Higan
The family so brash and bold held so much love behind the cold metal that was their skin. Even with a frigid gale blowing open the door to reveal the silhouette of her older brother nothing but that love radiated from their home. In his arms, he carried two dead geese, each fat enough to sit upon young Higan.
"I had more than fun, I had a blast!"The young boy roared, a small hint of the bloodlust he held was noticeable even if only for a moment. Right now it had not been fueled, or harnessed. He was still just a boy, filled with so many curiosities and potentials. Still, she knew the type of man he would become, or was it that he could become?
"Well don't just stand there and get them cleaned, that is if you want them getting cooked sometime soon?" Their mother prodded the young boy while her father walked over to the case in which he stored the axe he carried. A weapon not a part of himself, and something he cared for greatly.
"Listen to your mother and both of you sit, we need to enjoy dinner, and I must break the news of my soon departure....."Mya
"You're on the right track I'd say" the herne would say, impressed with his younger sister. It was far from perfect, but it was the start to refining her abilities as a better killing machine. All the best hunters traveled in packs, and you were only ever as strong as the weakest link. She could be greater than him but that was still yet to be seen. For now, they would have to keep practicing.
"I can take you out shooting later" he would say as the shadows creeped in. It was time for shift to change and for them to head home. It was a long walk, but they'd be safe together. Not many would risk attacking them, especially with the badges holding their cloaks up. With the sign of Murmurr's house they were respected, even they were but lowly Herne's to some.
"Let's take a long way, there's less trouble. Besides its not like there's anyone waiting at home for us."His tone was happy but somewhat dejected. There were other adults and kids, but their family had only just left no an expedition. That left that pair to do their duties, to work well, and then take care of them at home. The question was, for how long would they?
Mana
"Well, let me show you how it goes... the young girl Siobhan said. At first, she seemed nervous to show off the game, but it was clear why in a matter of moments. Her arms would vanish, seeping into the ground as 4 pairs in separated parts of the room.
"It's rather simple these arms will move around, going up and down. We hum a song, or set the music box, when the music stops who ever is standing on the arms highest in the air wins the round."While she spoke Murmurr walked over to the music box. It seemed she had chosen her method of keeping time for their game. The song would start off gently, it was almost like a dream. It was a waltz, one that would bring the girl deeper into this moment, hopefully, she'd enjoy it. For it was the last gift of serenity the would taste in a good long time.
Aspicious
"If you wish to be a king you will learn, you will fight. You will keep that pride even when I kill it a hundred times over. You must earn that attitude you carry or I will beat it out of you. Now I suggest you get your fill up of food for the night. From what I can tell, we're do for a long winter."As the beast looked on, encouraging the youth he could only but wonder. It wasn't a real winter that worried him, no it was the changing tides and growing alliances. The weak grouped together to be stronger and smarter than greater foes. While had not faced it himself, he could see in the land, in the people, in the creatures he shared home with. There was something that would make them all feel weak.
Hiiro
Erin would walk up the the young boy, grasping his metal hands with his own. They were tools, but it was almost as if he could feel through. The rukh between the two of them almost seemed to resonate despite the difference in their souls, in the truth of this existence.
"There is great potential in the vastness of it though. The strength comes in the way in which you can harness it further.Wodin as well, would place his gauntlets on theirs, they had work to get done. To learn to use these tools, to learn how to work the forge themselves in order to supply the land with better weapons, things to withstand the armies of mages that they would eventually have to face.
Homunculus
Caliburn realized when it came to the young Homunculus he was going to have to help shape this weapon as he himself seemed to be indecisive. To be strong, to be a warrior, not the first challenge for the young man was to find himself. It was uncertain. He was away from his father, away from his world. He would be raised in a time and life that is hard to question if it was ever real, the rukh was confused, but fate still had its' mark.
