NE ZHA

[NE ZHA @MutedEmbers]

<< he left as well.

His tail reached over for his small satchel this his father used but left behind. There, he packed his journal, quill, ink, and that old book about his kind.

Nez’s mind was already made up.

[NE ZHA @MutedEmbers]

Seeing him leave the room, it was evident that they were going to console with his mother.

She wasn’t going to be much help either as she already moved on.

Of course she thought he was gone.

Nez’ stood up from his bed and wandered around his room, seeing that >>

[Merlin @Grey_Warlock]

" There's has to be away for him to believe me— "

Saying to himself as he was making his way back to his bedroom with Celeste waiting.

The fox explained everything and discuss and what's time to tell Nezha the truth. Even if he gets mad or not.

[NE ZHA @MutedEmbers]

<< they were in the process of prepping for their new child.

Like his father, he would be replaced.

They came here to find help for his mother, not to start a new family. They were fine just the two of them.

He huffed out a cloud of smoke.

Maybe it was best that >>

[NE ZHA @MutedEmbers]

<< He was always around him, playing and holding him. If he wasn't with him, then his father was clinging onto his mother.

It was the ideal, happy family. . Just them.

Thinking of those fond memories, Nez' didn't realize that he was dripping tears down his cheek.

[NE ZHA @MutedEmbers]

He would never believe it even if he tried.

The boy kept his gaze down to his feet--The flame on his head was trying to rise but he was trying to supress that emotion from him.

His father wouldn't just leave him without saying something. They were always attatched. >>

[Merlin @Grey_Warlock]

" Nez. . . I'm telling you the truth. Remember how sick your mother was and your grandparents had to take care of you?

The reason why is because she was cursed due to her heart being broken. . . . And if you don't believe me, then you could ask your mom. "

[NE ZHA @MutedEmbers]

Hard to believe him since, you know. . The guy is sleeping with his mother.

Of course he’s going to say that.

Nez’ rolled his eyes and kept his fist together, squeezing them to fight the urge to not tackle this guy.

[Merlin @Grey_Warlock]

— saying goodbye are telling where he will be. "

[NE ZHA @MutedEmbers]

<< bed to take a seat and wait.

[NE ZHA @MutedEmbers]

They know something?

For how long?

He’d look at him with almost a glimmer of hope that maybe his father is around and simply hiding from shame.

He’d get up and wandered to his room, only to see it being set up for the new child.

Great.

He’d huffed, moving to his >>

[Merlin @Grey_Warlock]

— " Nez. For now go to your room. . . Your mother and I need to tell you something about your dad. "

[NE ZHA @MutedEmbers]

The clear silence was enough of an answer for them.

No trace of their father, even from the known place he’d be. Training day and night, hoping that forced evolution would be the key.

Nez took a bite of his apple all while picking up all that he’d dropped.

[Merlin @Grey_Warlock]

— his true father is out there somewhere.

" You we're looking for your dad. . .right? "

[NE ZHA @MutedEmbers]

Nez’ rubbed his fist in silence, making a clicking sound with his teeth as a response.

He refused to look at him.

His muscles tensed after shaking off the pain in his knuckles before picking up an apple from the floor.

[Merlin @Grey_Warlock]

As he coughed then rubbed his neck, he further expects the intruder until he realized.

" Nezha?! Is that you—? "

[NE ZHA @MutedEmbers]

His brows furrowed as his strength grew the more he’d look at him.

Disgust.

This guy really did replace his father’s place quickly, didn’t he?

Replacing him with a new kid?

He’d slammed his fist near their face, leaving a hole into the wall before letting him go.

[Merlin @Grey_Warlock]

Merlin was struggling to escape the chimp's grasp. But with his stick the unable to be in his reach due to the takedown, the fox needs to think of something crafty.

" Get your hands off of me!! Before you get yourself hurt!! "

[NE ZHA @MutedEmbers]

Pregnant? Wife?

He’d drop his late night snack and immediately lunged towards him with extreme speed—Almost as fast as a flickering flame.

Soon enough, the fox was pinned against the wall. Nez’s fist was raised, aimed to make the strike.

What did this guy to do his mom!?

[Merlin @Grey_Warlock]

" Drop the apples. . .those are for my pregnant wife and adopted son. . . "

Whenever he returns. He hasn't seen Nezha for a long time. Probably the reason why Celeste is in stresses state as she is now.

[NE ZHA @MutedEmbers]

Nez’ quickly turned around, fruit in hand and a good amount of apple slices in his mouth.

Having the wand pointed at his direction shocked him, but it wasn’t too alarming.

He was more shocked that he was awake at such an hour!

[Merlin @Grey_Warlock]

He heard a large racket coming from the kitchen. The fox was in high alert knowing an intruder went through his barrier. . . . But also planning to steal his food.

So the fox rushes towards the kitchen with a Psyshock ready to strike.

" Put down the food or I'll end your life—"

[NE ZHA @MutedEmbers]

@Grey_Warlock

Late at night—The large chimp quietly made himself back at home.

Firstly digging into the food rations looking for his favorite kind of apple to munch on.

[NE ZHA @MutedEmbers]

@CleverGarde

Broke in to munch on all of the bread that was placed out.

[NE ZHA @MutedEmbers]

He’d rather be silent than speak.

If he could use his words, he probably wouldn’t shut up. Ask questions. Be angry.

Maybe it was for the best.

He’d hug his cousin, tightly.

[Nereus @RightousWaves]

" It's difficult isn't it. But I know you're gifted. . .everyone is. . . .I think.

You just have to find a way to property communicate with others. "

[NE ZHA @MutedEmbers]

He doesn’t know why he’s like this. The kid was smart but, the sounds wouldn’t even come out.

Ah well.

Nez’ breathed out a small flame.

That’s how he could speak. Just flames and fire.

[Nereus @RightousWaves]

" Must be hard not having the ability to talk. Only a few could really could understand you. . "

Nereus it really feels bad for his 'cousin'. Not only you've lost his father, but does it have the ability to talk as well.

But still he seem cheerful. . .he hopes.

[NE ZHA @MutedEmbers]

Frustrating when he couldn’t use his words.

Nezha gave his ‘cousin’ a light pat on his head as a thank you. He would at least want to stay here for a while to hang out with him.

[Nereus @RightousWaves]

" Maybe you should my sister about the truth. That's fox boy might be i'm protecting you from the truth as well.

Do I know why. No, because I didn't know my uncle—I mean you're father. But i'm guessing they're trying to protect you. "

[NE ZHA @MutedEmbers]

Miss—He’d been over missing his father.

It was the unknown to what had happened to him that’s eating at him alive.

He shook his head and looked over towards the home that Nereus was staying at.

How long has he been here for?

[Nereus @RightousWaves]

" You miss your dad? You're real dad?. . . . "

Nereus you never knew his uncle. All he knew was that he disappeared and left his sister sick.

But looking at Nezha, he must have been a great guy.

[NE ZHA @MutedEmbers]

Always asking if he was alright. .

But, he wasn’t despite always faking a smile.

He wrote down ‘dad’ in the sand and sad back again, looking at him for a response.

[Nereus @RightousWaves]

" Nez. . . .are you okay, dude? "

He doesn't know the full story of why and how his sister got sick but he obviously know that his sister had another lover before the fox.
