He wasn't healed, but he hurt no longer. It was eerie, rex realized. He didn't feel anything at all. Compared to all of his dead family members and friends, he felt immortal. Immortal and broken. Yes, he was determined to make the best of his broken heart, sweep the shards into a pile and wash them away. But, he couldn't do that until he was completely detached from his tethering. It was his fate. Powerful but powerless. Perfect but flawed. Love had bound him, blinded him. Greed had too. He had been selfish, then selfless. No matter what he did, something went wrong. He had gone from an innocent young kit, shaped wrong by circumstance, to a heartbroken and heartless monster. He'd lost everything that mattered. Tridentrome had sacrificed so much. And for what? He never got anything back. His eyes could cry no more, his skin could bleed no longer. He was meant for more, but was trapped, stuck in an inescapable situation. Well, inescapable for now. He'd find a way out. He always did. At least he'd told Wren. Now his conscience was clear, vision set. He no longer would worry about others, except to get what he needed. He had a place of power, rome only needed a way to utilize it. Maybe it wasn't fate. He still had a chance to change his destiny. Closing his eyes, he felt buried memories resurface. Eyes widening, he gasped for air. He was drowning in emotions. Not his own, though, which was interesting. Scrambling back away from the water, he puffed out his fur and snarled at a passing crab. His teeth felt different, and when he looked at his reflection, he was met with larger incisors than previous. Despite the oddity of this, he didn't quite care enough to question it. Closing his mouth, he noticed something else different in his reflection. Over the spot where his heart was, black fur had begun to spread out, in a webbed pattern. It wasn't hurting him, and never passed up toward his trident-like symbol on his shoulder. The trumpet creepers gently brushed over rome's new pelt marking, making it look natural, or like a fashion statement. Scoffing, he returned to camp, quiet and cold. He couldn't undo the past, but he still had a future to change. It just might not be the best for the weak ones.
here, a google-translation of the lyrics if you don't want to listen to Korean haha (even though they have English lyrics TT) __________________ juggernaut I ran because I wanted that power. Even though the sun blinds my eyes To reach the promised place To complete our future Above all, to protect you You believed in me, gave me strength The moment you bit me, you were inside me But as the seasons crumble the green Love became greed and erased itself Selfishness erases even you Trapped me in a ruin like the deep sea oblivion Where did that terrible curse come from? Who inflicted the cruel punishment? Now I realized The fate for which I sacrificed my life How could I have forgotten? The sign only responds to you and glows red. The one thing I asked you for Rises like a bright sun that clears the darkness Destiny is in my hands again I feel the power flowing like blood inside me Finally, I desperately call you Now I will never forget Everything was a power given to me by you. Grew up in an eternity that will soon return to you Love tied in blood Erased by arrogance, it’s over I lost everything I become a monster that can't die But now I know what I have to do, I know Follow the blood token (Fate, fate, fate) I don't hesitate (Fate, fate, fate) (Go like this) (Fate, fate, fate) It's my fate Follow this blood token to the end of the road To give myself to you (eh)
