Shine in the Night
At least it was a clear night if a bit cool for his usual tastes. Chrysanthos took a moment to appreciate the reflection of the stars in the vast lake that marked the middle of the island. He wasn't sure if he'd really find any of his siblings here but it had been such an interesting sight, drifting on the horizon, that he simply couldn't resist taking a look around. He felt like the island was calling to him, though he didn't know why. He'd found a few basic herbs but nothing he was keen to carry back across the water. For now he decided to just take to exploring.
Moving around the lake he continued toward the strange dark shapes that lay opposite the lake. The were geometric and sharp and really didn't look like they belonged here. They certainly weren't anything natural. He slipped through the cattails and reeds, dipping his head to take a quick drink before he continued.
He was still reeling from everything that happened. Célestin was an Abraxas, one of the wolves he had sworn to destroy, and most of his immediate family it seemed had come to join him on his mission to wipe the family out. He did what he normally did in moments when his own thoughts grew too heavy to bear; he wandered. Lately he had been roaming the south but tonight he ventured northward, toward the eastern end of the continent and over a narrow strip of land that led to an island.
He turned his attention upward with a soft whine, his namesake winking down at him from the vast canopy of space. He needed answers, someone he could confide in, but who? Who would understand the what he had been through and provide guidance? His mother he supposed but for some reason he balked at the thought of sharing the deep emotions he had come to feel for Célestin with his mother.
He kept his head low as he walked, only to lift it abruptly as a familiar scent wafted toward him. “Brother!” His mind roared and in an instant he was racing through the woods, tracking the scent of his brother Chrysanthos.
“Chrys!” He called happily, his spirits instantly lifted as he raced toward his brother.
speaking Thinking you |
Chrysanthos had started to lift his head when he caught the reflection of the stars in the beautiful lake. It was a lovely night. His eyes fixed on a few of the more recognizable constellations before he glanced up at the sky seeking to find them in the sky above him. His eyes focused on a constellation that rested lower in the sky, Pegasus, and he found himself wishing for the thousandth time he could find his siblings.
"Brother!"
He even thought he could hear his brothers-
Chrysanthos whipped his head around, mouth falling open as he saw his brother bounding toward him. "Pegasus! I don't believe it. How have you been? Mother's been worried. Have you seen any of our other siblings. I think everyone's tried to follow you here."
