<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">He couldn't expect everyone to know that at first glance but Daehyun was also a person driven by what his motivations were laid by. He had served as a soldier far longer than he's served as a person. Surprisingly, it fits the Niveis hence his bounty hunter occupation.

<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">He couldn't expect everyone to know that at first glance but Daehyun was also a person driven by what his motivations were laid by. He had served as a soldier far longer than he's served as a person. Surprisingly, it fits the Niveis hence his bounty hunter occupation. Even outside of the tribe, his means to find a way to survive in the world was by hunting people down; something he developed a knack for, due to his spying skills. He could seek anyone out given the proper information and materials. He tried to look offended that she called him thick headed but didn't know what to say because she wasn't wrong either, "I can't believe you mixed in a compliment and a harsh backhanded comment in one sentence when it comes to describing me, Nivi" he scoffed and shook his head, "That's talent right there." There was a small smile of triumph spread across his lips, he may not show it but the few people who knew Dae, also knew how he liked being appreciated, no matter how small it was. He wanted to be sure his work is beneficial. </span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">"Sorry I chased him away though… he wouldn't cut it down and it just annoys the hell out of me" he murmured a silent apology to his<a href="https://66.media.tumblr.com/fb555bd067c4a37a7f4c2263ed12361e/46b43178dfb9cb6a-0e/s400x600/059d7b3c6bb921561790ee6d9ffbebe5c1330c15.gifv" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img src="https://66.media.tumblr.com/fb555bd067c4a37a7f4c2263ed12361e/46b43178dfb9cb6a-0e/s400x600/059d7b3c6bb921561790ee6d9ffbebe5c1330c15.gifv?profile=RESIZE_710x" width="240" class="align-right"/></a> chief, he didn't like how things went but he was extremely rude and despite being considered emotionless most of the time, he didn't take in insults thrown at the people he cares for and that guy made the mistake of doing so. "He would've been fine if he didn't run his mouth though" Of course, he couldn't help himself from muttering. His temper was still there, as if waiting to be used at the right moment but Dae had maintained a certain level of self control to keep himself at bay so in a way, Anivia was right. His temper wasn't as bad as it had been. He wondered if it was because of the change he went through. "We can't always phrase everything, sometimes it gets indescribable so I get the feeling" he smiled sadly and nodded knowingly, "That's good to hear. I better be… God knows how many times I've saved your ass from making bad decisions" he teased playfully, he will definitely miss this. </span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">The bond he has with her is slightly different compared to the others. And for a good reason. "It is beautiful" he nodded in affirmation, he still thought the same even after becoming a Niveis. "Fire is our greatest weakness and to think it used to be our greatest advantage, once upon a time, it sounds like a bitter irony." He remembered how much he loved fire, one could basically label him a pyromaniac. "You know, surprisingly… despite resenting him badly because of what he did… I also understood a part of why he chose to do what he did. I hate that he robbed my choice away from me and proceeded on doing the same to others without offering them a chance to say no. But in a twisted sense, I think he was just trying to make sure we'll stay, initially. We were hunted down, chased out of our own home… to a place so cold our flames withered away. He must've been so desperate. He didn't want to be the only one of his kind and he sacrificed everything." It didn't change the fact that what he did was wrong, but Dae could see how that crazed idea seemed… viable, at that time. </span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">"I used to hate you when you were born, it was crazy of me to hate a newborn innocent baby who's done nothing to warrant my hatred. But look where I am now. Look what I did." If it wasn't in fear of his own health, he wouldn't even think of wanting to leave but alas, plans are plans. "You'll always have my support, even if I'm not so close anymore." When she told him to be spontaneous, Dae chuckled, "That's probably the last thing you should tell me to do, Nivi. You know the kind of spontaneous I can be" he winked, to each of their own. "I'll make sure to call when I can. Contrary to people's beliefs, I actually do use my phone a lot. Especially when you have games on them… it can be so addictive" he also texted Yeon and Jae often, there were times when he'd do FaceTime too. "I never pegged you for a grocery person though, what's all the shopping for? I think we still have supplies to last for another month." </span></p> Anivia just gave a soft chuck…tag:eternalcityrp.com,2020-03-20:6610746:Comment:4029202020-03-20T14:04:46.061Z✓ Anivia Frostbourne ~Admin~https://eternalcityrp.com/profile/IceQueen
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Anivia just gave a soft chuckle to Dae grumpy rantings, “They will, in time like everyone else get used to it and learn. I don’t have doubts about that.” She had faith in people always wanting to give them the benefit of the doubt. “We have come across many stubborn people. Hell half or tribe is filled with stubborn people.” She laughed for a moment and smirked lightly. “You are one of the strongest among the tribe Dae even if you are thick headedness goes…</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Anivia just gave a soft chuckle to Dae grumpy rantings, “They will, in time like everyone else get used to it and learn. I don’t have doubts about that.” She had faith in people always wanting to give them the benefit of the doubt. “We have come across many stubborn people. Hell half or tribe is filled with stubborn people.” She laughed for a moment and smirked lightly. “You are one of the strongest among the tribe Dae even if you are thick headedness goes hand in hand.” She gave him a teasing smile. “Yes I remember the guy in boston.” She shook her head for a moment. “Yet I don’t think anyone else could have handled the boston guy Dae.” Anivia had a lot of faith in him and if she hadn’t wanted to make others feel welcomed in the tribe he would have been her choice for second in command.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><a href="https://66.media.tumblr.com/86848349304fbf0634536a731341aa90/tumblr_inline_pkecc7xc7t1rifr4k_1280.gif" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img src="https://66.media.tumblr.com/86848349304fbf0634536a731341aa90/tumblr_inline_pkecc7xc7t1rifr4k_1280.gif?profile=RESIZE_710x" width="250" class="align-left"/></a>As he nudged her side playfully she looked to him for a moment and gave a soft smile, “I know you are not breakable but you know I have a soft spot for those I care for.” She nudged him back, “Your temper has come a long way though then when I was a child.” She pointed out that he was better then after losing his phoenix. As she thought about not having him around to challenge her daily it was slightly sad. It caused a soft sinking in her chest but she wanted nothing more for all her tribe to find happiness. She gave him a weak one as she nodded. “Bitter isn’t even the proper word it feels sometimes.” After Caspian she promised herself she would never let herself fall in love again. For the good of the tribe. She smiled stronger at his words and reached over taking his hand for a moment. “We are more than friends Dae, you are family.” She squeezed his hand.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">She covered her mouth after laughing out as she then nudged him again before moving through the isles of the store. “Forgive me, It just caught me off guard. I feel like fire draws many people in and it's dangerous and beautiful all in one.” She said softly as she looked to him trying to picture a young Dae playing with fire. Anivia looked to the food for a moment. “I hate that my father did that to the whole tribe because it was what he wanted causing many among the tribe to resent him and themselves. I feel the echoes of it to this day.” The ability to feel all the Niveis was a heavy burden to wear knowing that to become what they were was often through tragedy. She paused her movements, her hands tightening on the cart for a moment. “Many people trust weavers Dae. I do something that reminds them of my father like having a lover and they all question if I should be in power if I am going to go mad. I know they don’t mean it in the long run but that split second of doubt fills me when they have it.” She said softly and closed her eyes though feeling he was honest in his words. “I am going to miss having your support so close by.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“As long as you come back and see me every now and then. Don’t forget me completely.” She said softly as she turned back to him with a soft smile. “Spontaneous moments are what keeps the world moving. It's what led the tribe to trust me enough to move us off the isle. So be as spontaneous you can be.” As she chuckled softly at his words and nodded “Deal, keep your eyes and your opinions coming. I am sure I will miss the rants until you call me.” She laughed softly as she pushed the cart to the check out.</span></p> “Well, it should be something…tag:eternalcityrp.com,2020-01-10:6610746:Comment:3972662020-01-10T14:53:26.053Z✓ Daehyun Stormwindhttps://eternalcityrp.com/profile/Silver
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Well, it should be something they need to get used to once again then… people just have no idea when to stop when needed to” he grumbled grumpily, huffing to himself because it was clear that Dae wasn’t at all impressed some people couldn’t take a hint when to stop when enough is enough. But then again, he’s Daehyun Stormwind, he’s annoyed at most things. When she told him she sent him to those she knew he could handle with no…</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Well, it should be something they need to get used to once again then… people just have no idea when to stop when needed to” he grumbled grumpily, huffing to himself because it was clear that Dae wasn’t at all impressed some people couldn’t take a hint when to stop when enough is enough. But then again, he’s Daehyun Stormwind, he’s annoyed at most things. When she told him she sent him to those she knew he could handle with no problem, the pale-haired Niveis found himself pulling a face and scrunching his nose up, “So it was on purpose… god damn Nivi…You know there may be one day where I’ll freeze their asses off for real” That was when he pondered for a while, wondering if he’s ever done that, “Wait, I did that earlier this year...that Boston guy.” He sounded so unapologetic it was almost unreal had it not been to him being Daehyun.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;"><a href="https://i.pinimg.com/originals/39/48/33/394833f09f6f504112e682ee656af50b.gif" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img src="https://i.pinimg.com/originals/39/48/33/394833f09f6f504112e682ee656af50b.gif?profile=RESIZE_710x" width="240" class="align-left"/></a> “It’s not getting hurt that I’m worried about, I’m not that breakable, Nivi” he teased and nudged her side playfully, “I can take them. But I’m not sure if my temper can” But then again, he could be undeniably calm at times. Of course, Dae knew Anivia was far from being the person her father was and he was glad to see that in her, he’s been there, he’s seen how she grew up and whilst he may not be her biggest fan once upon a time ago, he’s loyal to her now for a good reason. And for the snowy-haired male, it will need a real reason to stick around in that line. He saw the way she seemed to be in deep thought when she stared at the can for a while longer which made him purse his lips lightly, “You’re right, nobody wants to be alone… it’s a bitter thing. But then again, are we really alone? We always seemed to have more things to come to, one day. You have your tribe, your friends… I’m your friend, Nivi.” Dae hoped she knew that much.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Following the laugh she let out however, that surprised</span> <b>him</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">, “Hey, that’s not funny” he pouted and crossed his arms, narrowing his dark hues at her, “I liked fire a lot back then, people thought it was almost unhealthy and thought I was at least going to be a Fire Initia” He also thought Fire was his affinity element then. “I didn’t hate what I’ve become, no. I resented it at first but not anymore, I guess” Honestly, Dae had no idea if he still does but he wasn’t as self-hated as he had been a while ago. “Nobody would lose their trust in you. Believe me, they won’t dare. I’m leaving but my loyalty is still with you” He wasn’t lying. </span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">“If I could still be loyal even when I’ll be taking my leave for a while, then they can too.” He had to admit, he didn’t think he’d be this sad about leaving, but he felt it. It was too close to his heart. “I don’t know yet… I haven’t planned anything officially but in a few more months, I’m not sure. I know I will go away a few times and I’ll return in between, you know me, Nivi, I’m as spontaneous as I can be when it doesn’t come to work.” But he did spare her a wry grin when she said nobody else would question her the way he did, “Oh don’t worry, I still have my eyes and ears everywhere so I’ll still give you a quick dial and rant about your choices.” </span></p> Anivia chuckled to his words.…tag:eternalcityrp.com,2020-01-04:6610746:Comment:3966582020-01-04T19:11:15.648Z✓ Anivia Frostbourne ~Admin~https://eternalcityrp.com/profile/IceQueen
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Anivia chuckled to his words. For some reason she never really felt they were harsh just more so stating a fact about how he felt. “I feel like in this day and age personal space isn’t a thing for most people. After all the vast majority of the population post everything online.” she said as she noticed often how more noses where in their phone then paying attention to the world around them. “Well maybe it's because I send you to the ones I feel won’t join…</span></p>

For some reason she never really felt they were harsh just more so stating a fact about how he felt. “I feel like in this day and age personal space isn’t a thing for most people. After all the vast majority of the population post everything online.” she said as she noticed often how more noses where in their phone then paying attention to the world around them. “Well maybe it's because I send you to the ones I feel won’t join easily because I know you can handle yourself better than some of the other scouts.” She thought back in her mind on the ones she had asked him to seek out. “Though I do wish you didn’t get hurt among those missions. Makes me want to take them all on my own.” She sighed as she ran her fingers along her jaw in thought.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">She smiled at him as she looked to him. He really was misunderstood or came off that way to a few people but she found she has always enjoyed him being apart of the tribe. “Well you know me, not one for many secrets myself.” It was true in an effort to not be like her father hse was an open book when it came to the tribe and the way she did things. She chuckled as she threw some more supplies into the cart. “Though I don’t think it's a secret most living beings like being around others more than they let on. No one really likes feeling alone.” She said as she stared at a can in her hand for a long moment, knowing she felt alone a lot after not accepting Caspian proposal for marriage for the tenth time now. She knew she was in the right but at the end of the day she needed him to go be happy on his own. They were vastly different. She sat the can in the cart.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Anivia couldn’t help the burst of laughed that came from her lips as he called himself a Pyromaniac. “I’m sorry that just caught me off guard.” She covered her mouth to calm the laughed that left her mouth for a moment. “Sometimes change comes at a cost of something but can you honestly say you hate who you have become?” She wondered aloud. Her gaze focused him and she smiled softly knowing he has said he could never doubt her. “I guess not but you know I worry that I will lose the trust of those I am to <a href="https://66.media.tumblr.com/15e3487eb4eee3dfa10583ed7bb5ef24/tumblr_inline_pkecvba4Qm1rifr4k_1280.gif" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img src="https://66.media.tumblr.com/15e3487eb4eee3dfa10583ed7bb5ef24/tumblr_inline_pkecvba4Qm1rifr4k_1280.gif?profile=RESIZE_710x" class="align-right"/></a>protect and keep safe. After all have introduced a lot of changes and moving of the tribe over the years. Though I honestly couldn’t picture returning to the island.” There was so much pain on the island for her to return.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">She smiled slowly to him as she watched a blush come to his cheeks softly. She felt herself wanting nothing but the best for the man in front of her. He deserved happiness. “Well a friendship that is deep can be more meaningful.” She said as she then looked to the shelves. “Oh nothing Dae.” She said as she knew that he would have to figure out what to do with his life without her butting in. “So when do you plan on leaving. Gonna have to find someone else to question my choices when you leave.” she chuckled to him.</span></p> Dae couldn't refrain himself…tag:eternalcityrp.com,2019-10-25:6610746:Comment:3903402019-10-25T18:48:48.954Z✓ Daehyun Stormwindhttps://eternalcityrp.com/profile/Silver

Privacy is a thing. And it's not that hard to respect one's own personal space." Was that harsh coming from him? Perhaps, but then again it is Daehyun. If there was anything people could connect the strings to him, it was that. He's not exactly a people person and everyone knows that. It was like there's a whole message written on his forehead whenever he goes out. He grinned in response to her compliment, "If only that actually helps when I'm meeting a new Niveis trying to scout and recruit them</span> <b>friendly</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">" he made a point to enunciate the word friendly simply because he experienced that before, he got suckerpunched by a newborn when he tried to help him, not exactly the best memory for him to remember by.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;"> He saw her picking up a scented candle and smiled instinctively, those always calms him down a lot, he lit them up every time he went to soak himself in a bath, "Thanks Nivi. That does make me feel better… ish. Coming from you, at least. It's not as if I could smile all day long for no reason at all." Which was quite ironic for the elder Stormwind, considering that he possessed gummy smile, contrasting his cold default look on any other day. The people who had ever witnessed him smiling genuinely would probably be able to attest to that. Perhaps, they weren't lying when they said the coldest looking people always had the sweetest looking smiles. "At this point you're just going to out my secrets to the world, Chief" he rolled his eyes playfully when Anivia said he likes people more than he lets on. Okay, maybe there was some truth to that. </span></p>

It wasn't exactly a secret if Dae was planning to tell her but the snowy-haired Niveis was trying to see if he could deliver it properly without any offense threaded in. "Yeah, Phoenix me was so much different than Niveis me. I still got the short circuit and reserved part but I wasn't… this cold." He was quiet and reserved, but he wasn't like this. He liked to learn, always running his curious eyes. "I was a freaking pyromaniac though." Maybe he never came to terms with his transition even now, he still resented it but it was a survival move so he had to accept it. "How can I ever doubt you, Nivi. You know I may argue with you sometimes but have I ever said I don't trust you?" Dae trusted her, it was the reason why he didn't leave the tribe when he could 40 years ago. </span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">"I won't go away for a long time. I guess I just needed a little time away from everything so I could evaluate my life better. To find out what I really want and start exploiting those. Like you said, everyone deserves to be happy." He didn't want to be alone. A blush crept up when she said he was smitten, prompting the Niveis to scoff, "Please, that's not it. I just… I've never felt this kind of friendship before and it means a lot to me." Yeon showed him so much potential the world holds and maybe, just maybe, he wanted to stick around to see if that's true.

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Anivia laughed at his statement of having resting bitch face after all, Nivi herself could have a cold face often. “Think that is very much in the Niveis thing, the resting bitch face. I have been asked many times when I am out in the city if I am okay or whats wrong, but <a href="https://66.media.tumblr.com/7fe11edb3c982e9091ab5482ef92aacc/tumblr_inline_pkecgaxZ661rifr4k_1280.gif" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img class="align-left" src="https://66.media.tumblr.com/7fe11edb3c982e9091ab5482ef92aacc/tumblr_inline_pkecgaxZ661rifr4k_1280.gif?profile=RESIZE_710x"></img></a> complete strangers.” she pointed…</span></p>

She reached out picking up a few things from the shelves and tossed them in the cart. She enjoyed the convenience of shops like this. Though when you come from a where they did little things were rather impressive. “Well to be fair, your job is to keep others safe so looking intimidating isn’t a bad thing.” she said as she picked up a candle taking a deep whiff. “But to me you don’t look like you are judging or going to rip anyone's head off if it makes you feel better.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Anivia flicked her gaze to him and back to the candle before setting it back on the shelf as she rolled her eyes. “I don’t believe that for a single moment.” She gave a soft shrug to the elder stormwind. “I think you like people more than you let on.” she smirked softly towards her then noticed how he became serious for a moment. She knew those moments better than many if she was being honest. “I know the feeling.” she said softly as she turned over another thing to read the back of it. “Sometimes keeping it in is worse then saying it though.” she looked to him from the side of her eyes.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I don’t remember to be honest. That was long before my birth I have only known the Niveis version of you.” She pointed out as she shrugged softly as she put a few more cans in the cart. “Part of me wish I did know the other side though. It would have been a whole side of you, part of you I didn’t get the pleasure of knowing. Maybe it was because she had grown up with the crazy father, or maybe it was purely because she was full of hope because that was all she really had. “They are in the city, and they are here under our species names. An eye needs to be kept on them. One way or another.” she gave a slight smirk towards him. “Sounds like you have little faith in me.” </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">She smiled towards him as she could feel his mood lift up from her telling him that she wanted him happy. “Well, we all have to learn from past lessons. I think our tribe life shows that perfectly.” She pointed out as she then took his hands in hers and squeezed them softly. “Never let anyone dull your shine Dae, you are worth more than you will ever know.” She said softly as she smiled. “My dear friend, I care for you and I always will, you will always have a home.” she smiled and then chuckled. “Oh dear sounds like you may be smitten.

She had reacted quite surprisingly seeing as he wasn't aware of how close they actually were, Dae knew people knew him in the tribe since the members literally know everyone there. But with Nivia, Dae held this profound respect for her and had always looked after her even when she was just a newborn baby, he would look at her with a blank stare that many mistook to be a look of resentment seeing as her father did condemn him to a life filled with regrets and anger after having his choices taken and his life robbed. But no, it was the look of wonder; at first wondering if this baby girl would turn out to be like her father and continue his ruthless regime, or the opposite. "Yeah well I do naturally have quite the resting bitch face as a default look. Even Mirae says I look like I am either judging your existence or is ready to rip your head off if you're wasting my time by not being interesting" he shrugged absentmindedly, he didn't take offense to it because mainly it wasn't a lie.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">"Not that I mind. It keeps people away from me and I'm totally fine with that." Most people knew him to dislike human interaction or any interaction at all. When she stated that he could always come talk to her, he pressed his lips into a thin fine line and sighed heavily, almost as if there was actually something that was bothering the elder Stormwind, "I know… but you know sometimes you just have this something you want to keep to yourself even though you really shouldn't. That's me right now." He was so conflicted with his own choices and thoughts right now. The talk about their scouting missions had him rubbing the back of his neck from the sore spot he had after fighting with the new Niveis, it was hard to control them when most are impulsive to their own nature and emotions alike. Though Daehyun does understand how they feel, he felt the same the first time he came back as Niveis and not a Phoenix no longer. </span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">"I do understand them, Nivi. I was once a Phoenix,<a href="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3589648745?profile=original" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img src="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3589648745?profile=RESIZE_710x" width="240" class="align-right"/></a> remember" the strain in his voice when he said that obviously stated that he still hasn't gotten over that part where he was condemned to this eternal life as the opposite of what he was supposed to be, old habits die hard anyway. He had been such a fire lover and the transition to this was still so overwhelming, he may have gotten control over it a century ago but it still doesn't change the fact that he still remembered that anger. "I want to leave them honestly, but I don't want them to cause trouble either. They're Phoenixes and no offense, but we- sorry,</span> <b>they</b> <span style="font-weight: 400;">are very impulsive in their nature. Their emotions run amok and well, it fuels their actions a lot. Discovering your fire is replaced with ice, yeah they'll go crazy for sure" he scoffed before shaking his head with a laugh when she suggested being a scout herself, "Please no. You would knock them on their ass so fast, let's be real." </span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">He felt touched when Anivia told him she wanted him to be happy too, more than anything else, he could feel his heart leaping in happiness for being cared this way, "You know… nobody's ever cared for me as much as I cared for them. For a while, it made it a very toxic relationship. Mirae told me people use me easily" he laughed, "It sounds pathetic but I really want to feel that care. Now I have… albeit briefly but it means everything to me." He had a smile on his face, one that tells how relieved he was.

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Anivia could tell that there was something clearly eating at him, well more then tell since her link to the others helped her understand faint waves of emotions. She also knew better than to go hard when asking him what was wrong with him.

She also knew better than to go hard when asking him what was wrong with him. Anivia gave a soft laugh as she raised a brow to him slightly. “I would hate to know what they call me if they are calling you grumpy cat.” She shook her head back and forth at the thought. Though he didn’t seem to overly mind the nickname from what she could feel from him. “You know you can talk to me right Daehyun?” she asked looking to him with worry in her eyes but as he clearly wanted to dismiss the subject she didn’t press him. She wanted him to open up when he was ready.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Anivia pressed her lips together in a tight line as Dae was expressing how things had been going. This was the biggest downside to Anivia scouts, she could be sending them right into danger. The Leader looked away from Dae for a moment as she thought, maybe it was best if Anivia herself started to go with the scouting parties at least she could sooth them somewhat. Though she was sure many would disagree with the idea. “They are scared more times than not.” She said gently as she let her gaze moved back to towards Dae. “The one thing they could count on their flames and rebirths are gone. They are scared and not sure what to do. They don’t want to be a Niveis because they think they are weaker. They don’t like the fire being replaced with ice, They want to be pissed because they think they have been a short end. That isn’t the case.” Anivia spoke passionately for a moment before pulling herself back in. “Not everyone will want to join or even come see the tribe, I guess we leave them to their own devices until they see the light or well…” Anivia sighed sadly. “There is no perfect answer. Unless I start being a scout.” she halved joked the idea. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As he continued his grumbling it only made Anivia smile because she knew that all of his rage wasn’t from the outsiders. There was <a href="https://66.media.tumblr.com/ad54fee03c7c117e841f76f0d600571a/tumblr_inline_pkecfu42CE1rifr4k_1280.gif" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img src="https://66.media.tumblr.com/ad54fee03c7c117e841f76f0d600571a/tumblr_inline_pkecfu42CE1rifr4k_1280.gif?profile=RESIZE_710x" class="align-right"/></a>something more going on and as it finally came out she just looked to him for a long moment. She didn’t say anything at first as she was trying to read his energy before she reached out taking the older Niveis hands in hers and gave them a soft squeeze. “You have served me and the leader before I well over the years Dae. You are who I would consider a good friend over the years. While I will be sad you leaving, I do not wish to be my father and demand you stay in the tribe at all cost. You deserve to figure out what you want to do with your life just as any other Niveis tribe or outsider deserves.” She gave him a gentle smile. “Please go and find yourself, but all I ask is that you never forget that you have a home to return to if you ever need anything.” it would be misleading if Anivia said she was overly happy about him leaving, but she was happy that he was finding his own path.</span></p> Throughout his entire time in…tag:eternalcityrp.com,2019-09-05:6610746:Comment:3848222019-09-05T17:19:47.446Z✓ Daehyun Stormwindhttps://eternalcityrp.com/profile/Silver

At first, he saw it as a nuisance but as time goes by, he realized that it rid him off any useless people in his life. And by useless, he meant people who would only use him for their own personal gain, in any way or form. Regardless of his cold exterior, Dae sees himself to be quite loyal to the tribe in a sense. When evaluating it that way, he would come crawling back to them when they needed him. He'll fly back in a jiff when they call him back. So, was he actually really abandoning them? He did, however, fear what Anivia would see this as, though. He may not say much but he does care what some people think, or rather, what</span> <b>she</b> <span style="font-weight: 400;">thinks. Contrary to other people's beliefs, Daehyun cherished what Anivia says albeit always arguing with her about some of her choices at times, he served as an older friend or sometimes, even a brother figure, to her. </span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">He saw her potentials, what she could bring to the tribe in the future and it only took him 40 years to see how far the woman had come from. He was proud but he also had an identity crisis going on in this part of his life. Unfortunately, this meant him leaving the tribe temporarily to find himself. When she pointed out that he looked extra lethargic, he sighed and shrugged, trying to rub that off, "I'm always lethargic and tired, Nivi... They don't call me grumpy cat for no reason" The nickname did grew on him, and he may not show it but perhaps the Niveis was slowly liking it, "Just a little something bothering my head is all… nothing too important and certainly nothing you should worry on" His attempts to dismiss the topic surely made it look extra suspicious seeing as Daehyun never does that. But how could he not? </span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;"><a href="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3532953201?profile=original" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img src="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3532953201?profile=RESIZE_710x" width="240" class="align-left"/></a>"I know that…" he murmured softly, of course he knew the current circumstances that run for those people the same way it ran for them close to two centuries ago, "I don't want to push them away either. It's our responsibility to help them find their way but sometimes, things don't always turn out for the best" He's come across cases like that. "The guy I tracked down in a bar here in Evermore from Boston… he didn't want to be a Niveis and I tried to convince him we could help for a whole month, you know what I got? Sucker punched. He even ruined the premise so I had to ruin the security cameras and shit. I did remember to wire the money anonymously though…" Something was clearly wrong, despite the many cases he's been through, Dae never complained before. "Some people just don't want to be… this. But I understand your sentiment…" Perhaps it was the fact that he was slowly letting his thoughts on leaving cloud his judgment or maybe it's just one of his stressful days. </span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">"Oh believe me, I was ready to give them a solid frostbite that will at least eat at them for two days" he grumbled but was eternally grateful when she said that, "But thanks, I really appreciate it." Did he wanna fight? "Maybe" his answer was almost nearly inaudible, surprisingly. If there was one thing their entire tribe missed, it was the fish alright. "But we love fish like hell" he groaned, "But anything will have to do for now" he remembered coming across some fish sold in markets but could easily identify the ones that weren't fresh.

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Anivia didn’t have many actual friends, being the daughter of the mad cheif made it hard on her.

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Anivia didn’t have many actual friends, being the daughter of the mad cheif made it hard on her. While many in the tribe agreed she was the next logical choice for leader they still had a fear she would end up like her father. Anivia spent everyday asking herself if her father would do something, and do the opposite thing. Daehyun had been one of the few that seem to see she was nothing like her father, she considered him a friend and respected his opinion on many things. It was why him questioning her didn’t affect her like it would with the elders of the tribe. “You look tired Dae.” she said softly taking in his face for a moment. “Is something wearing on you?” She honestly was concerned for the older Niveis, she knew she asked a lot from him.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Anivia gave a soft nod to his questioning about how the new Niveis that where coming to the tribe from Anivia sending scouts out more and more. “They are our people Dae. A lot of them are confused and scared when they turn, I feel every moment of that when they first turn and their link is the most intense. If you could feel the link like I could you would be able to see why I send out so many scouts to offer them hope. To let them know they are not alone. Yes they may not know our ways, but our ways haven’t been the most effective either Dae, for well over a hundred years Coldren kept us on that island scared of the outside world. I may not have all the answers when it comes to how the new Niveis react but I know we can’t just leave them out on their own. They could start an Ice age and that would be good for no one.” Anivia let her gaze rest heavily on Dae. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I will handle the brothers Dae, they just need someone who isn’t afraid to freeze them solid till they cool off.” She chuckled, it wouldn’t be the first time she had frozen another Niveis thought it may be the first outside of training. Anivia tended to have a natural calming effect on other Niveis she was sure that was due to the link she had to her species. “Alright we shall get more medical <a href="https://66.media.tumblr.com/d4620a83ec592c0b8f6b5316177297ef/tumblr_ogx8yhucfP1u2xi1co7_r1_250.gif" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img src="https://66.media.tumblr.com/d4620a83ec592c0b8f6b5316177297ef/tumblr_ogx8yhucfP1u2xi1co7_r1_250.gif?profile=RESIZE_710x" class="align-left"/></a>supplies, better to have it and not need it.” she agreed before looking to him rolling his eyes. “Why do I have a feeling you wish to fight?” She chuckled. Before her hand came to his arm, “Soon enough we will blend in and no one will notice us Dae. This is just the awkward stage.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Anivia gave a soft groan as she thought about how they use to have fresh fish daily. The Lake in the mountain provided some but Anivia feared over fishing it. “We have to make do without fish as much. Even if it saddens me.” She chuckled as she moved along the Isle picking up things as they moved together. “I am glad you too made a classic reunion, lord knows I feared talking to Kal for so long.” Anivia paused and looked at him for a moment. “If you leave?” She asked as she smirked slightly she could feel the nervousness through the other Niveis. “Dear Dae, is there something you have been keeping from me?”</span></p>
