Northstar Vale The Boy Who Lived

Collision is delivering the news that Yuudai has passed. @Hiromi @Vespera @Reiko anyone is welcome in this thread. I will be posting either on the 25th or when the three tagged have posted. Whichever comes first. @Takeshi if you'd like to be present. @Yuudai here's yo big ded

The plan had been set into motion. Yuudai was gone. His scent wavering from the Empire. Collision's had been too as he had gone out and searched for a new home to call his own. There was exhaustion laden on his features and his body slightly thinner. It had been awhile since he had thought to eat. The concept seeming something he didn't need for now. He had figured Kaistleoki would be a good alternative, and after his talk with Ira he was much closer to making his decision. 

 He did need to seek out Awenfen, however, especially since she was an unknowning key to their lie. And even though it was a lie...it didn't seem like it. Pain echoed off of them in screams--strong and unwavering. Illuminating on just how fearful they truly were of their dark future. And the ultimate lie was that Yuudai had died.

Hadn't he?

 Hadn't the male endured something so painful that it seemed as though he wouldn't come back from it? Perhaps breath still coursed him and a heart still pumped with strength, but something in the man died that day. Something died in all of them. It was visible through the vacant expression that had dawned each of their eyes. It was obvious in the distress they didn't even begin to understand anymore. 

 It was only hopeful that they might all be able to pull this off and return things to the state in which they should be. Of course, Collision was hesitant to know if this was truly a place he could find happiness within anymore. He knew only time would tell, but presently he thought the betrayal commited by Reiko could never be washed away. She was tainted by darkness. Perhaps always she had been, but Collision could not condone such behavior. The guard was heartbroken, but would always stand true to himself. A lesson he felt she should become all the wiser to. 

 He comes to the border of the Empire. He does not pass it and does not wish to. They need to know that he will not act as a pawn to their wishes any longer. This is no longer his home and he will not claim it as such any longer. Removing himself from their ranks seemed only the best thing that he could do. The male's head craned backwards and he summoned those of the Empire. All of those that he felt needed to know. Everyone. He wanted them all to know of the crime that had been commited at the hand's of Takeshi. He needed to let them know that their new emperor was a murderer. He dreaded to see the pain that would grasp Hiromi. Even the pain he knew Reiko would endure. Even if he felt it, ultimately, her fault. 

For now--he waited.
