The vast grey gave nothing to its hellish inhabitants. Full of death and yet, void of everything at once—a land so unforgiving. So cold as to deprive the afterlife reprieve, be its people kind enough to gain sentience to build something of worth. Destruction usually unfurled in the musty desaturation of its skies. Corpses laid buried in impure sands. There was nothing to marvel at here, but sometimes, the souls trekking the sands built an affinity to the ugly and lifeless. It was, in every which way, home. You could either perceive it as such or live tormented by the distance between what comes after and what came before.
Hueco Mundo was the place Grimmjow found warmth where there was none. He belonged here. He hungered for battle like his home yearned for the cessation of its people's vitals. The soles of his boots crunched against the ground below, etching his path. Marking a line ignorance should not cross, lest they wish to call upon death.
In the air clung something so small, so very insignificant. If you laid unfocused, it'd be easy to miss. The sweet pin drop of spiritual pressure, beckoning predators follow its evanescence. As a panther on the prowl, Grimmjow did what he knew best: prepare his claws for the hunt and sharpen his fangs for the kill. His intent was undeterred.
As he neared, the flicker of power behind his focus grew. Success was overcast. The blue in intense irises came alive, electrifying and full of color. There it is. My prey. He tried not to allow himself to become overzealous, not trying to pretend he knew his opponent before reaching his destination. That kind of mindset separated the dead warriors from those who still thrived in this dry, barren land.
His reiastu flicked and whirred with anticipation as stealth guided him up and over sandy hills. Just a little ways left to go. This alone was a victory he'd revel in.
Soon enough, his keen eyes caught the first signs of life ahead. It was she who piqued his interest, and she who had been enough to get him this far. His presence loomed over her, her walls closing in. He had lunged into the space overhead, catching full view of her back, and it was then, in her very presence—his reiastu heightened. It's power roared. It clawed the air, doing away with the very last threads of peace for the unknown woman.
Satisfaction spread across his lips. "I'm lookin' for a fight," he proclaimed, unable to conceal bloodthirst behind husky—almost sultry words.
Grimjow was not one to strike so impromptu. He wasn't like his comrades that way. Not until she stepped onto his level, he wouldn't dare attack. Yet her inability to move had him feeding his curiosity by conjuring up conclusions that she just might be a stealthy striker or worse—too afraid to act. Either which way, he kept his senses attuned to her, even if his jostled him into considering the possibility that there may not be a fight on the horizon for the starved jaguar.
