There comes a time when one can't stand the company of their own family so much that they just have to leave. No word, no note, no nothing. Aeizith silently had made up his mind that enough was enough, plain and simple. Almost dying was certainly enough to do it, but there was also the fact that his siblings were tearing each other apart for reasons the little lonely dragon couldn't begin to understand. He wanted so badly to sympathize with Emilia, to understand why she was the way she was and back her decisions as a loyal member of the family but that previous display was just it. Game. Over. And so he left one day without an intention of returning for several days. He wasn't angry or anything. He didn't hate her... Aeizith could never hate her, but he just needed some time to think, time to cry and time to just be himself where that wouldn't get him killed.
Aeizith wandered through the forest, his blue eyes seeming to glow like searchlights in the blackness of night. He wiped a few tears from his eyes with a gloved hand, the droplets freezing on contact and shattering when they hit the ground, turning into tiny pockets of snow. The gentle dragon bit his lower-lip as he tried to find his way without taking to the skies, feeling more and more scornful towards that other form. He hated taking his dragon form now... It reminded him of Emilia... No... that wasn't right. That wasn't why he hated his form but whenever he tried to justify it, her cold, angled face kept popping up in his mind. Another tear fell from his eyes, freezing and shattering upon the ground.
The little dragon eventually, and unfortunately, stumbled across something so unexpected, it caused him to leap back and yelp in surprise. Wrapped around a tree, sleeping, was a MASSIVE black fox, its sharp teeth and claws were all the dragon could stare at. Aeizith quickly clasped his hands over his mouth as if to catch his yelp, about half-a-second too late. The noise escaped his lips and he could only hope that the large, intimidating beast would not awaken.
