It is with utmost pace that the civilization in which he tore feathered appendage from ashen bodice had fled from once guarded homeland— the disease in which had thrown itself at him in the very newborn veins of Helovia growing as a tumor outside the gates of the kingdom in which he had deemed home; forced to grovel among the hornless and winged alike in a darkened recess beneath the festering ground of the scalding core. The realm in which at one point he had known as intimately as his own flesh had undergone plentiful changes; a certain obsidian Queen lost (from legends lost) fallen to the grimy hands of the Edge, a reaper by the title of Deimos and a (what he only assumed) to be gilded Queen by the deeming of Illynx claiming leadership among their people. He has heard of Deimos before, by the speech of the former Lady herself— but the name of Illynx does not ring a bell within his churning mind. Nevertheless, he must speak with the so deemed Reaper soon, importance of roles and meanderings groups that call upon the destruction of the hornless and the winged upon the top of his lists of speech.

At the precise moment in which the cacophony of thoughts encroach upon his mind however; the soldier finds himself in search of a much needed scrubbing. The caverns are sparse in lighting from what he has found so far; unless one stands before the blazing wall of flame in it's welcoming center— but are crisscrossed with the spines of rivers and ponds that are (desperately) needed for the man covered in the claret of a mutated, avian babe. It has crusted a onyx vermilion upon his patched alabaster and obsidian flesh, crunching beneath argentate hooves and hardening the (once soft) layer of feathers that threaten to cover the cleft anchors. The soldier, in question, was not irritated and frustrated by mere scatterings of gore upon his hide, although the ideals of nimbility in warfare are prized high above the trophies of battle; and as in result of these conclusions he finds himself before a inky pond, not far from the twisting maze of the flame-lit chamber. Untouched by feathered swine and cumbersome equine alike; it's quite a feeble comparison to the bubbling springs of the Basin, although he is pleased to find no fleas have crawled to it's cleansing depths (but not even the warmest spring of his homeland could wash away the sins in which he has committed).

And so with elegance in pose, steady pillars splash into icy liquor, the (rather shocking) length of his cloak and mane soaked within a mere picosecond. He still needs to cut it.
The meek thought brings up swirling memories from his past and pearlescent flesh and the scent of Her and aureate pools that could have very well melted the soldier into a pile of complacent mud at her hooves (he misses her, he misses her far too much). The soldier had not seen her in the anarchy of their flight to the (supposed) haven, the beginnings of bitter fright and overwhelming guilt mixing with uncertainty inside his core— he never should have left her.

For if a Queen of her people fell to the snatching grasps of mudbloods— a frown bites deep into his maw at the thought— could the Goddess have fallen to their greed driven fingers.. as well?
