A home once was

Talon and Xavier were on a journey to their old home, a ruin of a village long since destroyed by the dark entity that cursed them... They had travelled far, and were close to their goal...

<span style='color:red'>What the hell is that?</span> Xavier asked, motioning to the still form of Hakuen. Talon stared at it for a moment, before shrugging. Xavier raised his rifle and fired a shot into the sands near it, attempting to see if it was still alive...

 

Talon froze, recgonizing her from before. He clubbed his brother with the butt of his partisan. <span style='color:orange'>Errr, sorry bout that, my brother's a bit stupid you know...</span> Xavier glared at him, but said nothing. <span style='color:red'>Hey lady, why are you lying in the middle of the desert?</span> He asked with a blank look on his face, as if she might be stupid or something...

Don't be a wimp! You're a guy, for goodness sake!

A black and grey colored pendragon said to one particular wincing blue pendragon. Kien was showing Juem, her new found friend (and irritating too), how to travel. And she was finding it difficult.

<span style='color:steelblue'>But the ground is hot! Why do you have to bring me to this place? Can't we go to Vivulli or something?</span> Juem replied, spreading his wings to fly any second.

You said you wanted to- Not seeing where she was going, she bumped into Xavier. The rebound took her several steps back. Oh er... sorry bout that.. I didn't know there was someone there.

Juem was containing his laugh at Kien's dazed expression. It was quite rare to see Kien looking lost.

 

Everything happened so suddenly neither of the twins knew what to make of it. Xavier was the first to speak, but it was far from something nice. <span style='color:red'>Damn! Watch where you're going! People lying around in the sand, people walking randomly around, you'd think a friggin desert would be more empty than this!</span> He growled at Kien and sat down in the sand, muttering. Talon smacked his brother over the head with his partisan butt, and then turned to try and face all three of them at once, which turned out to be kind of unsuccessful. <span style='color:orange'>Errr, Yea, thats me, Talon, you're... Hakuen? Right? I havent seen you in ages!</span> The he turned to the others. <span style='color:orange'>And what would you two be doing wandering aimlessly in the middle of nowhere? All thats left around here are the ruins of several vullages that couldn't take it...</span>

 

Kien frowned at Xavier's rude outburst. Afterall, she did apologized. When he growled, she growled back at him. Her paw was itching to just slash his grumpy face. But she took two deep breaths and calmed herself. Is he always this rude? she asked Talon while looking at Xavier.

<span style='color:steelblue'>We were just exploring. And I think Miss Travel Freak here, got us lost</span> Juem replied Talon, jumping up and down while the scorching heat and the ground burnt his paw pads.

We're not lost! she told him. Juem didn't reply and that was the time when she realised that someone else was talking. She looked down at the ground, where the source of sound was coming from, and noticed that an anubi was talking. The language wasn't ramathian so she guessed it must be the anubi language.

 

Talon turned to Kien first. With a smile and a slight nudge to Xavier with his foot. <span style='color:orange'>Always.</span> He prodded Xavier with the butt of his partisan again provoking another growl from the grumbling anubi. He then turned to Hakuen. <span style='color:orange'>Ha Ha, Being banished means being banished you know, it also means we could never return. The elders considered us and our spirit parasites as threats, that couldn't be contained, so they sent us from the village... Our new home... I apologise...</span> He looked down, and wondered how the village fared after he left. Obviously not very well since the rest of the small towns he had seen were only ruins being slowly overtaken by the desert...

 

Juem was finding it difficult to tear his eyes away from Hauken. Female Anubi pendragons make his head turn. Probably because of their femenine appearance. <span style='color:steelblue'>What did she say?</span> he asked Kien. You think I know? came the reply.

Both of them listened to the strange language. Kien was the first to turn to the opposite direction, ready to continue on her travel. But Juem placed a big paw on Kien's arm, stopping her from doing so. He wasn't going to leave. Not now. Not when a beautiful femme is here.

Talon nodded gravely. Before shoving his partisan into the sand so he could lean on it. <span style='color:orange'>Maybe, but Xavier and I unfortunately are pure bloods. The only reason those dammed elders pushed us away was because of our spirits! We could and still can keep them in check!</span> He muttered something under his breath about traditions, until his spirit spoke up. <span style='color:purple'>You know, it's not the elder's fault. Because you could NEVER control me. I'm amazed you somehow can now. Both me and The Beast posed too much of a threat to your petty little tribes existance and so they cast you out. Think about it, wouldn't you love getting revenge on this girl, most likely related to the elders! I was there! </span> Talon forced him down, and stared at Hakuen with mournful eyes. <span style='color:red'>Damn "pure blood" traditions. They never helped me when someone was trying to hack me to pieces or put a bullet in my head, so why should I bother with them! And why the hell are there so many damn travellers around here these days! It's a friggin desert!</span> Xavier got up, and began walking through the desert again, leaving Talon to look at Hakuen sadly...

 

It took a while but finally Kien realized that the anubi femme was talking in Ramathian. She wasn't good in that language but she managed to catch a few sentences. Something about the elders and a tribe. That got her attention. She listened for a few moments more before Xavier complained about travellers in a desert. Kien followed Xavier, got ahead of him, and blocked his path with her arms acrossed. And why do you have trouble with travellers? she asked, staring straight at him.

Hauken had raised her brow at him and then talked to Talon again. Juem frowned, trying to figure out if she was talking about him, or continuing the conversation. <span style='color:steelblue'>I'm sure you know this language, Kien. What did she say?</span> Juem asked without looking back. <span style='color:steelblue'>Kien? Kien?</span> Hearing no answer, Juem turned and found that Kien was further away. The sun was beating down it's hottest temperature for today and Juem's foot was getting barbequed. <span style='color:steelblue'>Hey you're not gonna leave me here, are you?</span> He shouted to her.
But Kien was too busy fuming to notice Juem's shout.

 

Xavier snarled, and with a quick movement, his sniper rifle was drawn and pointing into her face. <span style='color:red'>Because they do extremely stupid things like try to stand in my way when I don't want to stay and talk about the glory days!</span> He nudged her in the nose with the barrel of the rifle, then holstered it and started walking away again. <span style='color:red'>Now shut up, and leave me alone, or you WILL end up on my "to kill" list! Damn Travellers... Walking on Anubi land...</span>

Talon sighed and grinned. <span style='color:orange'>Iat... Ump iyomd lybat huba lymd temka peap yos... Ros E'n dlup sy taa iyo uduem. Ev iyo'ja haupemd sy sha ylp belluda py iyo nemp ev E ump ni rjyshaj...</span> He suddenly jerked up as he heard Xavier's angry shout however, and with a quick flip of his partisan, Xavier was encased in a block of ice several inches thick. The ice was already starting to melt under the hot desert sun however, and Xavier's eyes inside the ice block were flailing around wildly in anger and irritation. Talon was soon striding towards him angrily, his partisan ready to hack his brother's arms off...
