The snow falls and falls and falls. Although here, closest to the God of the Sun, Gaucho feels farther away than ever. The rays of light impact the snow in an overwhelming display of brightness, but the heat of the Sun is still distant. The ground is covered by endless white that blinds his eyes and makes him feel cold and small. The flames that linger on his wings seem to fizzle as his energy diminishes. He has been doing too much - acting as a solo lead during Sohalia's absence, trying to fulfill his duty to his deity, trying to protect the Throat, and trying to stop these murders.. Exhaustion overwhelms the Wildfire as his gaze surveys the dead body. He is so tired he barely remembers coming here - seeing the body reminds him of his own mortality. He needs to sleep, to eat... later. For now, he has a job to do. He needs to report what he has found to the others - Cera, Elsa, Oxy. They need to know.

His hardened gaze surveys the blood amidst the snow, emotionless his stormy gaze scans for clues. Whoever the murderer is, they haven't been taking care not to leave clues it seems, for at each scene there has been something obvious ..

Feattherrrssss Mara whispers in his mind, looking at the broken black feather that lingers on the white body.

Who the creature is, Gaucho doesn't know, doesn't care. He's dead, and thus the darkness lingers still. The urge to complete his task for the Sun God, to break the Throat away from Helovia gives him strength enough to take to the skies. His hoof prints are large and obvious in the unmarred snow, as flaming wings pull him into the sky. He casts one last look at the pale body, ensuring that he has noted every detail, before heading home towards the Throat. He will find Cera and perhaps the boy can deliver the message to the others. For now, Gaucho just needs to sleep.
