[ The fiery, blue blade of the follower blazes up, their burning wings rising, and without any further hesitation, they haphazardly swing their weapon towards the vulture as it approaches. ]
[ Have you truly learned nothing after all these years? ]
[ There was a moment of hesitation from the kitsune, as the soul and mind battled against each other in a never ending tug-o-war. ]
[ The soul did not wish to strike at the one they called their father. ]
++
[ the vulture leans towards the side , swooping around the direction of the pointed blade .
but still in the general direction β why ?
. . go on , strike him .
let the reaper see what you have learned from when you were once little . ]
++
[ The follower instinctively takes a step back, spawning their sword and dare raising the burning blade towards the incoming vulture. ]
[ They should not be able to feel emotions. That part of them has been stripped away by Illuminaβs light. ]
++
[ And yet, they could feel their instincts clawing at them to run. ]
[ Despite the lightβs influence, the soulβs true emotions have managed to find a way to seep through the cracks. ]
[ A small, glinting spark of hope ignites within the soul. Had their father not truly abandoned them? Yet, there a hint of fear. Why were they so afraid? After all that was their father. ]
[ No. ]
[ They know what they had done, the grave mistake that they have made. ]
++
[ They finally look up. ]
[ A vulture? ]
[ No. ]
[ Those translucent, golden wings gave it away. ]
[ They know those wings. ]
[ That was no vulture. ]
[ They see you oβ Father of Death. ]
[ They see past your avian disguise. ]
++
maybe even more so then usual now that their mind was no longer clouded with πͺπ¨ππ‘ππ¨π¨ thoughts. ]
[ The kitsuneβs ears perk up, just barely picking up the sound of silence wings slicing through the winds. ]
++
[ Somthing feltβ¦ π€ππ as they continued their endless march through the sands, almost as if they were being watched. Even if their caged could no longer feel emotions, their senses were still just as acute as ever,
++
[ silence , the vast expanse of the dunes felt like more of a prison then wherever his son was confined within β ]
[ the landscape suddenly feels oppressive . a vulture circles overhead β a predator looming over its target . ]
