[div style="background-color:#BG COLOR;width:90%; overflow: stretch;text-align: justify; font-size: 8pt;"] Argus remembers when she first got her wings. The first time, it wasn't painful. Waking up one day in a lonely little milk cave to soft dowry. Gods it was an experience trying to learn how to fly the first time. By the time she was an apprentice she would watch the rest of her clan from the clouds. All arrogance and petty competitiveness at their hopeful eyes. Knowing that she was given a plane that they could not wonder. A Place to explore that they could onlt gaze at.
Now, no longer.
her wings were a representation of a promise she broke. A freedom she no longer had the right to, some cruel power reminding her that she deserved to be grounded. No, Argus did not fly often. Her wings were most often tucked away. Only to be sprayed out to attack, to defend to kill-.
When she was a mother, she would offer her kids a seat on her back. Ride them into the sunset atop clouds. Watch the stars where they were the clearest. It was a sign of kinship one. Argus has used her wings to elevate others, and show them what it means to be free. But those were a different time. Long before she tied herself to the ground with pety revenge and tainted her soul with desperate need. With hate.
And when she had figured out how to retap into an old power- she had instantly attempted to test the distance. Surprised by her ability to communicate with him mentally and set up a meeting. But that surprise felt wrong, not compared to the ping that went off. The feeling that she just connected with more than one person. She had known that the deputy still had claws inside his head, but she did not think... No. No it was none of her business.
She could pass off the excuse of mike. The large hellhound colossal, and unpredictable. Would he attack her if she made a move to remove it? Argus didn't ask outwardly, instead watching him as she greeted the other. Impassive. A guard dog maybe? Things just got a little bit more tricky if she wanted to pull those claws out. excuses.
But it was, wasn't it? She was just afraid. Afraid to break his trust - break his mind in attempts to push his watcher out of his head. Too aware of how sharp her mind was, how quickly she could turn the other into a babbling mess. Because she has done it before. Oh dear gods has she. She would relish in watchdog the others scream in pain but now the thought makes her want to choke.-
She would just... have to wait.
So when she offered to take him flying, it was something she had considered before. It was spur of the moment then. Unable to really bring herself to tell him what she had planned to do before what she couldn't bring herself to do.
But the sky had a way to bring things to light. She remembers one of her clan mates joking about argus' 'kid test'. And gods it was kind of embarrassing to admit that it was true. She only did this with people she thought of, where she saw potential Seeing part of herself within the deputy. So much hurt and so much blood but still trying... Still trying to be better.
She wondered what would happen if she asked.
" You should see it when it's nightfall. The sky is so beautiful"
They were getting near the ascendants territory, and while Argus would normally take to flying him back home she felt her left wing give a jolt of pain. The limb still healing from getting speared by Beck moons ago. She knew she had to land soon, otherwise damage it further.
" Think you're okay with landing? " She let one last flap of her wings and felt her wing tremble with strain. Grinning through the air. she slowly angled downward. Keeping the decline stable.
When she came to landing, she could spot the large hellbeast heading closer towards them. dark red eyes ignoring the faint ping as him, instead facing the border of the ascendants. While they were considered neutral with her clan. Maybe they could stay for the night? Or at least, get some water before heading back.
Now, no longer.
