like the poor feline beneath his paw, drowning in their own blood by the way he listened to them gurgle and wheeze. his lip curled slightly at the stench, though deep down he felt alive. he hadn't killed in a long time, and the feeling of having someone writhe beneath him, begging mercy... oh, how he had missed it. maw twisted in a wicked grin, the direwolf bent down, sightless eyes boring into the dying feline's for a long moment, before he wrenched to the side and snapped his jaws around their neck. a loud, glorious crunch, and the body fell lifeless.
before coming to this world, bubonicplague had been ruthless. a creature born of hell and raised in war. he was cold-blooded. a monster ( still is, never free of it ) that killed without thought, killed without a care for his victim's life or whatever family or goals they had to look forward to. it was when he was stealing lives, reaping souls, that he truly felt alive. yet over time, he grew softer. when he fell and love and had children, settled down, he toned it down, for the better of his loved ones and for his own well-being.
it didn't last long. never did.
shit happened, people died. it was commonplace in the demon's life, something he was used to, but it hurt. fuck, it hurt when rick was murdured, it fucking hurt when lirim died. it hurt when he left them all. why did it have to hurt? demons shouldn't feel. the pain faded, eventually. slowly, so slowly, it faded. but it never went away. only when he reunited with his husband did it disappear. he was happy, he could feel, felt his heart swell with each day in their company. but the two of them were ghosts, long due of losing their place in the living. though they weren't dead, they weren't around either. bubonicplague was tired of it, though nothing would change. he would always be a ghost. a beast that lurked in the shadows, the monster beneath some poor creature's bed. how tragic a life, cursed to ever walk the land in search of a purpose. he'd never be free.
the direwolf hovered silently at the border, white eyes staring ever ahead of him, empty but oozing malice. he'd heard word of a growing group of rogues, ruthless in nature, warmongers killing without reason. the rosebloods. it was certainly a name that he could get used to. a lovely, but deadly name, a welcome difference from the shit old 'exiles.' though he missed the place, it was far past time he moved on. this group was a perfect fit.
he licked his dry, bloodied lips. "bubonicplague." he rumbled out. might as well skip the irritating questioning and state his intentions right away. "joining."
