her, but he smiled,
"I honestly cannot say Momo, some might fear losing someone they love...at least, what I suspect, I don't know why others hate it when most long for it...what's it like? Is it ...nice?" he asked shyly. K'Anatak had never known what love felt like, he never really had anyone close to him, his brother even hated him. But he had always been curious about it.
He wondered if he would ever find someone to love and take care of.
K'Anatak wanted to have Momo feel confortable, not nervous, but inwardly it seemed that she still was, he wanted to help with that, but wasn't sure how. He would not make ehr reflect on herself, he wouldn't do that to her.

Momo huffed a bit. Wasn't love one of the most common emotions? Why did he ask her?
"Love is a warm feeling, or it should be. Sometimes....it's not, though." She stirred, uneasily.
She finally relaxed enough to lay down on the ground, her limbs trembling. Her fear was slowly ebbing, but it would still take a time when she would truely feel comfortable with other gods...if she ever would again.
"I am...sorry if I scare you. This fear overwhelms me, something that I must overcome....though I'm scared that I'll take a while."

K'Anatak blinked as she huffed, had he said something wrong? He honestly didn't know what it was like, he never really had any friends in the past, closer friends weren't even heard of to him let alone someone he could love. He was usually outcated by any that saw him, just because he had wings and was slightly more puffy then others.
"Warm? That must be nice though, even if its not, least some know the feeling other then others that don't yes?" he said with a smile on his maw, it was warm, happy she was relaxing a bit more. Though he was still sad she trembeled, but she had a fear, and like she said, would take some time to get over.
"Do not worry Momo, I am not pushing you, if the fear overwhelms you, you can take as much time as you would wish to have it pass later, please don't feel like I'm trying to make you break that fear...you are someone I've been able to talk to, for once in a long time, I would never force you to do anything," he said warmly, smiling. He would never force Momo to do anything, he wanted her to be happy. She seemed so fearful for such a pretty Goddess.
Wait...had he just thought that?
He blushed in his mind, he'd never thought that in his head before...
"I apologize, if my earlier question...bothered you Momo..." he said stating to when she huffed, he didn't want to bring up uncomfortable subjects.

Momo's tail twitched behind her as she sat. She could tell that he was trying to make her bring out some things that were just too awkward for her to say, but still...it made her feel a little undomfortable.
"...you're always so serious, aren't you?" she said, cocking her head to the side. She gave a little sigh before continuing. "I can tell you aren't pushing me, nor that you will harm me. It's just...hard. Anyone can experience love. It just takes some time to grow, like a flower."

K'Anatak ducked his head a bit closer to the ground, seemed to stare out to the distance for a monute or too, "I don't know why I'm like this, I've never really, had a chance to talk with anyone before...been running I guess, for a while now, he hunts for me..." he spoke silently, he was speaking about his brother. He was detested by his brother, he feared someday he might be killed by his paws one day.
"I understand that it's hard Momo, trust me, if anyone can understand that," he turned his head to look at her, a smile still upon his maw just for her, "it's me.." K'Anatakt hought for a moment, all teh stories he had heard of love and loss, it seemed all too sad yet grand at the same time.
He hoped he one day might find it somewhere.
"Do you think, it will ever happen to me Momo? You don't have to say if you don't wish."

Momo's ears perked up for a moment before resting back where they normally laid. "Love can happen to anyone, K'Anatak, if they believe in it enough. It takes time for it to grow into something amazing, but it's there. It's in everyone." She fell a little more quiet. "Even those that hate. They must love to hate to hate that much..."
She shook her head a bit before trying to perk up. "Sorry about that...I tend to forget myself sometimes." She laughed lightly, embarassed. Was she getting comfortable with him? Or just the turn of conversation had her embarassed?
She skillfully avoided directly answering his question, though she felt bad about it. He seemed to have much sorrow in his heart, more then what one of only Reflection should have.

K'Anatak was glad to hear love could happen to anyone, but Momo's lack of words telling if it would ever happen to him downed his spirits, but only on teh inside. He wouldn't show a depressed state to her, those moments were for when he would be alone, and reflect upon himself, and the many failures he blamed himself for.
He smiled at her when she laughed, she was so pretty when she laughed, even if it was because she was embarasses. "No need to apologize Momo, sometimes we all forget who we are."
His wings pulled tighter against him a bit, his eyes lay on the feathers, his eyes then traveled to her wings, hers were so much grander then his, even if his wings could do a little trick. He tried to think of what to do to lighten teo conversation, but what could he possibly do for her?
"Momo, would you like to see a trick? Well, it's not much of a trick, but something I can do..." it was dusk now, the sun was setting painting the sky wonderous colors, it would be perfect timing, if she wished to see.
