SAVE ME FROM THIS NIGHTMARE || Nightmare + breakdown

and they saw trouble in my eyes
"speech." . 'thoughts' . attack

it seemed that the community of Tanglewood was plagued by restless nights and bad dreams. he had his own personal reasons for being awake long into the night, the Luminary dragging himself back from his forge set up off in the depths of the jungle, mind occupied by thoughts of bringing the forge into the village for easier access. he was pulled from his thoughts as he heard sound coming from solsken's house, whipping his head in the offending building's direction and already seeing a few forms rushing to gather outside the doors.

changing his own direction, the tabby tom approached the stairs and climbed up, weaving amongst the few other NPC members awake so late at night. he let out a raspy breath, tapping his paws upon the wooden boards of the patio to announce himself, slipping past Kiara and Liqueor, stepping over the thresh hold of Sol's home with a flick of his tail against the doorframe. his gaze found the form of Solsken within his home in the dark, the feline's eyes adjusting to the dark as he gave a slow breath and began to approach his adopted son, head lowered and tail drifting easily behind himself, in a position to show that he was no threat. he had a silent concern that shapeshifting could agitate the younger male even further. he would move as close as he was allowed by the other, gently reaching out a paw towards Solsken, a silent request to touch the youth to help him calm down.

they were quick to recognize the devil in me.
