The Phoenix Falls .
The waterfall glittered in the sunset light . Like fire danced over its surface, the soft crashing noise but the background now to the symphony of the forest . The woman who had collapsed at its edge hours before, still sat quietly staring into its depths . She was no longer crying, her eyes were simply quiet . The tear trails on her face now dry as she stared into the water .
A gentle hand came to rest on her shoulder . Delicate and dainty, Kyera sensed her presence . Daxin watches rather shocked to see her here . The woman who left so long ago made his blood boil .
Advertisement"Ky what is wrong, My Dear?" Akira asked and Kyera didn't move . She was still as a statue staring at the water . All she could think about was the life she had dreamed of going back to .
The little house filled with blood should have became a home again . They wanted to clean it up and raise their family there with the spirits of her brothers . At least four or five children, and dinner with their friends . Talis would have been invited over every night to play with the kids . Kyera couldn't believe how much that bloody net had taken . If he hadn't been alone…
"Akira!" growled Daxin as he approached her there . He was in human form and fire in his eyes . The shadows wrapped around him like a tunic in the clearing .
"Daxin . I wondered who had come and caused such a ruckus . " Akira replied a little surprised to see such anger in his expression .
"Do not Daxin me . You have no right to, woman . You certainly don't have a right to poke a grieving child . " Daxin continued stalking forward . His hair stood on end as he looked her over . His long grey main caught by the power swirling around him .
"I have to atone to her, not you Daxin . You have no right to lecture me about being a mother!" she growls back turning on him . He growled back claws extending as the pair circled one another .
"Oh yea? Then who does? I can only think of twice more that Kyera has been in this state . Both of them were YOUR fault woman . " he replied spitting the words at her . Akira's lip raised in disgust showing the off a row of pearly teeth . Her k9s standing out like fangs .
"What do you know! You dog, You don't know anything about me!" Akira roared back at him . She was met with a barking laugh .
"I knew all I needed to know when I held a 7 year old little girl and tried to tell her that you still loved her! That you didn't leave her by choice . " he snarled back . "look at you now . Beautiful as a queen, reeking of humans and soft in your old age!" he added . Fire fed his eyes turning those dark circles crimson . He wanted blood, but so did she .
She took the first swipe . Within seconds the pair had launched at one another like animals . Roaring, snarling and helping as they bit and clawed at one another .
"Enough . " her voice was too soft to hear . "ENOUGH" she finally roared at them both . She turned grabbing both by the hair and tossing them away before standing between them .
There was a ice in the air, freezing both rampant tempers . Daxin looked up at the little girl from where he had fell on his back . Kyera wiped the tears from her eyes again and looked between them both . The anger and and disappointment made both the old ones look away .
"Behaving like children . " she whispered before turning back to the water . Kyera put both arms above her head and dove into the water . She had no intention of arguing with either of them, nor did she want to bury them . One heart break was enough at a time .
Instead the younger woman, focused on cleaning her face . Rinsing the tears and dirt from her skin . The shadow cloth danced in the water, trying to lift her spirits . She tried to smile but it hurt . Actually, everything hurt . Crying could do that to you, she supposed .
