Description

Featuring Khonsu:

Early Spring, Year 1981 of the New Generation
The Saraph Sand Dunes, Saraph Territory


He was worthless, his Father often enough reminded him of his… defectiveness. Did that necessarily warrant being passed over for his younger half-brother to be his successor? Luckily he hadn’t chosen the slave borne - Khonsu mentally sneered - albeit the thought was petty and fleeting, Alarogen didn’t deserve his misplaced ire. No - it was their Father’s fault for abandoning him, giving him the barest minimal attention and left the young tiercel yearning for more, for giving his slave half brother and his worthless dam his hard won attention so liberally and unconditionally, and for passing even that beloved dark son for their shining golden younger half-brother - barely even fledged - and planned to give him everything.

Why wasn’t he enough?
No - he knew why. He was as white as the dusting of winter snow and eyes the colour of blood that he noticed in fleeting moments unnerved his own father.
At least his Sire had enough honour as to not question his Dam’s own fidelity when he flaunted his - quite literally - kept woman. How could his Mother stand it? To see the tiercel she loved (he assumed that she loved him, although she never confessed to the contrary), bed down in another hen’s nest outside of the obligations of breeding season - and why would he choose to breed with a slave?
He swore to Roth that he would never be pinned down by a hen and something so flawed as Love.

He let the high winds buffet him as he stretched out his wings and glided along the updraft radiating from the sand dunes below him and turned towards the setting sun. The sky awash with purples, reds and burnt oranges. He had fled to the skies - his refuge from the constant rejection from his Father - and he felt peacefully alone compared to the solitude he felt whilst being surrounded by his extended family and servants back at his Father’s nest. He danced along with the currents, his wings beating and twisting as he banked, climbed and repeated it all over again until his wings began to burn at the strain.

He took a cautionary glance at the setting sun, careful to gaze indirectly at its brilliance.
As Roth as his witness - he will give his Sire no other choice except acknowledge him.

With that silent vow he banked hard and flew back the way he once came, the chill in the air racing him back to his roost.
