You found the secret,
you’d kill it
just to keep it.
Antaa had decided the entire way back to linger beside her bonded. Typically she enjoyed scouting ahead, but since she had no idea where they were headed she simply stayed glued to Darwin's side. She tucked herself into the crevice between Darwin's wings, watching everything that was happening. Letting her gaze trickle to Milo occasionally, and the happiness that set within her breast at the gentleness of the colt. Still, Darwin wasn't entirely sure about the man he had set out on the adventure with. Milo was pleasant company, despite being absolutely quiet. It was seemingly nice to know that a spawn of Knox could be so kind. So instead, in silence, Darwin followed the creature across the borders. He took in the lush scenery around him, letting his gaze dance across each and every new view that approached.
Eventually, they came to a stop and the man spoke. Darwin's ivory ears flitting to his words, as his lips pressed against each other momentarily. "So this is the Hidden Falls? It's a bit more than I was expecting, I guess." He admitted, turning his gaze to the black beast for a moment. Antaa kept a watchful eye, her head swiveling with each new sound and movement. "Do we just wait here for someone? Or...?" He questioned, an ear flicking back as he suddenly became overcome with nervousness. What if someone came that knew him? What if it was his own brothers? What if they didn't want him here? What then? At least he thought he kind of knew how to get out of here. Despite his brothers, he was graced with wings that could definitely keep him out of dangerous clutches. And if that didn't work, he at least had his magic.
It was a comfort that he relied on, like the backbone to who he was becoming. Being able to avoid getting into sticky situations by simply shifting into a phoenix. It was soothing to know that despite what demons could overcome him, at least he still had a part of him from his youth. He might not have had the perfect childhood, but at least he had that. He took a quick glance around again before shifting his weight and relaxing his wings for a few moments, relief swarming into the muscles that had carried the heavy appendages so tight the entire way.
"Talk."
