Kester was not one that Aurum had known well, despite his best efforts to change that fact. The other had seemed skittish and pained, especially after they had figured out that the device around their neck was nothing but a Geiger counter, believing that it had been leading them into danger. It seemed as though, eventually, danger had found them, although not in the form that they might have once expected. Instead, it was in the form of an enemy that Tanglewood knew, and despised, very well. The Pitt was, as far as Aurum was concerned, a terrible and rotten place, full of heinous creatures that took pleasure in the pain of others. That was what it had always been, and what it would always be, in the end. The angel had not thought they had changed after Jervis's death, figuring it would only be so long before the other shoe dropped, and Kydobi revealed his true nature – the cowardly and slimy beast that the other was. It seemed as though the other shoe finally had dropped, although not under the reign of Kydobi, unbeknownst to Aurum.
The smell of the Pitt alone was enough to cause the lion's hackles to raise, his one eyed gaze hardening when he found the scent faintly lingering at the edge of town. However, his mood only grew worse when he came upon the trail of blood leading away from Keter's house, and heard a piercing howl echo through the air. His ears flattened against his head, and he let out a roar in response, racing through the trees after the blood and the scent as far as his legs – and wings – could carry him. Unfortunately, it wasn't enough. By the time he reached the true scene of the gruesome murder, Worm was already long gone, leaving only Keter's mutilated body in his wake. Aurum's entire body was faintly shaking as he stared down at the corpse, his one pupil narrowed down to a sharp, rage filled slit. Eventually, the dam broke, and he let out a roar of agony into the sky, slowly laying down beside the other's remains. His voice was full of venom as he rumbled, softly, "I'm sorry... I'm so sorry, Keter... I will make this right. I will make them regret the very day they thought they could hurt another Tanglewood soul." The scent of the Pitt still hung heavy on the air, and Aurum's bloodlust against the violent group was, once again, reignited.
