Reaching up brushing off the soot as it blew away dissolving in the wind. His wings tucked against his back covered in soot as well. Ash and soot covered most of his body, parts of soot blowing off of his body. Standing at the cliffs edge, "Mom.. I.. I failed. She.. I.." Closing his golden eyes as soot blew over his face, a flash of memories came to his mind.
"Hey! You in there?! I have news! Look at this!" A female voice called out, as a anvil was in front of him. His hands and body covered in ashes and soot. A blade in his hands forming in the darkness over the anvil. his fingers bending the shadows as a light barely visible began to form around the handle.
"..." He didn't reply as his eyes were focus, before a bright light shined in. The blade dissolved as he fell forward some. As he turned to see a black and red skinned female. She stared with her sapphire eyes directly towards him. "F-fuck Mavil wha-!" She blew a bit of powder into his face interrupting him. He leaned back closing his eyes as he fell asleep instantly.
His body froze in place, 'ha.. fuckin' Mavil ha ha. I never got to thank you. You made sure, I got some sleep.' His wings shook while flexing open. 'I'm your brother.. I'm older I get to go first!' He yelled, as a nightmare of the past came back once again.
"MAVIL! I'M COMING!" He yelled running his heart beating heavy and fast staring at his sister. Her golden pigtails braided fall to the ground as she fell upon her back laying on her black and red wings. A sword raised before smashing against a dome over her body. Her eyes stared blankly as she tried to keep her eyes open, she was exhausted and worn.
A shadow of a small handaxe formed in his hand throwing it at the one wielding the sword. Knocking the weapon away easily, stopping them for a moment. A large figure stood towering over Mavil, they spoke in words she could understand, but he couldn't. "GET AWAY FROM HER!"
A roaring familiar voice yelled out nearby. "MAVIL!" It was their friend Lionel 'of the white mane' roaring out as he was rushing forward towards the figure as well. Pulling his bow out while running shooting out a arrow before putting his bow back and pulling out another weapon. Growling angrily slashing at the figure furiously. "MAVIL! CHANCE! MAVIL!"
The small handaxe of shadow was hovering over his hand, a blade cut into the figures leg with a deep cut. A frosted blade slided into the figures leg, the figure cried out annoyed as they continued to slam their sword against the dome. Both of Lionel and Chance were struck away, as Chance quickly ran back towards the figure cutting at it's wounded leg.
"GET AWAY FROM MY SISTER!" The figure flew up into the air before he could strike, Mavils eyes closed exhaustedly. The dome had disappeared around her body as she was collapsed on the ground. Flying above the blade of the sword with laughter from the figure. A whip of their tail sent both Lionel and Chance back again.
Her body shook on the ground repeatedly being pierced but the figures sword through her body and the ground below. The sword glowing with blood "MAVIL!!" He as fast as his feet could take him, before flying after the figure flying quickly away the wound healing. Leaving a scar along its legs and the side of it's body stopping before flying back to Mavil.
His wounds slowing him down before landing back onto the ground. Rushing over to Lionel and Mavil, Lionel stepped away from her body. Lionel shaking with his paws gripping his weapons tears being wiped away with his head lowered.
"I-I'm .. s-sorry." Lionel said aloud. Chance growled his wings wrapped around Mavil. "SHUT UP! SHE'LL BE FINE!" Chance pulled out a small vial with a inscription. 'Mavil special' "Mavil special.. She'll be good as new!" Chances voice was shaking, using the vial. Placing the empty vial down afterwards her body didn't react as a she laid limp in his arms. Scooting her up perching her onto his legs with her bird-like feet. He held her closer wrapping his tail around them body as her wound was bandaged, but her blood was soaking his hands and wings.
Shaking his head trying not to think as he opened up his golden eyes the tears that were falling from his face shined in the moonlight. Each stream of tears gave his face a glow, staring out at the vast clouds below him. "I failed Mom." He stood over the cliff, tears streaming down his eyes as soot and ash were combining blowing the tears. "I.. I should have been there." A piece of armor and weapons he was making for her clenched in his hands. "I.. I-i couldn't make these fast enough. Mavil. I'm sorry, I'm so-sorry." He began to stutter shaking his hands holding her equipment close to his chest.
Staring down at the howling winds, clouds his wings tucking against his back. His feet stepped closer to the edge feeling the push of the wind. His gaze turned upward, "Moon goddess.. I'm sorry, I failed my sister. I tried to save my sister. I tried, I was too late." It had been a few weeks since Mavil had passed, standing alone at the cliff side. Behind him a city enclosed in a mountain side, with winds someone could fly up to the city or tunnel through the caverns of the mountain.
