Antious nodded and then looked toward the other two people who were there. "You two going to come follow us?" He asked them. "Or did you two prefer to stay here... As for me I believe I'm going to head back." The squirrel started toward the fort along with Raiden.

*Tasna accepted her water back and listened to Raiden speak. It was amazing. After all this time and his arm is still affecting him*
"You two going to come follow us? Or did you two prefer to stay here... As for me I believe I'm going to head back."
*Tasna nodded* I'm coming. I didn't have anything intentional to do today. *The otter started agter Antious and Raiden, still pondering why Antious was in such a bad condition and where he had been for so long*

Antious looked back at Tasna and noticed that she seemed to have something on her mind. "You look like you thinking of something over there Tasna, might I ask what it is?" The squirrel asked as he wandered through the forest. "Or would you prefer not too?" He slowed his pace down until Tasna was next to him then started to walk along side her.

*Tasna smiled when Antious slowed for her. No one had ever really waited for her in her village. Most people thought she was weird. Tasna shrugged at the squirrel's question* I was just wondering where you've been all this time. What were you doing? *She was thinking that Antious would not want to tell. The otter felt as if she was being nosey*

That's something I'd like to know myself... I keep my past to myself only because of an ironic twist of fate that befalls those who know the full tale, but still, will you tell us Antious?
**Raiden had stopped for a few moments while he waited for the other two to catch up.**

Antious grinned and looked at the otter. "Well I have been on a long journey that I guess you could say has given me a turn for the better." The squirrel looked up to the sky then brought his gaze back down to her. "You see, I originally set off determend and angry with my past. I wanted nothing more than revenge against those who had wronged me, but along that journey I learned some very important things." He gave her a smile. "Like that I shouldn't use my abilitys for my own vengance but I should use them to protect other innocent beasts and keep it from happining to them."

The past is something to let go of. I was told that alot... But I cannot, no... Will not let go of my past. I am the only one from my bloodline to survie so far... The past is all I have...
**Raiden sighed as his thoughts turned to the dark memories he had been repressing.**
Dark things haunt my mind... Things I did, and cannot un do...

*Tasna grinned* Sounds like a lesson on a journey. And I always thought that they were just in books. Cursed villagers. Sending me down the wrong path of knowledge and wisdom. Why didn't I leave sooner? It's like they didn't want me to learn. *The ottermaid clenched her teeth as she thought of her past. Although Tasna had thought about it sometimes, she could never take vengence on them*

**raiden had seen a similar expression on Tasna's face before.**
You can't change the past Tasna, and vengence won't solve whatever problem caused you to leave. I should know when I tried to resolve my past. I lost my world back then... I argued with my little brother and sister, as any family would... but they ment the world to me, and when I lost them, that world shattered.

*Nadia, who had been following the group and taking in their conversation, was amazed at all the stories that these creatures had and all the troulble in their pasts. Of course, she had problems, but they were nothing compared to the others.*
Hmm, I've got things that I regret too, but fortunately they're not as big as yours. I guess I just haven't lived long enough yet. *she smiled* although, I have taken actions I regretted. I always hope that I won't have to make any decision again that I feel goes against my principles.

I'm only twenty-two, and already I've seen and done more than warriors twice my age... I will not say more about my past, as it is fraut with grim talk, the like that would shock and stun many.
**Raiden fell silent as he had subliminly said he would, insted focusing on the path ahead.**

Antious shook his head at the state that Raiden was acting, he knew that if the warrior mouse would continue down this path it would definently lead to his death. But he probably knew that as well. "Raiden I know your troubles were bad, but wouldn't it be better for your well being if you were to let go?" The squirrel shrugged and looked forward on the path in front of him.

I don't fear death Antious, I long for it. It will be the final peace from the things that haunt my mind... I am under oath to seek my death, wherever it might lie... For as long as there is battles to be fought, I will be there to fight them, and hopefully die. For five years I've sought death, and it has eluded me. THAT is why I can never let go of my past. I am bound and shackled by the traditions of my clan to follow the path of the warrior. I am bound by an enescapable prophercy that is older than my armour. Until the Dies Irae comes, I will fight and maybe even lose my life.
**The look Raiden shot Antious would've frozen a sun's heart. It was as if the mouse thought his compainion had offended the mouse's beliefs; something that Raiden wouldn't take lightly, as out of his entire family, he had always been the one who would have to stick to his clans past and the rituals involved with that past.**

Well I'm only seventeen. *Tasna sighed sadly.* Seventeen seasons in a lonely world and you see a lot. But all the wrong sights, not the sights you want to see. *The otter stared hard at Raiden.* Many people hope for death, but when it comes, they wish that they could've gotten more out of life....go places, do certain things that they wanted. But they where held down by the people they trusted. They didn't try to lead their own life. Those are the people who die unsatisfied with life.
*Tasna walked ahead and stopped in front of Raiden.* At this rate, that is going to be the way you'll die Rai. You shouldn't hope for death. It's not a good feeling. And the last thing you will want to do is die just to think that it will release you from a prophecy. It won't go away. it'll follow you everywhere. *Tasna's eyes started to water.* I don't want to see you die in battle Rai! It's just not right!
*The ottermaid stopped and relaxed as tears started streaming down her cheeks. She started at Raiden sadly.* I'm sorry Rai. I shouldn't be questioning you or your past. *Tasna stared coldly beyond the warrior mouse, not bearing to make eye contact with anyone. She turned slowly and started walking ahead of the rest, muttering.* It's Raiden's choice. I just can't bear to see him wish for death.

My choice to die, not to end my part in the prophercy, but because that is how the prophercy says I will go. I will fall, but only defending what I call my true home. See or do more? I've done too much for me to bare. I've seen more of the world than I ever wanted to. I wanted a life of peace, and of music... But instead... Instead I was forced on this path... My destiny is smeared with blood. Just watch! I'm going to live right ot the bitter end! I'll live the hard life of a warrior! My demons will haunt me until I die, and I welcome the challenge, and the end... By the pantheron of the great ones, and the souls of every Raiden before me I won't meekly to my fate.
**Raiden kept his paw on the hilt of his newly re-forged blade, what was once the proud claymore Heaven's Judgement, the smiter of the foes, blade of of every Raiden Silversword, I to VI, and now Raiden VII. It wasn't as solem as a blood-vow... That was the most barbaric vow a clan warrior could ever make.**
How the mighty have fallen... I was once a prince of my clan, but now... I'm nothing like I once was... I have nothing I could've had... All I can do is bring the Dies Irae upon my foes, and await one who can bring the same Day Of Wrath to me...
OOC: No offence mended to anyone, Raiden's just being his evil/dark self in his mood... It's the time to hope he stays good though...
