Where were they going? No one really knew. Where were they going to decide to stay and thrive in? No one really knew that either. Axel had somewhat of a brainstorming idea of where to go. He had heard tales of a massive abandoned city that no one dared to enter, supposedly because it was "cursed". But Axel was not one for superstitions nor did he care for what risks they would bump into. What they needed was a home, a place to stay and somewhere fast. They had been traveling for quite some time now ever since the breakage of the nation now becoming two different groups, the small amount of human race now focused on them. And at the dead of the night, the cautious figure of Axel stalked through the dense forest area they were going through. Darkness cloaked their slipping retreating figures, the lanky young male at the lead of the pack with his wide ivy green eyes flickering around for any sight of danger. None that he could see. He gripped his bow tighter, his fingers latched onto the pulled back string and in the faint streak of moonlight, th glinting iron of an arrow was to be seen. Even with the large brown hoodie that he wore, he could still feel the harsh claws of the cold draw invisible wounds down his spine. It was getting colder and they needed to find shelter fast as puffs of warm breath danced in the air as Axel decided to just keep heading towards the towering figure of a hotel.
Once there, he wandered in with a few others to patrol the area and make sure it was not taken up by someone else. Surprisingly, no blood was to be spilled for he found not a single room of the hotel holding a stranger that could threaten his group. So, after a swift direction to let everyone in, Axel decided to relax and place the bow and arrow back into their sheaths, his slightly trembling hands pawing at each other for warmth. The lights were turned off due to there no longer being electricity and he simply decided to get ready for a meeting. It was informal since they had not reached their home yet but it was only a couple miles away, a day's walk that could be made possible after this night's rest. He was tired and his entire body screamed for rest, his bruised shoulders strained from carrying the bags of weaponry. But he could rest later, for now he had to make sure everyone knew what they were going to do and who they were. Prometheus had been the one to make the speech that would inpsire everyone that this was a new leaf, a new life but Axel did not have that speech. All he knew was that they had to at least trust him in finding them a place.
After knocking on the hotel room doors of everyone and calling out for a meeting in the hotel lobby area, Axel went to prepare his small station of presentation. Soon enough, everyone appeared to spill into the room with grunts and whispers, wandering gazes locking onto the fidgeting figure of Axel as he paced back and forth, dark eyebrows stitched together as he went to a halt and tuned towards his audience, tensing up when he realized they were waiting for him. "Oh, right! Uh, everyone I know it's late but I need to speak to you about what's to be done about our future." He began, voice slightly shaking off at the end but not of nervousness, it was just all the burning energy that fueled Axel. The lean man began to pace again but kept his bright emerald eyes locked onto the others ashe decided to continue. "Prometheus is dead. I know that he will be missed but we do not have the resources or time to make a proper burial. We will bury him behind this hotel in the forest before we leave. If anyone wants to be there, it will be at dawn. And then we leave. We are going to our new home, Blackfall." He ignored the faint murmurs that began to drizzle from the group, knowing that they were still hesitant but they had fought a war and if they ever went back, it would have been for nothing. And as much as Axel enjoyed a comforting place, he was sick of his old home and would prefer to die than set foot in that cursed land again. Too much blood, sweat, and tears had been spilled for them to allow this opportunity to be left for someone else. They deserved it.
The raven-haired boy then quickly headed towards the wall where he had pinned the worn map he had been using, his index finger hitting an area that had a large bold crimson circle. "This right here is gonna be our new home. It's a city I think. Something like that and I know you are all tired but it's only a few miles away from here. This could be our chance to do more, a chance to become the system we had wanted for so long. And I want to just say that any ranks in the past will be wiped clean for a new system will be created. I've got some ideas but none of them are official. But when they are, I will be looking out for people that actually want to help and improve our group. We are outsiders, all we have is each other." Axel glanced around to everyone, fiery green gaze holding a spark of excitement and wonder. As much as Axel pertended to be a tough guy especially with his appearance, he was still what one would consider a "kid". He had the energy that was needed for their group to become more, to be something unfortgettable.
Axel allowed a lopsided grin to plaster itself on his face as he took a step forward to the crowd, tussled black hair hardly visible in the darkness except for the lazy golden glows of few candlesticks they had found. He sucked in a small breath, the smell of the hotel reminding him of the old days when things had been good and trouble-free. And he would bring those days back but in his own way. Clearing his throat and waving his tattooed hand towards the other members of Blackfall, he called out "Comments? Concerns? Questions? I need em now or I will head out to catch a few winks. So if you have anything to say, say it now." It was better for them to state type of information to him. He was their leader now and as odd as the choice of why he had been picked the first place still baffled Axel. He had never expected any of this to happen. But it was happening now and all he could do now was adapt to the situation of his new nation.
