Drake/Graxdon

~~~~~~~~~~

Drake came outside his small beach house casually drinking a large glass of his favorite iced tea. To him, as Graxdon, this had become tradition whenever he became "awakened" in his current reincarnated form: he would immediately go out to the nearest large body of water with a large drink, look towards said body of water, slowly drink his beverage until it was finished, then go to his current home and simply wait for them, ally or enemy, to come to him.

This was the way he had done it for centuries to help deal with the incoming rush of memories, the stress of multiple lifetimes, and the upcoming conflict. He was lucky enough in this latest incarnation to be living near a beach. Usually, he lived miles away from any river, dam, or beach nearby.

Drake took a look up at the sky to see the comet passing by overhead. "So that's the cause of our reawakening this time, huh?" he thought out loud to himself. "It's always something we never see or expect until almost the very last moment like assassinations or natural phenomena. Glad it's natural phenomena this time around, I was getting a little annoyed that the last few reincarnations we brought on by assassinations."

This was also another tradition: whenever Graxdon was awakened, he would reflect on his past lives and go over details about them, big or small. He never made sure to bring in details about the conflict or his association with the other Scions. To Graxdon, this was practically the only time where he could bring down the walls of his persona and be truly contemplative and reflective and not all about business. Even in the eye of the stormy conflicts, he was all about maintaining balance and order. The calm before the storm was when he could think as a true individual and not part of a collected whole.

Drake took another slow drink of his tea and took another long look at the beach. He wanted to cherish his time of personal reflecting for as long as possible because as soon as he was found, by Light or Darkness, it would begin again.
