I REMEMBER EVERYTHING // A Literal Return from the Grave

[Ares]

ARES THERVOS

Two years ago she had been buried next to her family, people she missed, people she was hoping to see after the rogue pittian attack. But it seemed that after two years, it was little more than an exaggerated slumber. She did always exaggerate and make everything dramatic. While the others were most likely bone, some strange fate decided that the Deinonychus deserved to live again. To grow.

The ground above her moved slightly as she woke in a panic, awaking to nothing but darkness and dirt in her mouth. Scrabbling for whichever way was up, she felt her claws break into cool air and she pushed her dinosaur snout upward, coughing viciously to get the dirt out of her lungs and throat. Broken wings broke through the surface, flailing around aimlessly, and her feet steadied themselves as she swayed. Forearms grasped at nothing, the right arm's bone being revealed with a wide gash, but she still didn't notice.

Her eyes glanced around, coming to her senses, and then they found the gravestones. Aurum, Siborno, Ana. Ares' throat closed with the oncoming sob and she just dropped to her knees, a soft, yet shrill cry leaving her torn jaws. Why couldn't she just stay dead? What cruel fate decided to let her keep living? It made no sense!
