GOTTA TAKE SOME TIME TO REALIZE
THAT MY FRIENDS THEY COME
AND THE LINES THEY GO BY
Minute the shift within stilled vision, brief the afterburn painted against the fluttering closure of lids though eyes flicked away from central figure, left in fleeting wake a poor imitation. Where once gold ruled in delicate swirls, touched against the ridges of serpentine frame coiled in semblance of relaxation in illuminated veil, lacklustre the rust of fine strands. Brief flick of summer born lightning the clouding presence arising upon dark countenance, where once had painted the delicate touches of innocent curiosity tight the severe curl against released lips, harsh replacement in dawning annoyance.
The blood present within family ran all the more shallow than that of the chosen, yet what made they, the one who ran and the one that beckoned with open arms.
Naive the trivialisation, surface level if even such may be adequately detailed in base descriptor, deep running the buried rot sowed in days long since laid to rest. Soft the sigh he voiced, proximity closed until to cheek may nose be briefly pressed. Once more did Toad allow distance to grow, silent an observer as Rhinestone handled his duty, yet, with each word spoken in effort to impart imagery of dignified regality, he saw only the child they had once been. Muffled the amusement masked with rather poor cough, arising paw in further hope dispelled the notion he may find anything about the situation unfolding laughable.
"A dragon…" Quiet the reverence that echoed through strained murmur, legend offered tangible sinew and muscle bound in scaled flesh, notion his mind found issue with even as the softness of their speech washed over him over more, aged beyond the meagre time he had seen trickle through the hourglass. "You could say something like that, don't recall many tales about dragons." Peppered among those more familiar fantastical the direction a few select storytellers had taken, yet few had dared to come to any conclusion on the matter of truth.
On the conversation continued, reduced to mere bystander as it grew apparent a leader the draconic beast — Bai Shi, a name interesting as that which carried it — prevailing over a land a short proximity from these shores. Hard the press of his lips as thoughts ran wild, curious over what else may be located in dense woodland that clustered along the cliffs. Lull in talk, business far from conclusion, yet arising the voice of a mere warrior.
"I would be willing to be apart of the envoy, if you are alright with that." Second thought the notion of seeking approval, expected reservations on the matter of his conclusion as it had been his own wanderlust that had further widened the gulf present between them. Yet the notion of travel, monitored and based upon a task that may be beneficial to both, offered both an avenue to queel such desire and erase the guilt that plagued his each thought.
