Thread Title: 「 Can’t Help Falling in Love 」

It’s a flawless path that you stumble upon, not a single flake of snow lies on the lush, emerald strands of grass. Even if someone had managed to plow the snow out of the way, it wouldn’t explain the freshly grown grass. Where exactly does this path lead?

tunnel of loooovveee

He could almost feel music in the air, a half remembered melody stuck in his head as he patrolled the spine, eyes scanning the horizon as he sniffed at the air...pausing for a moment, when the scent of fresh grass hit his nose. Looking down, he raised an eyebrow at the magical path before him before snorting out a laugh. What in the world... he was no stranger to strange magics, even if he doesn't remember all of them, so after another look about on the border he finally started following the path.

As he followed down the path, the trees he's grown to know turn darker, pinker, the smell of them in the air tugging at his heart and leaving him yearning for something. For what? A glimpse into a former life? Somewhere, deep down, the scent reminds him of someone long...long ago, and he hates that feeling. It bubbles in his gut as he walked, the trees growing closer together so that they blocked the outer world entirely.

There's a slight wind, leaving sprinkles of pink petals floating down slowly, following him towards the end of the tunnel leading outward.....

Into a place he doesn't know, with another entrance across from him just like his, with a strange man he's never met. Well, hello there handsome

Grass... Grass without snow... In... Winter...? Hmm... Peculiar....

Humming to himself the child placed a paw upon his chin and thought about this, this strange phenomena....

It lead him down a path he followed, a path into a tunnel made of cherry blossoms and suddenly he found himself beside a strange man. A creature smaller than himself and quite handsome...

Who was also addressing him as handsome...

Hmm...

Smiling with a quirked brow Cedar placed a paw upon his chin once more and hummed whilst looking over the man over a few times.

Why hello.... He drawled playfully, his fiery eyes dancing with a burning playfulness that tickled his insides and itched at his aching brain...

There was a tunnel before them that he turned to look at, one that smelled like roses and fresh cut grass...

Tilting his head to the left quickly he shrugged and turned back to the man and smiled his famous Cheshire smile...

Shall we...? The boy playfully asked, extending a paw outwards towards the mouth of the cave, wondering if this handsome stranger would come with him into this wonderfully smelling tunnel...

Oh, the joy of meeting a stranger in weird places, the tree tunnel leading into a cave of all things. Amon looked the bigger wolf up and down, as he motioned with his paw. Oh, what a gentleman he put his own paw to his chest, playfully taking the role of the lady on a first date, before brushing past the yearling.

Making sure to brush his tail up against the stranger's muzzle like a tease was he entered the cave

The real question, was what this boy that smelt like The Saints would do? Amon was always ready for a fight, even if he looked like his guard was down, the perks of growing up in Warcrest. This place look familiar to you Saint boy? he questioned, as they walked forward.

The other man placed a paw on his chest and said that the boy was a gentleman. Cedar let out a high pitched giggle and shook his head back and forth a couple times in response, Cedar was far from a gentleman and it brought amusement to the boys brain, tickled it in serious ways, and caused sounds to erupt from his lips.

As the man walked past him he dragged his tail across Cedars muzzle playfully and he had to resist the urge to bite it as it trailed past his lips. Continuing forward they were placed in "Ravens Grove" His home, the place he'd forgotten and left abandoned to the few wolves that now inhabited it.

This place look familiar to you Saint boy? The man questioned and Cedar let out a loud Aha! Before bounding forward and landing splayed legged and wild before the stranger. Waving his head wildly back and forth with his tongue flailing violently from his mouth. Home!!! He exclaimed loudly before turning to look wild eyed and crazy at the other man.

We are home... My home... The Flame Prince explained to the other, his maw split by a large grin that exposed every inch of his teeth, his optics burning with excitement as he waved his plume high and proud, excited and happy.

The boy's youth was clear to him now, as he bounded forward with excitement, childishly whipping his head around. Amon couldn't help but look on in fondness as the red one shouted about home with a wild look in his eyes. This was your home, huh? Amon sniffed at the air, to see if anything stood out to him, but all he could smell was the remnants of the flowers they had left behind.

It was odd, this wasn't a location....anywhere near the Spine. Neat?

Well, welcome home then Saint boy, you remember what this place is called? He questioned, moving off to explore, see if anything looks familiar to him. How long has it been since you were here?

Smiling the large boy walked over to the other, standing a few feet away with a large grin upon his muzzle, eyes alight with joy as he spoke with a lighthearted tone. Ravens grove... I was born here... I stayed here before I went looking for Calyx... Cedar mused, tipping his head slightly to the right as he thumped his bushy tail against the dirt behind him.

Have you never been here before...? The boy quizzically asked the stranger that had come with him into his birthplace, his brows furrowing a bit as he raised one of them in question. Mother never told me of others... He mentioned as his mind trailed off into thoughts of his family.

Raven's grove huh? the older boy repeated back. Naw, I was born... Where was he born? Somewhere unknown to him, unremembered, long forgotten to the sands of time and the magic that brought him and his kin to this place. Eh, who knows. Lived in the desert for a little while before Satan and Nyra dragged us all the way up north, as far as the damn landmass could go Kind of funny really, though the change had been hell on his fur.

So, what made...Calyx? Leave and send you off hunting for them Amon sniffed around, snooping for details and drama.

Cedar turned his body towards the other slowly, his smile distant and faded as he floated within memories of his past and times from his childhood...

Times poisoned and tainted...

The man explained that he had lived in a desert before he was dragged away by two unknown wolves that were mentioned. Cedar dipped his head in understanding to the mans words and then listened to the prying question he was asked.

The boy sneered at the man, his body rising in anger though not at the man himself. His tail came to whip around his body and the tip flicked a few times in annoyance, Calyx was stolen... The Flame Prince explained his tail lashing as he explained this, his eyebrows furrowed over narrowed eyes that burned like the flames in his chest. Those duel toned optics slitted and slowly blinking.

Now this was the prime time drama he was after alright, a crazed brother looking for his kidnapped sister..well sibling, but the shows almost always used sister. Stolen huh? You know by who? He questioned, unafraid of the other yearling in front of him as his mood swiftly changed.

Really, it was almost cat like the way he was swishing his tail around.

...he wonders if the magic of the cave would provide popcorn.
