Snippet #1615786

"Ishkur break is over." The words embedded themselves inside the Angel’s head and he groaned in response, bring a stray and blood covered hand to rest on his forehead. “Right, right…I’m coming,” Reluctantly the creature rose to his feet, frowning down at the blood soaked clothes he was forced to wear. I suppose it’s my own fault really. Ishkur shrugged off his complaints, making his way outside, making sure to close the door silently behind him. “I’d like to see Maci or Akane pull off something like what I did. I am perfect. They aren’t.” Ishkur span on his heels to face off in the direction of Lake Sinaoha. He dragged his weary body for a few steps until he came to the edge of town and a forest standing in front. Walking was no longer an option. “I wish that other human was here…Oh how I’d love to deal with him.” Stretching out his blood-dripping wings, Ishkur took to the skies, flying rather slowly over the forest top. His arms and legs dangled loosely, not having enough energy to even attempt to get to Elris quickly.

As Ishkur came close to Lake Sinoah, he was met with a fountain of water, quickly skidding to a halt in the air and staring forward into it, head tilted to the side in confusion about what could cause such a spray. As the water fell back into the lake he stared down to the ground, no one was there, not even Elris. Exhausted the creature plopped onto the ground with a slight thud. All of the grace he had held before, vanished and replaced with a wave of tiredness. He blinked through half closed eyes around at the clearing before slowly making his way over to the lake. He slightly bent over, eyes growing wider to stare into the depths of the lake. A rush of water was dying down and a figure was struggling to get to the surface. "What the-?" He lent in even more and reached out to touch the surface of the water. "Cold." Ishkur stated frowning and quickly yanking his hand away from it's surface. The person had ceased to struggle now, and Ishkur called out to them. "Hey!" Without any response the Angel sighed, shaking his head from side to side. It's just a human, why should I care? Once again his eyes were drawn to the figure in the water, slowly floating towards the surface. Ishkur let out a long and pained sigh, folding his wings behind him and without another thought; dove into the water.

The water washed away the blood from his hair and clothes, the weight of them and his wings dragging him down towards the bed of the lake. His eyes were shut tightly but he felt himself falling, surrounded by a cold sense of death, unable to breath and his lungs were slowly collapsing from the pressure. Darker and darker the world was becoming, the Angel fighting the urge to give up. Eyes quickly snapped open to stare forward in the murky depths of the lake. Ishkur kicked his legs hard, pushing more water behind him with his arms and making his way towards the figure. It seemed to be male with black hair wavering in the current of the water. However Ishkur's eyes were drawn to a particular place behind the male, a cave which was flooding quickly with water. Elris he's in there isn't it? Ishkur mentally sighed, clinging onto the figure and kicking his legs hard until he reached the surface. Bursting out of the water and spreading his wings carrying the male bridal-style. He stared down at his face for a few seconds, water dripping down from his hair and onto the other's face. I really hate water... Never again... After recovering, Ishkur flew over and landed gently on the ground, he continued to stare down at the male's face for a moment. Who the hell is he? Ishkur had to wonder to himself. And what was he doing in that lake?
