Here’s the thread for our rp. I’ll go fetch Tearion real quick.

Here's my guy!

(I think the page is still on private)

(Ah! My happy little accident it's public now!)

(Lol! _{I have 72 docs on NB, most regarding Tearion lol…-}))

(Also, I keep forgetting to put this in his template, [slow skull control sucks. Ugh], when it comes to weapons/tools, the material they’re made of matters)

moonlit hours had fallen hours ago. However, it meant little to Tearion as he had not slept since the moonlit hours before. Too many memories, too little action. The trees around him were thinning, slowly giving way to grasslands, and not much moved except for government spy drones and some deer. None of it interested him.

With a quiet sigh, Tearion paused in his endless walking. A gentle breeze blew through the trees, softly rattling the branches. He took a deep breath, then looked around, eyeing his surroundings in the glorious moonlight. He listened closely to the wind and the land, curious if there was anything nearby of interesting.

Golem kicked a pebble along his path through the forest. Nothing much else to do after a day filled with many challenges and anything of that sort. Walking through the forest was calming to Golem. In truth, the man enjoyed this because who else would be out in the middle of the forest at moonlit hours? It was the spot to be if you wanted peace of mind.

The movement of the many animals in the forest was a noise that didn't come as a scare for Golem. He walked this path many times; he made it after all. Though no one seemed to use it which was a good thing. He didn't want it to become public more than it needed to be.

As Golem's groundhands were tiering from the constant kicking of the pebble, he decided to kick the pebble into the darkness and decided to take a small rest, sitting by a leafy tower.

Slow footsteps echoed in the wind. Tearion turned, curious, just as a pebble flew by his groundhands. On instinct, he shut his peepers, hiding their glow. Focusing his hearing beyond the wind, he heard a heartbeat nearby and the shifting of cloth and dirt as someone sat down.

The heart was human, the human syrup and the human’s scent both indicated a male. A young male, relaxed, resting. Not for long…

Without opening his peepers, Tearion soundlessly walked toward the leafy tower where the man sat. He soon stood on the opposite side of the leafy tower from where the human sat. The pumping of the man’s human syrup reminded him that he hadn’t eaten in days. It would be so easy to deathsnuggle this man and have his meal.

A small clicking chirp escaped him at that thought. How easy? Too easy? He wanted a challenge, something to earn. An easy meal wouldn’t, couldn’t, hold his interest. And, why should it? He had failed so much already…

Golem placed his left hand on one of the roots, pacing the race his fingers over the rough bark. It was good to be alive, especially today. It'd been a big day in his kingdom. Coronation of a new King and an old friend. It wasn't a surprise, no. Golem was happy his friend had made into such high royalty.

He froze when he heard the clicking chirp sound. It was faint. The thoughts in the mans head began to fade, forgetting about everything for a moment.

What was that? He thought. No, no. It must be an animal in the woods. It's fine. Golems thoughts did not match his actions. He slowly took a dagger out of his pocket with his left hand and then continued to lay his hand on the root, now starting to carve away at the root a little.

Tearion lost track of the human’s activities until he sensed the man tensing up. He immediately focused on the human again, hearing his tightening grip on the leafy tower root and something else. Was he pulling out a weapon? The noise was too slow and faint for him to accurately describe, but the possibility of a fight inspired his hunger.

His human hands morphed into a pair of large, insectile claws and his secondary grabby limbs emerged from his waist. He then crouched slightly, preparing to either lunge or jump, before chirping again. The sound was more calculated and defined than the first.
