YADIGAR
there’s a hole in my chest but it’s mine, baby, it’s all i got.
The two turn their heads to study the outline of his warmth when he lands before them. There is a dull clack as Sepulcher snaps his teeth together at the scent of feathers, but he remains obediently beside his brother. Their blind gazes see nothing of his jewel-encrusted skin or the shimmer of his hooves as he draws closer. They see only antlers and wings, coupled with the usual temperature of their kind.
Yadigar steps forward and his talons scrape the hardened lava flows. Fortunately, he does not realize Warden’s gaze is drawn to the lethal shape of his tail. “I am Yadigar, of the eastern region. This is my brother, Sepulcher,” he explains with a polite nod of his head before gesturing to the kindred monster beside him. The younger beast does his best to smile in a way that does not split the five portions of his face open.
“In the past, Pangea and its territories maintained an alliance with Tephra. This is why your region alone was spared in our conquests,” he explains, trying his best to force some semblance of warmth into his voice. “My father named Breach queen in Hyaline prior to his demise, but we would like to continue our allegiance to the west regardless of your succession or hers.”
He pauses, then, and examines Warden’s face for any change of expression.
“We could, perhaps, extend this promise of protection to your territories, if you think them worthy,” he says with a tilt of his head. Yadigar had never considered laying waste to Ischia or Islandres, but he had also never felt inclined to worry for their safety as he did for Tephra. It would make sense, however, for the whole of their respective regions to be included.
