Brothers in Bond

[Mikkaddo]

Mikkaddo screamed anew at Arashi, his voice was breaking and his throat felt like it was ripping apart and flying out of him in pieces. "THAT'S NOT ME! I'M HERE! IT CAN'T BE ME THERE!" They didn't see him, he was somehow invisible, and, apparently, mute as well despite his yelling. This was awful, there had to be something he could do.

He stormed around, ending up on the frozen water, he felt his feet touching the ice, felt the chill it left on his skin and turned back around to see them again. That's when the sound came once more, a horrifying giggle that chilled him deeper to the bone than the ice under him did. "You can't be serious . . . they won't see you, they won't hear you . . . you're too far away, you're down there, on the ground . . . and look at that, several times larger than before. Hmm, I wonder what they will think . . . I wonder how they'll deal with that. I wonder what the Cat is planning to do with that torch of his."

That was when Mikkaddo had an idea . . . he remembered now, suddenly, when the burning searing metal touched the wound in his chest, he looked down at himself, seeing the wound on his chest and on the one on the ground too. He looked at Arashi's torch and rushed toward him. Grabbing at it and pulling. He pulled the flaming branch and somehow, unlike the Panther or the Bunny, the branch came with him, not slipping from Arashi's grip, but pulling him as well, he pulled the burning ember end to his chest, and felt it burn, felt everyhting go blinding white and red and the next thing he knew, his eyes were open, and his body was normal.

He was on the ground again, smoke sifting up through the air from a fresh burn on his chest where the wound had been touched before, he panted again and again, seemingly unable to get enough air into him with any breath to be able to survive. "Gods . . .what . . . where . . . Arashi . . . Neris, what the FUCK is going on?!"

Staying back behind Arashi, knowing that he was tired and i was tired.  Just wanting a night of rest, my ears keeping back against my head as i stood there watching Arashi and Mik.   Whispering softly to Arashi.-  "Do you think he is okay?"-Seeing the torch get lifted in the air by something.  I squeek and move to hide more behind Arashi.  Just wanting now with wide eyes.

Looking down to the ground seeing Mik laying there awake and smoking from his chest.  My ears perked up hearing Mik's voice.  I step to the side to get a cup and fill it with ice water.  I slowly come over to Mik to help him sit up as i offer up the ice cold water to him. "i am sure we could ask you the same thing.  I don' t know what is going on, but we are in my  tribes temple for safety.  Or until we can rest then move on.  I am not sure how long it will take them to find this place.  It's been abandoned for years. "  keeping my ears up looking a bit more tired just wanting to rest now seeing that mik was hopefully okay.  I turn to look to arashi then back to Mik.  "we all need rest. "  my voice was soft while i sat near Mik keeping the cup up for him to take and drink.

Neris was right, they all needed sleep. His sleep deprived mind could barely handle everything that was going on right now. Truth was, a lot of strange shit was happening and none of it made any sense. Maybe they were all going mad, That seemed the only logical answer.
The panther rubbed his face, taking a deep breath.
"What the fuck..." *His jaws clenched as he couldn't help the absurdity of it all. They had just escaped certain death only to death with this bullshit. If there were gods out there they certainly had a stupid sense of humor.
  His paws clenched in fists, he didn't look at his companions.
"Yeah, your right Neris..Sleep.."

[Mikkaddo]

Mikkaddo was panting hard and fast, his hands clutched at his chest, like he couldn't get enough air into his lungs. "What . . . what the fuck?! what . . . what is even going on? Arashi, what was that? why was I on the ground? why couldn't you see me? what . . . where are we? what's going on?" He was looking side to side, soft cracking and shattering sounds coming from the pool near them as the thin ice that had formed earlier was now melting and shifting at the same time.

Sitting on the ground looking up to Mik as i move over to him and touched his lips with my fingers gently.-  "It's okay Mik."  -my ears lowered back against my head as i look into his eyes with my own softly eyes.-  "Breath slowly and deeply.  Calm down.  Your okay.  We are in a safe place.   This was a temple of my people.  It was destroyed by invaders, and we abandoned it for safer grounds.  We don't know what happened to you.  You were hurt and Arashi catheterized the wound.  then this dark black mass took over you.  We don't know what happened." -just keeping a calming presences and it helped that i was tired and needed sleep. - "We have a few days here to rest and gather our strength before moving on. " -pulling my finger away from Mik's lips.-  "arashi and i both need sleep, and so do you.  Please lets rest and look at what happened with out tired minds.  Please Mik."  -looking up to him with my soft concerned eyes..-
