The moon shined brightly tonight, and the cold breeze blew by the time and surrounded the lands with a quiet moment of solace. The nights would be as cold and calm, quiet but peaceful anyways, nights like these always calm down the people who had it rough throughout the day.

But tonight seems tense.

The fire cackled, and two boys sat near the flame to warm themselves. The prince and his friend, sat in silence, wounded. Everything that happened to them was falling apart, and running away from responsibilities led them to significant consequences.

Petro held his hands out near the fire, warming himself from the cold breeze of the night. Alux didn't, he watched as the fire cackled and small sparks flew into ashes and then to smoke. He gripped his dust-yet bloody green cloak he once have safely wrapped around his body to cover up, his now broken ring necklace tied on his hand.

Alux huddled himself as he brought hud knees up to his chest, a pair of his wings safely wrapped around his body like he was protecting himself, he winced in pain, but he cared less by now.

" You okay there Alux? "

The brunette looked up, seeing his friend's expression turn to worry. It hurts him, it hurts Alux so much that he brought Petro into this situation. They both cared for each other and would get worried if the other gets into some trouble, but Alux would feel bad knowing that he would always get himself into problems a lot and Petro had to walk in and defend him.

Now here they are, in the forest with a campfire, both wounded from escaping the People of the Dark and now they have found out that Alux was some sort of reincarnation or vessel of the Angel of Darkness.

Things can't get a lot more surprising and great at this moment.

Alux remained silent, slowly turning away and facing the dirt next to him. Petro didn't push the other to talk, he knows that tonight was a lot to take in, and knowing they just escaped their death it was not a good time to ask someone if they are alright. Petro already knew the answer after that.

The night went on peacefully, the sound of the crackling fire and the soft rustling of leaves disturbed the eerie quiet night. Both of the boys stayed quiet, Alux's mind seemed to drift somewhere in thought while staring at the fire and Petro, well he looking at his friend in worry.

Alux had been quiet for quite a while now, it was almost concerning to him. Seeing as one pair of wings was now wrapped around his being and the other was at rest, something was in the young one's mind. Alux ducked his head down on his knees, bringing himself into a lonely hug and his wings now fully covering him.

Petro sighed. " Alux, " He called out, seeing the wings soften, and went down a little in response. " Alux just- please look at me. " Petro said as he waited for the other to move, Alux was hesitant and only stayed still but his wings lowered down and rest. He kept ignoring the gaze of his friend staring at him, his hand gripped on the string of his necklace tightly. Petro didn't budge again and decided that he should stop talking for a moment to let Alux rest in silence.

Alux has a lot of thoughts going on in his head, the moment of processing, and the consequences that led him to be in this situation, it was all too much. Once was just a prince and was trapped within the castle walls by his father by successfully escaping to the village by night, and now he's an embodiment of the ancient Dark Angel. The thought that he brought himself to this situation was so negative, he made mistakes in his life before, and he's reckless like the impatient and misbehaved child his father sees him as.
