The sun fleed from the forest, hiding amongst the nimbostratus that paced through the sky on sapphire glass.

Anzel's mind fleed from her abode of body and wandered to the realm of dreams...

Or so she thought...

The flacker of wings beating against calm air interrupted the greetings.

Coal looked up towards the sky, curious as always. The alpha fae, cladden in golden fur, with a single burnt paw, stared to the sky. The bird, purer of white than the most innocent dove, circled like a hawk above them. In her prime, the alpha fae could distinguish the eye of the bird to be the color of blood. It was as though a demon had come, disguised in the form of a moon-white angel.

Coal growled, and the bird screeched, flying out of sight.

...

"So...have you come across my sister yet, Red Oval?..." her voice was as smooth as angel's breath, her eyes as sly as a cunning hare. Her fur, as dark as a heart glows at purest night.

"My lady, she is not alone, but yes, I found her." The bird settled itself upon a rock, preening at its feathers, twisted up by the wind.

Dark Angel grinned. She licked her maw, thinned her gaze. Stared into the woodland.

Not but she knew her intentions, her reasons for cruelty. She was not raised to have a soul so dead, so dark as she had come to attain...

With a huff, she settled her chin upon her paws, and stared into the forever of the woodland. She saw figures dance, dancing 'round. Red Oval heard a whimper, and looked to the fae of ebony. Nothing seemed to be out of order.

As dreams enveloped the querious fae, not a soul realized that a wolf, as blessed as they may be, may never shed a single, crystal tear...

((OOC: I know this chapter is short, but I'm feeling...kind-of 'out of it' right now. I'm not sure if I'm tired or sick, but I'm not feeling particularly well. If you want a summary of this chapter: Dark Angel's new ally, an albino eagle names Red Oval, who had taken to hiding due to his peculiar colors...went and found Golden Light, who has now been dubbed Golden Paw, due to her burnt paw. Golden Paw was the firstborn sister of Dark Angel, and she is now an alpha female of sorts. Coal is a black wolf who met up with Golden Paw, and loves nothing more than to dirty her claws in the soil by digging holes. Red Oval told Dark Angel that Golden Paw was around, and Dark Angel was contented. But as Dark Angel drifted to sleep, her subconscious wanted nothing more than to cry...and Dark Angel didn't have any clue she wanted this...))
