Perhaps Forgotten
He knew he was gaining consciousness by the way he could hear the demon’s dark heart beating and the way the fel coursed through her veins. A pair of arms wrapped around him. Then another. He smiled as the shivarra traced her fangs along his arm. “I need to get going,” he whispered, knowing full well that she was going to start whining.
And whine the demon did. “Stay here with me. Let’s do each other hard, like we did last night. Come on. Show me your wings.”
He chuckled and sighed, “Azalia, I need to go. I have things to do. Besides, won’t you be beaten if you don’t show up for your line up?”
“Like I care.” She said, rolling her eyes. Daidh had been sleeping with her for the past few months and she was already being targeted by the commanders. Nonetheless, they didn’t care. Azalia was more invested in the relationship than he was and while she sought to know why, he never told her.
He never told her that he longed for the red haired woman he left behind in Silvemroon, or how he left her the apartment and his things. Neither did the demon care to hear about that.
The demonhunter slipped out of bed and walked away. Azalia would be there later. That he knew. He readied himself and prepared to go to the city that was once home. His welcome mat would be limited, so he had to work fast. He touched the leather mask over his eyes and sighed. She wasn’t going to recognize him. His eyes gone, tattoos on his body, fel energy pulsing stronger within him. Horns. Daidh sighed and he placed the sleeveless leather jacket on.
Sometime during the day, a dark rose was delivered to the Courier. From the shadows, Daidh watched closely, finally getting to see the woman who in his mind, urged him to keep going.
Truth be told, it was not often that the Scarlet Courier made her way to the rented flat that once belonged to Master Sadriaal. Business sourced in Dalaran these days and holding a coterie of assisting couriers, she sent others to keep up the apartment’s care. But the arrival of the dark rose lured her back to the city of the Children of the Blood, back to that lonely flat on her own. Curious, that the color of the rose matched her hair.
Safrona was the paragon of business, complete with tell tale red cloak, elegance tempered by her practicality of warded and reinforced silk, the gilded leather messenger bag hanging at her hip. On reaching the door, she half turned, eyeing the shadows behind her, rose twirled in hand. She could not see Daidh, but she could feel something familiar, watching, waiting. A tainted static in the air, an unnatural force that prickled her skin, like the pre-cursor to a summoning.
It felt too much like demon.
