Shadewood kicking rocks and breaking teeth

@Deku or @Valour maybe? or both hehe

life is cruel. it’s filled with awful things and wicked people. but there was always something that bought some light into it. for orochi that something was his mother. he appreciated all those little moments with her. the playing, the sleeping, the conversations. he had didn’t see the importance of that before but now it became painfully clear now that she was gone.

things were more silent than ever before. he had no interest in playing with the other kids. he had only seen one, but she was just as quiet and weird as deku, so he assumed everyone was like that. there was minori, but their relationship was complicated. orochi didn’t hate her but he didn’t exactly like her either. she took care of him as a mother should, but she could never be takara. even if he did want to play with her it wasn’t like there was enough time in the day. she led everything around here and had a lot of responsibilities. this left him alone on most days.

the little dragon had kept himself busy by playing around with every little thing he could find. it was afternoon now, orochi basked in the sun with an unamused look on his face. you can only play with sticks and rocks for so long before getting bored.
