The devil in my reflection [Return]

[Eon]

Eon Allure

Slowly, reality came back to him. His breathing intensified, and the dizziness slowly faded slightly though it was still very apparent. He could feel someone nudge his wing. As soon as he was able to move his eyelids they would shoot open, revealing his azure irises that were significantly dimmer than they were before, though no one but himself would probably take much notice of them.

His vision was still blurry and his mind still foggy as he tried to make out who was there. Was it someone he knew? They spoke his name, so the only logical explanation was that they had met at least once.  His vision adjusted just enough that he could make out a feline in front of him. She was probably the one nudging at his wings. “A-ares?” a soft voice would escape him. He didn’t know them too well, yet he knew who they were. He was just relieved to be back in Tanglewood.

Before responding, the fox would roll over slightly and uncurl his wings from around his body. There was a deep sigh that escaped his breath as contemplated what he had learned… what he wasn’t supposed to know about his past. He had his divinity stripped from him, and with that, many memories of being an angel. They were locked so deep in his soul he could no longer look at them without these pounding headaches... Yet the memories still managed to haunt him.

His focus soon fell back on the feline. “I’m awake” he’d say, though he didn’t really feel it. He stumbled onto his paws and adjusted himself into a sitting position. There was still a painful pounding in his head which made him wince… but at least he was conscious again.
