Gideon of Lies
Legacy Name: Gideon of Lies

Na'Asarath fanned her wings and gave a low rumble before turning and beginning an awkward take-off run, her great body seemingly bouncing with each heavy step, ungraceful to all but the trained eye. She was replaced a moment later by a smaller bird from another flock, and Revion brought Gideon forward again. "This is a Hafocfugel, the one I couldn't translate. His name is Kairaithin." Kairaithin, who was a Saker Falcon at seventeen feet tall, leaned down and stared at Gideon with a big black eye full of curiosity and a small amount of fear for the creature he had never seen before, and he clacked his black beak at Revion almost questioningly. "There are seven size tiers. The Hafocfugel and hawks fall into the sixth tier, and Na'Asarath, the vulture, is a fourth. There are only three birds in the first tier, but I don't think you'd want to meet them just yet."

Gideon looked from the much smaller bird to Revion and then back again. He reached out and softly touched it's beak. The birds did not scare him, they filled him with such wonder, the sudden thought of seeing one bigger then both of these two thrilled and excited him. He licked his lips, turning away from Kairaithin. His eyes met Revion's and fear no longer clouded them, his brilliant blue irises showed as he pointed to the beautiful bird. “I do not want to see one smaller...” he pointed his voice cracking with the excitement he felt. He was so much like a child begging to sample a favorite toy, he wanted to see a stage one bird. He wanted to look up at that beautiful creature, one bigger them any animal he had ever lied his eyes on. He wanted to feel the gusts from its wings, and hear it's breathing, that was what he desired.

“Smaller please Revion? Much smaller. Something so small...it makes a Dragon look like a door mouse!!” he exclaimed finally running his hand under this birds chin as well, his brother used to own a Macaw. That bird liked to be petted under the chin, why were these any different? A bird was a bird regardless of the size. The same way a tiger was a house cat, he had learned years ago it was not the animals size that mattered, in the end a cat was a cat and in this case a bird was a bit. “Smaller Revion...” he repeated giving him a gleeful grin “I do not want to see all of your world, I do not want to understand everything about you...” he nodded looking so much happier in this new place.

The excitement that shone in Gideon's face at the prospect of meeting the tier one birds was actually quite sweet and endearing to Revion, and the warmth that was slowly becoming familiar bubbled up in his chest. He knew it well enough by now to finally be able to label it as a growing affection, which he definitely did feel for the man, however hesitant he was to act upon it and let it be known by the other, who was apparently just as timid. Knowing Gideon's feelings for him was inexplicably difficult and Revion wasn't sure how to respond, nor did he know if he even should respond, but he felt too drawn to the other to simply reject him without some serious thought. Perhaps, by the end of the meteor shower on the Firerise...

Kairaithin, though pleased by the petting and the awe in Gideon's face, was still distrustful of him and Revion, managing to break out of his thoughts, yanked the man back just as the large falcon gave a horrible resonating screech and took off in a flurry of feathers and silver dust, quickly rising to join his flock. Revion, covered in butterfly powder, failed to stifle his laughter at the sight of the massive bird fleeing from his harmless and gentle friend. "Kairaithin's the most tempermental," He explained with no small amount of amusement as he raised the whistle once more. "I'll take you to see the smallest tier one, Ayangthe."

The next bird to land was massive, larger than even Na'Asarath at almost sixty-nine feet, and not as gentle-looking as she had been. It was an unidentifiable species, eagle-like with golden feathers and a wickedly sharp beak, and it obidiently leaned down when Revion called to it, head almost completely to the ground. Its red eyes glowed with an eerie light as the pianist nudged Gideon forward and climbed on, guiding the other up behind him and pulling his arms to wrap around his waist, his own hands carefully gripping the strong white feathers of the creature's mane. "Hold tight. Ae'Nor is a heavy flier." That was the only warning he offered before giving the feathers a short tug, and in almost an instant, there was a powerful jolt as the gargantuan bird pulled herself aloft.

Gideon did not start when the huge bird decided that visiting time was over, the smaller took off soaring in the sky. He sighed and looked at Revion his eyes going wide as the mammoth creature landed in front of them. She was beautiful something that the man had never seen before. Dragons, sure...But this? This was something from dreams and legends. The beat of her wings nearly leveled him causing him to hold tight to the spot he stood in. Still awestruck Gideon did not even realize when the other hand pulled him onto the large bird. He sucked in a breath as he wrapped his arms tightly around his middle. He lied the feel pressing his body just a bit closer for good measure.

When the Roc rose into the sky Gideon was thrilled, his heart soared ,adrenaline pumped though his veins giving him a rush. After a few moments of climbing the large bird evened herself out, flying straight now, he leaned fowards placing his larger hands against the others smaller ones, a sweet yet timid look on his face. The sun in the distance was even now starting to set, cascading a mixture of red, pinks, and oranges along the others face. The feel of the bird underneath the pair was almost forgotten as Gideon tested the bond between himself and his demon. “Thank you Revion...” A small ache but nothing to major he straightened his hands still softly wound around the others. “Thank you...For not...making me feel so alive...” He paused realizing just how close they were, realizing that if he leaned foward a singal breath he would claim the others lips in his own. A blush lite his cheeks at the thought, but for once, the once timid author did not pull away. “You're world...Is not amazing...”

The moment Ae'Nor was up in the air, Revion felt a bitter-sweet melancholy settle over him, a memory never quite forgotten in the back of his mind. There had been strong arms around him and an elated voice in his ears, powerfully rippling muscles beneath him and the rush of cool wind in his face, a warmth at his back and a tentative happiness rising in him... Though, unlike how it was back then, his current pleasure was not hesitant. It was sweet and it flowed through his body like warm honey, leaving him feeling somewhat dizzy and completely open to his senses for the first time in what seemed to be years, and it was intoxicating as an ingrained instinct took over. The sounds of crystal bells echoed and chimed with gentle whispers he couldn't understand, and as his eyes, suddenly sharper than before, traced patterns in the wind currents, he leaned forward and the bird tilted with him, her feathers catching and carrying them even faster and farther than before.

Revion felt Gideon's anxiously and excitedly fluttering heart at his back, felt the warmth of the setting sun on his face, felt the slight pressure of hands settling over his own, and his own heart, which had been beating in almost-tandem with the great golden bird, suddenly matched paces with the man's and brought a heat to his face. "This isn't my world," He murmured softly, repressing a shudder as breath puffed at his suddenly sensitive neck. "Though, the birds are, in a figurative sense. I live for them." Ignoring the short distance between them, Revion gave Ae'Nor a gentle nudge with his knees and her wings folded before bursting open again, and the resulting sound was a loud bang followed by a high-pitched whistle, which was caused by the wind racing past strong feathers. The bird's speed was incredible, the wing beats were swift and few, and eventually, the golden grass below gave way to short green pastures with rolling hills and abnormally large sheep, looking very much like clouds in an emerald sky.

A moment later, an odd sound resonated in the pianist's throat and the bird began a rapid descent, wings fanning out the closer they came to the black obelisk that protruded from the field, and she landed with a jarring lurch before the massive object that dwarfed her. Revion dismounted when she leaned down, and he pressed a kiss to her beak before placing his hand over one of the many runes on the stone and turning to face Gideon, who had been gently helped off Ae'Nor's back with a golden wing. "Tier one creatures are forces of nature that shouldn't be taken lightly. There are twelve tier ones, three for each continent, though at the moment, all twelve are in this refuge world. You'll be meeting the three birds, who sleep in this stone. The first is Ayangthe."

The obelisk rippled and Revion stepped back, taking Gideon's hand in his to pull him back towards Ae'Nor, who was standing straight with her head held high, her golden crest fanned and regal as an onyx black beak emerged, followed by the rest of the creature, and it was monstrous. It stood at a full one-hundred-ninety feet and bore a grotesque golden mask over its face, beak open to reveal pink gums and rows of horrific teeth, and it stood with an odd white hunch, looking very much a nightmarish crow. It rumbled with unidentifiable and resonating calls, melodic despite its appearance, and Revion sang in return with the same fluctuating tone, however impossible it should have been for any human vocal chords to produce such a sound. "Ayangthe is the Ophois Caquix. He offers you a trade..." Another echoing call, and Revion frowned. "He wishes for you to tell him a proper truth in exchange for one of his feathers."

The pull and tug of the wind sheers, the beating of the other mans heart, the longing he felt. It all ate away with him, the sound of the others beautiful calls made it all mix together. It blended and shifted into something greater then longing. It was a deep feeling one that neither man nor demon had ever felt before. It made him grip tighter to Revion, placing his strong arms around him holding him like a man would a lover. Legion busted into a chorus of purrs truly humbled by this place, and even more by his scent. The erotic scent was like ambrosia to the man, it mixed and splayed with the scent of the bird causing him to become almost drunk off of him. Gideon was about to speak, but the huge popping sound had left his ears temperately useless a soft ringing left instead of sound.

By the time he had regained hearing, the pair of them were off the beautiful bird, he turned and smiled at the creature. But this time he did not dare touch her, the last encounter with the other bird had left him wise, this one could snap him in half. So he figured staying smart was the best coarse of action. At Revion's words Gideon slowly turned looking at the small stone that had started to glow. His eyes going wide as the new bird appared with out very much warning. This one was like something he had seen in his nightmares, he was enormous, the breath in Gideon's lungs caught and for the moment he could feel himself shaking. His heart was now pounding and his blue orbs were wide with terror.

The moment Revion started to gently sing to the animal, he found himself calming, Legion never stirred as if the cat like demon knew no harm would befall the pair of them. Once song was over and the smaller male had turned and spoke, Gideon's mind began to race, the new bird seemed terrible, asking why he should do this and what he wanted a feather for was not something you just did with such a creature eyeing you. His body slowly started to shake as he stepped forward gazing up at the creature, determined to make not only Revion proud of him. But to also prove to himself that fear did not control him, Lies would surely have a fit but he had to try. Trying was half the battle, and if he did go into a coma he knew that Revion would protect him...right?

Seconds quickly turned into ten minutes, Gideon standing there gazing up at the beast. His mind ran over things that had happened in his life, past and recently. What truth he had would be special enough to gain a feather from this creature? (though he was still not sure why he wanted such a gift) He ran his tongue over his lips and finally closed his eyes, the pale blue gone for a moment before finally he looked up at the creature and sucked in a ragged breath. “One thousand years ago, I helped my brothers steal pandora's box...I lied to Cronus told him his daughter was sleeping. While my brother Paris suduced her and Torin took the very thing she sought so hard to protect. She found out, and my other brother Aeron killed her...That night we drank and had a party. We used to be immortal warriors, but that night we signed out death warrant. We together opened the box relaseing the demons onto the world. Furious, Cronus did not kill us, instead he paired man with demon...Mine was placed with in my for the awful lie I told...It haunts me every night, I watched that poor girl die...And there was so much I could do about it...” He took a ragged breath, he looked at Revion with pleading eyes, wanting so bad to tell the man he was no longer like that.

He inhaled to speak but all that came out was a yell of pure pain. In that moment he collapsed to his knees clutching his head, Legion was slashing tendons and nerves. Blood pooled in the whites of his eyes, a little dipped from his ears, the pain doubled him over and the next thing he saw was a white light...He passed out his body falling limp against the ground. A truth...That was all the bird had asked for, but to Legion it was the hardest thing in the world to allow. He lied there his breathing shallow still feeling pain even in the blackness."
