#thunderclasped

forest sighs as he sits outside, poking idly at the bao rapidly cooling on his plate. he'd felt pretty awful about everything, aleki placing blame on him for his shortcomings. he was right, forest had gotten distracted, allowed himself to be pulled away from the others. regardless of his intentions, his desire to help, he should've been there to help the others.

reid  knew  he  needed  to  practice  and  train.  he  had  been  connected  to  the  underworld  and  death  since  he  ascended  in  his  birth  right  at  eighteen  but  now  it  felt  even  more  prudent  to  conjure  these  powers  for  the  sake  of  the  ark.  it  was  an  incredibly  bright  morning,  reid  wincing  at  the  sun's  intense  rays  while  he  got  himself  comfortable.
