Deathbringer was searching the normal patrol route. Normally, he wouldn't be out here alone, but, Glory had duties she needed to do, so he volunteered. Well, more like Glory told him to. So now he was looking for the missing patrol. It had been comprised of a Rainwing and Nightwing.
When they were found they were sent to the Royal Pavilion to explain to Queen Glory why they were late. Deathbringer began heading back to the Pavilion but more slowly then the patrol. It had begun to lightly drizzle during the regular Suntime, and was now starting to pour rain down from above. Usually, the assassin was fine with the rain, but today it felt different.
Just as Deathbringer began to think about what was different a loud bang sounded.
Lightning flashed and the assassin jumped. His normal nerves of steel, were frayed. He remembered his last moments with his conscious mother. Instead of returning to the Royal Hut, where Glory would surely be, Deathbringer headed further into the forest. He found a secluded treetop that was far enough from the village that he couldn't hear the Rainwings, but still deep within the rainforest.
Just hearing the thunder was enough to give him chills. Every time he saw a flash of lightning he flinched. His snout was slightly wet with tears. The assassin kept thinking back to that day. The day his mother was taken from him.
When the storm finally stopped, it was already dawn. He had been out all night. Glory's probably wondering where I am by now. The patrol would've already explained why they were late and I would've been there soon after they arrived. Deathbringer quickly made his way back to the Rainwing village. He hoped that Glory hadn't noticed his absence. And that she didn't question it. Deathbringer was unsure if he could tell her what had happened and why he was afraid of lightning...
