When they'd said Tanglewood, Cyprian hadn't thought he'd end up here. This had all been farmland, not, as the name and now appearance now implied, tangled woodlands. The ominous crater he'd spotted from the skies was the likely culprit for the sad state the once pleasant settlement was in.
-------It had felt like just days since his last battle. In some ways, that was true. The heart which had been ripped from his chest decades ago still felt an echo of pain. Cyprian did his best to be in the moment, away from a time that no longer existed. The years he'd missed led him here, fighting in a war he didn't believe in with people he hardly knew. He wouldn't have it any other way. This was bound to be fun.
-------Scanning the area the phoenix's eyes sought the winged feline they'd come for. Alexandre, as he'd had been told, was taken by Tanglewood during some territorial dispute. Cyprian found the whole idea kind of crap, but he wasn't one to miss out on the excitement of a raid. In a life where he wasn't closely connected to anyone, death didn't mean much.
-------Having not immediately found Alexandre the phoenix swooped lower looking for a small creature to either pick up and drop or take home with him. No longer could he simply charbroil his enemies. These were some of the only tactics he had left lest he wish to break a wing and be left behind.
