  • bright like the stars in the midnight sky and warm like the sun itself, the ascension of one from angelic origins gracefully lands on the cool soil below, a fluffy mass of neat and pure white feathers latched onto the figure sculpted from ivory and gold marble that glowed with ethereal beauty. hardened look that of a seasoned warrior, old pale battle scars strewn haphazardly across sharp features, liquid gold optics scanned the dense trees of the shadow veil's territory, scarce beams of the dying light of the sun as it goes down for the night, not caring if they happened to be a beacon of light for the soon to be darkness. the scuttling of critters were blocked as senses stretch out, searching for something–someone–in particular, but it seems the individual isn't here. lips curl downwards in a slight frown, displeasure pouring off of the archangel whilst standing in silence before turning their head to look back, triangular ears swiveling in the same direction, seemingly listening to a voice off in the distance and eventually looking forward one again. shoulders rolled themselves and wings lift towards the sky, vanishing in a blink of an eye, the heat radiating off of the oriental shorthair disappearing with the feathery appendages, but the soft glow is still there.


    paws twitch and begin to move the body containing jeolmang, fluid with each step and never missing a beat, leaving a trail of vibrant pink orchids in their wake. a neutral–almost bored–expression held up whilst a fire burned inside. underlying fury at the words of how others hurt his children and the suffering of someone he once held dear– no still holds dear. but it's the way of life, is it not? at all shall suffer the hell of living until death comes to reap your soul, but death isn't permanent for all. no, the being of light knows all to well that the cycle of life and death is messed up to the point of some never truly dying. the curse of being brought back to life with vague or no memories of the past. an endless loop. one they happen to be caught in and it's no fun, except they remember it all. the deaths. the pain. the agony. terror and horror. now it's becoming old and tiresome. it chips away at jeolmang bit by bit, slowly starting to view all life as he once did before: pathetic and useless. these physical bodies are weak. no matter how much one trains and grows the only thing that will stay is the soul, and it didn't contain a physical form. these bodies are so... fragile. delicate. push too hard and bones break. pull too hard and flesh rips. though, they aren't here to say all life should be wiped out and all of the shit others like to pull for the 'greater good'. there is no greater good. move on and live or resist too much and perish. no pretty outcomes. not in the game of life.


    the quiet hum vibrates in the angelic being's chest, eyes hooded after arriving at the border, tail twitching behind them and lifts their muzzle up. no audible words are spoken, but boomed out through a telepathic message. greetings members of shadow veil. my name is jeolmang and i am here to stay for a bit. in the being's eyes there is no need to request to join. it's not like they'd hold loyalty to the clan itself. no. only those who earned shall receive. not to mention they have no desire to stay in a place for too long. perhaps if solsticeclan was still here then j would have made a permanent home there. unfortunately, it's been swept away in time with little others to remember the place.

    *:・゚✦ Jeol...mang? Odd name, but whatever. Soundcheck's name, arguably, was also weird. He padded up and nodded to the newcomer. "Welcome then, Jeolmang. I'm Soundcheck." the wolf barked, a small smile dancing on his maw.



    "Speech."


  • He didn't like it, that telepathic voice that shivered his mind and made him push back in a sudden heated need. He despised it and yet he became increasingly curious the more his molten hot pink eyes lingered in the direction that it came from. Who was this that was seeking to join his realm and for what purpose? The blight lifted up his muzzle then, umber lips peeling back to reveal sharp teeth that became parted as he took in a small breath to flex his chest before he exhaled and rose to his paws. Claws tapped against the ground but the creature of nothing merely began to make his own advance toward the border just as he picked up the sounds of someone who was already there and greeting the creature. He could say without a doubt that he was unsure o this new individual and the dark creature focused his heavy lidded stare up on the other's body as they both came into view. But he had no need to look at Soundcheck. No, he focused on this Jeolmang. Settling his body he stretched out his draconic wings a bit before he utter his first words just a small question. "What makes you want to live here, if I may ask."

  • perhaps it is odd to someone having english as their native and only known language, and can't blame the fellow. though, the meaning behind the isn't the happiest, nor did jeolmang want it to be. gold eyes focus on the form of the wolf, ears twisting forward and giving a polite dip of the head at the greeting followed by an introduction. "soundcheck, mm?" a test to see how the name rolls off the tongue and it's not too bad. a faint smile is returned to the canine, taking note how the small grin on the gray wolf's lips. "it's a pleasure." yet their attention on the canine ceases as the scent of someone new tickles nose hairs and pivots their head in the direction. one of darkness that shouldn't be released upon the world. a creature emerging from purgatory and the realm of pandora's box. an evil walking among them and it's obvious that most were clueless– except for them. to be old as time itself the archangel knows all too well to figure out beasts and creatures alike.


    eyes glisten with an unknown emotion whilst observing and analyzing the young kitsune. void like a black hole, vibrant purple markings decorating and swirling around this darkness. a contrast to their ivory and gold coloration. a stillness falls over the celestial, noticing the expansion of draconian wings, causing massive, feathered ones to fly out with a few feathers fluttering away. a smile. no happiness. a smile. void of any emotion. a smile. not revealing any emotion. just. a. smile. "would you prefer if i didn't?" at question battled with another.

  • What was this? He didn't understand and he didn't know if it was because of his own age or was it because of this creature before him. His ears slowly pulled back against his skull, not out of aggression but more so out of unease. There were strange emotions that weaved through his body and he took in a softer breath to contain what he knew was not something that needed to be let out. His gaze stayed trained on the other and he parted his jaws to lick his muzzle, dragging it against his umber lips before narrowing his gaze just a bit. It was strange but he could deal with the need, the strange pulling. He could and he could figure out what it was and why it was happening now. Shifting he tried to straighten himself a bit as he watched the feathers that shimmered down and he fixed his molten gaze back on the creature. Were they divine? "Depending on your reasonings. Rhaelarys." He introduced himself next to keep up the politeness he supposed.

  • "you worry for safety reasons, is that correct?" hushed words flow out in a deep, melodic voice. while jeolmang isn't one to care about singling others out, they can't quite place of rhaelarys is concerned about himself or shadow veil. maybe the assumption is wrong all together and the worry is something else entirely. whatever it is, the archangel is sure to find out. liquid gold eyes glitter and lock with molten hot pink ones. interesting. they didn't fit the overall color scheme for the kistune. feathery wings pull towards the porcelain being, vanishing once more, and drags their gaze away from the male. feet take light steps as jeolang picks up the runaway feathers, knowing well enough that if they don't collect them now then it'll drive them crazy later when looking over their wings. "you have nothing to worry about." reassurance and the trust. there's no ill-will towards the shadow veil. "i'm just living the nomadic lifestyle. my true home lost in time and no other will do. i won't be here long and shall leave to venture to another place. perhaps if i make good memories here then i'll return." golden pads brush the pale feathers, pleased they still keep a neat appearance and nudge them together in a small pile, before bending their head down to gently grasp them in their teeth. does that answer satisfy your inquiry?

  • "We can go with that." He spoke in a slow tone as he eyed the other still having that strange sense ebbing through him. His body tensed up a little bit and he glanced toward the feathers that were slowly being collected and compiled together. Still he listened to the words that seemed to tug at his body and he felt his smoldering gaze narrow slowly at first before he suddenly relaxed. The answer was partially vague but at the same time he accepted it for what it was because if he was nomadic he would leave on his own time. Coming back, however, but a strange mixture of emotions running through. A want and also rejection of the idea yet he gave a slow nod of his head, ears pulling forward as he turned to the side a bit, four tails resting still at the current moment. "Very well, and I'm assuming you'd like a look around the territory. Your answer is...accepted for now so please enjoy your stay."

    *:・゚✦ He nodded. His gaze flicked to Rhaelarys as he arrived on the scene and the wolf listened silently as the leader and Jeolmang conversed. Oh, so he wasn't staying long, hmm? That was a shame. Still, Soundcheck would make the most of being social with the newcomer while it lasted.
