Shadowwyn Moor The Trail We Blaze

Raziel finally got to see Scarlett's pups, it should have given him the incentive to stay and rule Bearclaw Valley, to patrol his lands with the ferocity of a lion, to bond with his packmates. But all he felt was a strange iciness in his heart, slowly spreading through his body, turning his warm blood to pure and unyielding ice, covering hollow heart with an armor made of cold dislike, made of the negative emotions. Ever since Kove's return to the Valley, the Roman realized that the 'bad' emotions was ruling his head, he realized that logic no longer reigned. He realized that without knowing he had fallen head over heels for Scarlett once more, and this time he could not bring himself to let go.

Finally deciding he should get a break, Raziel departed from Bearclaw Valley and made for the moors where he had met a burly female healer who taught him about herbs. Somehow he drew comfort the plains, drew comfort from being alone. Perhaps he should go back to Noctem Vagus and be with his various siblings there, perhaps his hollow heart would heal there.

Raziel sat himself beside a low rock where the bird was. But he was so lost in his thoughts he failed to notice the other's presence.
