something something eight reminds me of a wolf that keeper tried so hard to convince everyone was a dog so they wouldn't put him down and for the most part, performed that role admirably. but he was too strong, too fast, and too fierce that in the end those fangs were too long to hide. keeper tries again and again to keep him by the fire and by his side where it's safe and warm, but can't change what he was from the start and has to let him go when it's apparent that not even a muzzle or a lifetime of domestication can hold him back. so he leads him out into the cold, says one last time that he wishes he were a dog, and lets go of the leash. he prays he won't be hurt. he prays he won't be killed for being what he is. yet he cannot keep him.

the wolf loves him in return; he will remember him for all his days. but he does not look back when he tears off into the woods.

#swtor #oc: orradiz #cipher eight au #it really does remind me of those stories where a wild animal is raised from birth to adulthood and they still can't deny who they are #and then one day they're gone from your world and you hope someday to catch a glimpse of them again.#how odd to be a parent that calls forever for your child to return home only to know they belong in a place you can neither reach #or protect them from #I think Keeper genuinely wanted to ask him to come with him in retirement #but it's too late for that now #and if he meets another Cipher in the eyes #will they see themselves in him or will he be so far removed they cannot recognize him either #admin is also crying bc i have to see TWO parental figs deal with his loss!! i am in chronic pain
