strayed from the path - open; return

He had never been the outgoing type, never really one to challenge anything or ask too many questions. At the time he had been just the child of two leaders who had found themselves in a interesting position. Their story wrapped up in what anyone would say was magic. He was always in the background, too wrapped up to think of himself as ever having any sort of story. That was how he enjoyed his life, he didn't anything more. Just those sweet trips to go across the ocean and see his father when he could. That was it. That was just how it should have been before things got worse. Now there was nothing, no him, no feeling. Just a sense of floating but nothing more. It was almost surreal really. He didn't even think about how it had all happened just that he was there now. Time seemed so sluggish, or maybe it didn't even exist at all. It seemed to last for a long while till he finally felt something, a stinging, clenching muscles. Groggily he moved, feeling stiff. Stretching out long limbs and swallowing against a dry thought. Wait...moving, swallowing.

Golden blue eyes slowly opened up and his jaws parted on a sudden intake of air. He almost broke into a coughing fit with how harsh it was as he looked around himself. Something was off, he could feel it and slowly the maned wolf like creature pushed himself to is paws. Limbs shaky he tittered there and tried to look around himself. He knew one thing though, he had surely died. He remembered being dragged down into the depths of the ocean almost as if he were just watching the scene. His final moments having been a plea to the others before darkness had consumed him and now he stood here instead. Alive but feeling so odd. Silks draped his night sky colored form and he slowly moved a leg forward, taking an experimental step. The grace and sureness of the form helped him along as he began to walk, not really knowing where he was going but that he needed to get home.

Twin tails lingered behind him, soft grey of his paws pressing delicately against snow and ice before he actually found the forest. He twitched his pierced nose, looking at it and causing himself to go cross eyed for a moment before he slipped his way almost too quietly along the foliage. Keeping the stillness that hung oppressively in the air. As he departed the forest and came to the beach, there was no fear as he looked at the water and instead the gladiator called out with a light tone, looking an hoping to find them again. ''Guys....um, I'm back. I, I guess I'm in this body now and it's kind of weird.''

How, how much to light up my star again and rewire all my thoughts? Oh baby, won't you remind me what I am? And break, break my little cold heart. I'm living someone else's life. Suppressing who I was inside. I don't know if I can be alone again. I don't know if I can sleep alone again.
