With an ire of sulfuric wake, the beast trampled forth.
Chrysaliswing pushed past the verdancy that seemed to stand too steadfast in his way, emotions molten and choleric within him, like bile burning through a paper throat. Crackles of twigs and twine sounded just beneath him, though there was little consideration of stealth tonight. A storm hardly made its destruction woven in quietude, and a wildfire hardly blazed so that the woodland could not hear its sputters. His feet had been quick to escape the judgmental words of his sibling, as though there were coals provoking his every footfall, blistering through his pawpads. He didn't know where he wanted to go, especially at this hour. Glancing back, the tomcat half-expected glowering stare of amber to match his own vitriol, though cast in much softer and gentler lights. Termitehum did not follow, and he thanked Starclan for it in brief respite. You think I'm anything like my dad? You think I'm a monster? I'll show you what a real monster is. Right now, the chimaera just wanted to get away from the clustering and crowing voices of those he dared call his kin, like flames roaring at the sides of fragile ear drums. And so, he ran. He had always been quite good at running, when he could fight no longer. This was an opponent bearing no pelt to raze through, no skin to pierce into. He could not fight this one, he knew - but he could fight what had been real all along, what bore sweet-red sanguine and peach-fuzz flesh.
He hadn't even noticed that he crossed past the border of Thunderclan, how the scents of familiarity had been overtaken by that of oak sap and summer's petrichor, though it at least appaeraed to bridle a great temper. He stopped in his tracks, huffing quite loudly for those who dared to listen in. Feathery tail lashing behind him, he stopped just to take a heave of a breath, as his fury had gnashed away any goodness that had fluttered in his breath. It had simmered down, at least, and settled into restless limbs and bird-bone. Still, he needed a release from it all, not for it to reclaim another home within the holes of his heart. "Damn it!" Chrysaliswing shouted to no cat in particular, as though even the shadows of nighttime scowled at him, with blunt edge and swimming gaze of the deep. Silverpelt did not come for him now, though he lamented what he was, as if prayer could not unveil what had been hidden underneath all along. He was convinced that there was no such thing as a 'deep-down,' that all he was was what he was in the moment.
