Hideaway Strath ragwort,

This is after Alduin got banged up by Sasha so feel free to have her acknowledge scars/healing wounds and all! ;D

Alduin is doing the same thing Momo is: running off into the night. Except his isn’t to have fun chasing bugs and the such. No. Now, he’s almost afraid to go by himself anywhere after what Sasha had done to him. His hind right leg is still healing from its broken state, but at least now he’s able to slightly walk on it. He’s limping heavily, but he can walk nonetheless. 

So while also he’s terrified to be alone, that’s all he wants to be. The bubbly Alduin the Saints are used to is no longer. Instead replaced by an overwhelming hatred — anger and revenge. Though, now he can’t get revenge. His father already did that for him. Yet, the feeling has not gone away. 

Tonight though, he tries to overcome his fears. Stepping away from his mothers den to find himself in an area surrounded by beautiful fireflies. He’s mesmerized, bloody eyes widening in awe. Until he freezes when he sees movement out of the corner of his eye. He tilts his head ever so slightly when he sees a pup much smaller than him, but somehow she looks familiar. With the wispy hair along her long ears and the soft, inviting features. It clicks then. She looks like Aerin! Perhaps she’s her pup. Now connecting the two, he knows she can’t hurt him, so he takes a risk and moves towards her. 

She looks like she’s having fun. He wants to have fun again, but the hatred and fear lives wretchedly within him since his attack. For a moment, he sighs, allowing it all to sail away with the wind. Not even minding the pain that blossoms in his leg and the scabs that was pull all over his body, he rushes forward. He moves in beside her in his own attempt to catch the firefly. A small smile on his maw and a bubbling but hesitant laugh falls from his lips as he pounced and bounds beside her to catch the fire lit bug. 

He wants to be normal again.
