Cyrus Marshall ~ The City Barracks ~
After a night awash with dreams full of familiar faces - both present-day and ghosts of his past, today seemed like a good day to actually dedicate some time towards remembering it all...and then perhaps letting it go? It had felt like ages since he'd left his hometown...since he'd lost his soul-mate and been forced to travel far, far away in search of new territory and for all that time, Cyrus had spent so very little of it actually working things over in his mind...
Hoping he wouldn't be missed on the rota, the Tiger rose early that morning, feeling it was best to perhaps distance himself from his new life and instead spend a moment in some small dedication to everything that had passed so that he was free of anything that held him back...and more importantly, ready to continue on with nothing slowing him down.
Careful not to disturb anyone, the Tiger would gather up several things in a bag, slinging it onto his shoulder and then setting out just before daybreak. It was a day in which he planned to challenge himself, striking out somewhere he'd yet to tread - whilst also pushing himself to his limits, but with those intentions in mind, he also knew it was necessary to at least inform someone as to where he was going and so he would write two notes - one of which he intended to slip beneath the door of his Captain's Quarters, the other, he would leave for his roommate to find. He knew that if he was to speak to them about it, there was a risk he'd be denied or have to bring someone along - not that Captain Reynard was a guy to whirl around and say "No" and who was to say Aldaine would be at all interested? But it was a chance he didn't want to take...
Once he'd deposited the notes, Cyrus would set off for the Serene Tops. It was a location that felt far enough away from his usual stomping grounds that he could be tested both mentally and physically, whilst maintaining a somewhat isolated feature that he might just be able to create a shrine to which he might make a pilgrimage once every so often... It was a silly thing, having already made peace with Felicia's spirit thanks to the boy who could speak with the dead, but somewhere in the back of his mind, he wanted this, he needed somewhere to go, to share a few words and a few memories before returning to the Barracks to continue on...

Aldaine DeβFraye
Aldaine awoke surprisingly and exceptionally early that morning, if his watch was anything to go by. The jaguar shifter stretched his tired limbs, letting out a quite yawn, so as not to disturb his roommate. Thatβs when it hit him, he didnβt hear Cyrus in the bunk above him. Usually, Aldaine could either make out the Tigerβs quite breathing or his intrusive snoring. Regardless, he heard neither. Getting up out of bed, he poked his head over the edge of the top bunk to see it empty. This was odd, since he arrived at the barracks, Aldaine had often been the one to be the early bird, but it seems as though the tables had flipped for today. Thatβs when the shifter noticed the small note left on his bedside desk. Opening it up to read its contents whatever questions flew around the Jaguarβs mind was answered. βSerene Tops, huh?β Setting the note down, the Jaguar shrugged it off and lay back down.
Aldaine spent the next 5 β 10 minutes laying there, thinking. Serene Tops, it was quite a distance from the main city. If Cyrus had gone there, chances were, heβd be cutting it fine when he gets back. Aldaine didnβt care how good anyone was at running, Serene Tops was at the other side of the island. From what Aldaine heard, it was a sparsely populated mountain range, said to have lovely scenery. In truth, Aldaine had felt like paying the location a visit out of curiosity, but just didnβt seem to find the time. However, as he thought, he began to wonder, why would Cyrus have gone there? And at such an early hour of the morning too? Much like Aldaineβs mind always did, it analysed and over-thought, and after a few minutes, he began to wonder whether or not he should follow the Tiger shifter. Ordinarily Aldaine would have just shrugged it off and got on with his day, but, something felt different when it came to Cyrus. The two had spent a good while getting to know each other, and during that time, Aldaine always seemed to notice aβ¦sadness or morbid reflection in Cyrusβ eyes from time to time, as if there were some choking memory haunting him in the back of his mind. Aldaine knew such a feeling all too well, and for some reason, this motivated the Jaguar to keep at eye on the tiger. Aldaine didnβt think of Cyrus as one to give into depression and commitβ¦thatβ¦ he seemed too strong-willed, too motivated in life. At the same time though, Aldaine had been wrong about such assumptions before, there were plenty of times during his years in the military where he saw the strongest and most willing of soldiers give into taking their own lives. In knowing this, Aldaineβs thoughts on following the Tiger didnβt seem to be so unreasonable, and after all, they were colleagues and it wouldnβt do for Aldaine to just let one of his own just wonder aimlessly. Even if depression was not the motivator, accidents can happen when you least expect it, so what would happen if Cyrus were to have an accident and no one around to help him? Serene Tops was said to be practically barren, so anyone who suffers an incident of any kind out there was alone.
After all this, his mind was made up. Jumping out of bed and dawning his uniform, and set out to leave the barracks, making sure to move as silently as a mouse.
Once he had made his way outside the barracks and to the city gates, he shifted into his Jaguar form and advanced. It didnβt take him long to pick up Cyrusβ scent and soon the Jaguar was off to Serene Tops.
As the Jaguar made his way out of the city, and into an open space that he knew absolutely nothing about, he continued hide his contempt and bitterness as he thought βWhy do I talk myself into these thingsβ¦

Cyrus Marshall ~ Serene Tops ~
Having taken the journey in his Tiger Form, Cyrus hadn't had much opportunity to stop and truly enjoy the scenery and his surroundings, but as soon as he reached the crest of the first hill leading into the Serene Tops, the Shifter would pause, closing his eyes as the brusque wind brushed its wispy fingers through his fur before casting his gaze about the location and drawing deep a breath of the surrounding air...
He had to admit, the chill in the air left a tingle in his nose, but as the Tiger made his way down the hill, he felt a sort of freedom. Sure, this place wasn't exactly the most hospitable of locations and there was the danger of predators lurking, but with his strength and of course his Shifter Form, Cyrus felt this was one of those places where he could actually just sit and reflect for a while in the comfort of knowing he would meet very few, if any others who might distract him from his reflections.
By now, the sun had begun gradually climbing above the horizon and Cyrus was almost certain that the majority of guards in the Barracks would have started to rise - his roommate being one of those who would naturally be up at the crack of dawn anyway... The Tiger would walk until the gradients started to slope upwards, then, retaking his human form he would begin to gather small pieces of materials and rocks which he planned to place atop one of the taller hills - Where better to sit and enjoy the view with those passed than at the pinnacle?
Setting down the materials as he reached the peck of his chosen top - one that was flat, yet visible on most sides - with a beautiful view all of its own, he would once again draw a deep breath exhaling slowly with his hands on his hips as he ensured the location was the best spot before crouching down and getting to work.
With more than enough stones nearby and a few things he'd packed with him before setting off, Cyrus carefully piled together a mixture of large and small rocks and wood before kneeling down on the ground infront of the 'monument' and taking out a carving knife. Having already taken the opportunity to carve a few models out of wood whilst on down time at the barracks, he placed these around the model before bowing his head as though in prayer - silently thanking the spirits of loved ones and those in the great beyond before setting himself down and turning his attention to a new carving.
He of course wasn't without his senses - the Tiger knew better than to allow himself to be fully distracted - especially in a location such as this, but it was time enough to enjoy the calm that the Serene Tops had to offer him before knowing his inevitably had to head back to the hustle and bustle of his new life.

Aldaine DeβFraye
Aldaine could officially say, he was beat. Never, in all his life, had he run as further and farther than what he had done today. Given his concern for his colleagueβs well-being, Aldaine naturally burst into a frenzy of sprinting, which he could now say, he sorely regretted, especially on account of his left foreleg. Shifting back into his human form, he stood up straight and caught his breath. He had made it atop one of the smaller hills at Serene Tops, and he couldnβt help but take in the magnificent view as he took a few calming breaths. After a few seconds, he shook himself of his trance, reminding himself why he came here in the first place. βNowβ¦where is he?β Aldaine pondered as he began to climb the myriad of mossy, rocky slopes.
The Jaguar spent a good 30 minutes looking for his fellow feline, tracking his scent. Soon, he came to a tall hill, with a flat top that easily overlooked the valley surrounding Aldaine, and at the top sat Cyrus at what appeared to be, some sort of small structure. What was it? A shrine perhaps? This seemed a bit out of character in Aldaineβs eyes, Cyrus didnβt strike Aldaine as the religious type. The Jaguar advanced slowly, and when he was about 10 feet or so away from Cyrus he stopped. He had no doubt that Cyrus would pick up his scent at this distance, but at the same time thought, the Tiger shifter didnβt seem to notice. If anything, it looked like Cyrus was in his own world, lost in his thoughts. Aldaine decided to keep his position and wait until he was sure he didnβt disturb the Tigerβs state of prayer. While Aldaine himself wasnβt exactly one for faith or religion, he did get the general gist of why people put their faith in some higher power.
After a few minutes of waiting, Aldaine advanced further approaching Cyrus. βYou know, if you wanted to pray, you could have just visited a church. Then again, I can see why youβd prefer this place, much more spacious and has less peopleβ¦β Aldaine spoke, addressing Cyrus. The comment was made in good will, though Aldaine had a sneaking suspicion Cyrus wouldnβt appreciate his presenceβ¦

Cyrus Marshall ~ Serene Tops ~
With very little, if anything to distract him from his carvings, Cyrus might very well have been lost in the moment and somewhat oblivious to his surroundings, with his legs crossed and his head slightly dipped in focus upon the little wooden object in his hands, he was still listening to the world as it passed him by - the warmth of the rising sun, a bird of prey wheeling in the early-morning skies above... It had felt like an age since he'd done anything like this and if he was honest, it was a welcome escape.
The breeze seemed to betray the Jaguar long before he'd reached the crest, whipping past the Tiger and off the top of the hill before dissipating somewhere below... As the man's scent crossed that of Cyrus's senses, the Shifter would lift his head by just a fraction - although not enough to fully acknowledge his comrade's presence before he truly within range... Aldaine's voice would be the final implication to the curious scent and it was as he advanced that the Tiger would finally allow his concentration to break.
"It's more reflection than prayer," he would mumble in reply, clearing his throat before finally lifting his gaze, keeping his eyes on the view as Aldaine came to a stop just behind, "Never really been the religious type..."
He had to admit, he was a little surprised that the Jaguar had located him, but at the same time, it was to have been expected, the man's senses were fractionally better than that of the Tiger's and with his scent still fresh and untainted by bad weather and crossed trails, he'd done it in good time. "You just gonna stand there?" the Tiger wasn't mad at the fact he'd been followed - upon reflection, he guessed he'd been a little foolish setting out on his own - what with students still disappearing, but at the same time, would he had even cared about that a few years ago?
Shifting over slightly - not that he really needed to - Cyrus would slide his hand into a pouch on his belt, drawing out another penknife before reaching over to a small pile of wood which he had gathered purely for carving purposes. Without a word, he would set these down on the ground where he presumed the Jaguar would sit before returning his attention to the object he'd been carving.

Aldaine DeβFraye
Aldaine raised an eyebrow at the Tigerβs statements. They were short and sweet, though that was to be expected. While the Tiger himself didnβt portray irritation, Aldaine knew that he had obviously intruded on something personal to the Tiger shifter. Aldaine noticed that Cyrus was carving little pieces of wood and using them to construct a make shift shrine of some sort. As Cyrus seemed to clear a space for him, Aldaine took the initiative and took a seat beside his Colleague. After a few seconds he responded βSame here, never been one for faith or Gods eitherβ¦β he stated before explaining his reason for being here "I don't mean to intrude, but I thought it wouldn't do to let a Colleague wander into a mountain range alone with little opportunity for help should a tragedy occur..." It seemed to be the more the two spoke, the more similarities they shared. Both withdrew themselves from people and much like Aldaine, Cyrus too seemed to hide things, keep thoughts and emotions bottled up, striking out to sort them out on his own. Aldaine could tell, heβd done it his entire life. However, he didnβt really understand why he was thinking like this, it wasnβt as if the Tiger was just going to open up if he askedβ¦or would he? His train of thought lead him to recall the day heβd visited Diane. Amidst their conversations, they spoke about how some people tended to shy away and hide emotions from others, and how eventually those emotions would build, make that person break. Aldaine always thought it foolish to convince people to be open, but Diane always seemed to encourage it, to be honest and sincere. The Jaguar felt that the Wolf shifter had a very simplistic view on things, but the more he spoke with her, the more he couldnβt stop contemplating on her words and her points of view.
Aldaine snapped out of his thoughts as a cool wind passed the two felines by. It caused him to look out over the horizon to see the rising sun shine of the vast valley of mountains, littered with bright green grass, moss and flowers. The clouds had almost completely dissipated, allowing he to view the various colours, as the morning sky faded from an orangey-red into light, then dark blue as his gaze travelled upwards. The Jaguar couldnβt help but inhale the fresh morning air as he gazed over the beautiful view. βItβs beautiful out hereβ¦β he spoke quietly, as he turned his gaze to Cyrus, he continued βIβm sure whomever youβre remembering will be glad you chose this spotβ¦β
The Jaguar felt himself cringe at his out comment. Uuugh he wasnβt good at all this emotional stuff, he didnβt know how Diane could stand it. He wasnβt sure what sparked this, dare he say it, care he had formed for those in the barracks, but for some reason he didnβt mind it either. Besides, he supposed it couldnβt hurt taking Dianeβs advice, could it? βDo you want to talk about it?β he asked bluntly. It was worth a shot at least, maybe he could find out why Diane find the concept of being open is so appealing. Regardless, he awaited Cyrusβ answerβ¦

Cyrus Marshall ~ Serene Tops ~
Cyrus wouldn't lift his gaze as he heard Aldaine sit down beside him, his eyes however would shift momentarily to glance at the block of wood and the carving knife which he'd set down within range of the man, wondering quietly to himself if he was going to take it up and try something, or perhaps just sit and enjoy the pleasant surroundings.
It was nice to think that Aldaine was concerned for him, as pondered before, it had been somewhat foolish to strike out alone, especially into the wilderness where communication was limited to a shout - if that was heard at all in the first place... He would finally turn his head to face the man when he noted how beautiful the location was and that whomever he was remembering would appreciate his choice, "I hope so," he would drop his gaze a fraction as he remembered Felicia and how they had started to plan their future, traversing the lands for a few summers before maybe settling down together somewhere with a wondrous view they could wake up to each morning...
"Not much to talk about," he would grumble in reply as the Jaguar questioned if he wished to talk about it, returning his gaze to the little carving that was starting to take shape now, he would continue picking out the details of the four-legged creature with the tip of his knife. In the back of his mind, the light bark of the wood resembled the white coat of Felicia's fur when she transformed, the darker wooden carving already in its place would resemble his own black fur... it probably wouldn't mean much to anyone that came across it, but it all made sense to Cyrus at least...which was all that mattered...

Aldaine DeβFraye
Aldaine had expected such a blunt answer from the tiger. Of course, Aldaine knew he was lying and that there was much more to the story, otherwise Cyrus wouldnβt have travelled the length of the damn island just for some privacy and what is more, to build a shrine in memory of the person he for whom he was grieving.
As Aldaine returned his gaze to the view ahead of them, he began to feel strange. Serene Tops reminded him of the mountain ranges back in Trendel, where heβd spend so much time withβ¦herβ¦ Suddenly, Aldaine felt all the pleasant, happy memories re-emerge, all the times heβd spent with the one who was no longer with him. He took himself a little by surprise as he began talking, as if on instinct, like his body was acting on its own, separated from his mind. His voice, while low, took on a slightly different tone, one of reminisce and, perhaps, just a hint of sorrowβ¦ βYou know, this mountain range reminds me a lot of someone I used to knowβ¦β the Jaguar began, continuing to gaze out into the horizon, βBack in Trendel, sheβd always drag me to beaches, mountain ranges, meadows. When Iβd refuse, sheβd always tell me βCome on Al, itβll be good for you and wipe that brooding frown off your faceββ¦β the jaguar shifter chuckled as he mimicked a high-pitch voice, in memory of the one he was addressing. However, as soon as he felt the surge of happiness and inner-peace, it had dissipated and soon heβd reverted back to his quiet self, as if he had never changed. Aldaine took a glance at Cyrus. It seemed there was a part of Aldaine that still didnβt like being open, and mores to the point, why did he feel the sudden need to spill his guts like that? To someone heβd only known for 2 months? It didnβt matter, he needed to end the subject heβd inadvertently started here and now. Aldaine then spoke, his voice having lost all emotion and reverted back to its typical stoic state. βMy apologiesβ¦that was a bit of a loaded statementβ¦I supposeβ¦places like this make me a tad sentimentalβ¦β
Aldaine remained silent for a bit as he returned his gaze to the view, trying to distract himself from his little slip-upβ¦

Cyrus Marshall ~ Serene Tops ~
Although not in his Tiger Form, Cyrus's ears would twitch in reaction to the new tone in Aldaine's voice - the man wasn't usually one to reminisce as far as he could tell and the Jaguar had certainly not spoken like that in the Shifter's presence before, but it was as he started to relay his memories of being back in Trendel - where a close companion had convinced him to go practically anywhere with her... The Tiger would pause in his carving as he listened to the tale before lifting his gaze, a smile tweaking at the edge of his lips as Aldaine attempted to mimic the feminine voice - no doubt of the female in mind... His smile receded as the Jaguar seemed to revert to his natural tone, but it was a glimpse of something perhaps long stashed away that reminded Cyrus a little of himself...
"Don't be ashamed, you and I aren't that all that dissimilar..." he would muse quietly, his own mind drifting back to times when Felicia had drawn him away from petty squabbles with the other males, or tempted him out when things were looking bleak... "The weather didn't matter," he scraped the excess wood from a little groove in the carving with his thumb nail before picking at the edges with the knife again, "Come Rain or shine, there was always something to do..." he could only begin to remember the little adventures they went on when Felicia was bored... Then when the day came to an end, they'd find somewhere high up to watch the stars...
The calm of their surroundings was more than relaxing, but the silence between them now started to feel a little odd...as though they should be saying something else...? The Tiger would give it a moment longer, returning his attention to the carving in his hands before allowing a question to slip from his lips to break the silence...
"So...was she a Shifter, like you?" It had been a stroke of luck that Cyrus had grown up in a village of Feline Shifters - Tigers moreso... Felicia had been quite the lucky catch if he thought about it, it was just a shame she was taken from him all too soon...

Aldaine DeβFraye
Aldaineβs ears perked up as Cyrus spoke. He hadnβt expected Cyrus to take an interest in the story, which left him a little off guard. When Cyrus asked as to whether or not the female he referred too earlier was a shifter. Aldaine was hesitant. Mentally, he was kicking himself for allowing emotion to get the better of him again. However, for some reason, while he found the notion of opening up uncomfortable, there was something else that encouraged him, as if there were a little voice in his mind telling him to go through with it. While keeping his gaze on the mountains and sky ahead, he replied quietly to the tigerβs questionβ¦ βYesβ¦she was an artic fox shifterβ¦her name was Jennaβ¦Jenna Dennivaleβ¦β he began, now remembering the appearance of his departed lover, βShe had eyes red as garnetsβ¦and hair as white as snowβ¦she was beautiful... Weβd have come here this summer on a vacationβ¦ but that was until the war took her from meβ¦β the jaguar finished, his voice noticeably going bitter as he mentioned the war.
Now looking at Cyrus, he spoke once again referencing Cyrus' earlier statement βFrom the sounds of itβ¦it seems they would have gotten alongβ¦ he stated, trying to improve the mood a little. Aldaine glanced at his watch and decided theyβd need to head back soon. Getting up from where he was sitting, he moved over to Cyrus saying βWeβll have to head back soon, unless you really want Reynard to have our hides, andβ¦β Aldaine was hesitant about his next statement, but he chose to let his antisocial nature go to hell this one time and be honest ββ¦I won't force you to talk about the person you are remembering, but I will say this...I always used to feel alone, it situations like youβre going through right nowβ¦butβ¦it was only after coming here to Eoana that I stopped being so naΓ―ve and realisedβ¦weβre never truly alone, there are people everywhere going through loss, pain and sorrowβ¦and like Jenna always used to preach at meβ¦sometimes all it takes is one act of random kindness to helpβ¦even if it is only small and momentaryβ¦β Aldaine almost felt the urge to shed tears at reciting Jennaβs words, but, he managed to fight it back. Standing up straight and clearing his throat he spoke βTake your timeβ¦Iβll wait for you at the foot of the hillβ¦" From there, Aldaine did as he promised and waited at hillβs base for the Tiger to make his peaceβ¦

Cyrus Marshall ~ Serene Tops ~
Another creature of white fur... Felicia's eyes had been equally as alluring, but hearing that both their partners shared a similarity in fur colour was something else that intrigued the Tiger... Although he had expected the man to perhaps have taken another Jaguar as his partner - albeit as fleeting a love as the fates had allowed them - he would remember his own lover's words in that it didn't matter what you were as long as you loved another truly...
Once again it had been a form of battle that had snatched any hopes of happiness away... For Cyrus, it was the change of leader, forcing others to bend at the knee, or suffer his wrath and suffer he certainly had...but for Aldaine... "I don't think you'd be wrong there, they'd have made quite the pair" both females would most likely have gotten on like a house on fire, dragging both men out on their copious adventures together... Sensing the bitterness in the Jaguar's voice, Cyrus hoped drawing his mind back to the possibility might have lightened his mind a little...
Now if only duty hadn't reared its ugly head to spoil the moment...
He could easily have said that he'd left the man a note, but as Aldaine mentioned that Captain Reynard would have their hides, the Tiger couldn't help but think he'd been a little selfish heading out alone when there was a city that needed protecting... Sure, there were other guards and even though the moment had been an enlightening one, Cyrus knew it would have to come to an inevitable end...albeit a lot sooner than he'd expected...
He would listen to Aldaine's words, nodding quietly as they made sense, yet remaining seated until the man had taken his leave... Only once the Shifter's scent had faded with his descent down the hill, would Cyrus gather up the spare penknife - the one which he'd subtly offered to the Jaguar in an attempt to distract him enough to allow the time to pass a little more slowly - and replace it inside the pouch on his belt. That action done and his main penknife sheathed, the Tiger would then heave a sigh and lean forward, gently setting the second carved figure beside the first and then bowing his head quietly in respect before pushing himself to his feet and dusting off his pants...
He would stand there a moment longer, the brusque breeze drawing his hair out to the side as he looked down at the little shrine before he would turn. It was only a little thing, but he hoped it would remain in as near as damnit good condition for the next chance he had to come and pay his respects...
With another sigh and a deep intake of breath, Cyrus would make his way down the hill to where Aldaine now waited. It was tempting to say something, but the words wouldn't come and so the Shifter would take on his Tiger form instead, glancing back at his comrade to see if he was going to do the same before setting the pace back towards the Barracks.
