@[Warrick] Yes! When he comes back I'll make a post for him and Warrick
Diable Rouge
>But what do 'should-haves' do? You're stronger NOW; It doesn't matter what you were before, not anymore...
Those words cause Diable Rouge's heart to stop. He had lived an entire existence wondering what he could have done better, what he should have done. When his mother was murdered, he felt guilty because he could've been stronger for her. He could've fought harder for her. When Kaiode jumped to his untimely death, he wished he had watched him closer. After he left Tephra, he regretted not talking to Solace about what had happened that day.
The truth of the matter was, was that what happened in the past was just that: the past. Living a life of regret wasn't going to change what had happened to the ones he loved, and it wasn't going to change how his life was now. The only thing he could fix in his life was himself and his future. If he was ever going to live a life he was proud of, he would have to do something he had avoided for way too long now.
He had to find Solace.
As the morning sun's rays crest over the horizon, he looks to his companion. Warrick, someone he hardly knew, giving him such an enlightening revelation. Someone who had become a friend. He nods to him.
"When I find her, Warrick, I will let her know how you've missed her. I'll be back," He walks closer to the waters edge, and turns to look back at his winged friend. "Thank you, Warrick...for everything." And with that, he wades chest-deep into the water, away from Tephra, to find his long-lost light.

in the eye of a hurricane, there is quiet.
