[pretend picture is here] [hr] Athos was covered in soot and dirt his hair everywhere and his eyes had a raw expression about them. He had been stopped from searching the mines more then he already had and it was clear by not only how he looked, but by the trembling that he was not handling it well. Felix was missing. Athos moved through the house without so much as a word to the others his crows flying after him. The only sound was the slam of a door before a frusterated yell escaped him. The wail of a broken heart that was clear throughtout before silence once again enveloped the home. Athos leaped into his chest before emerging moments later. He held the creature close with his back against the side of his bed. Away from the door away from everyone he clutched a large white ball of fur. The creatures several pink eyes seemed locked on its saviour. [b]Im sure he will return Athos.[/b] tears escaped his eyes and he shook his head. [color=gold]"They wouldn't let me keep searching what if.....what if he needed help...."[/color] the long legs unfurled from the ball showing what exactly the creature was. [b]he has the venom and the silk...he's a healer if anyone is to survive it would be him[/b] the soft spoken words from the mouth of the still young albino spider. Athos nodded before hugging the spider once more. [color=gold]"You're right eclipse. For one still young you are wise."[/color] [b]I had a good teacher.[/b] Athos managed a small smile before inhaling needing quiet for a moment while surrounded by those he had left. The two ever present crows perched at the top of his bed and let out soft comforting crows as he remained curled with the spider.
