World So Cold

Well, thus was unexpected. As Sheerrun rose up and cried out to the world, snow would suddenly fall from the sky to envelop the boy. Sin couldn't help himself, he burst out laughing at the sight. When was the last time he had laughed out of sheer happiness? Instead of laughing and someone else's foolishness or potential doom? There was something about these kids of his that brought something else out of him...though it wouldn't change him completely, it had ignited some sort of dormant light within the dark confines of his shattered soul. He rolled back onto his stomach, wiping away the rest of the snow as he licked his sons muzzle. Did he really give the impression that he hated or looked down upon his children? Perhaps all they had seen before was the wicked part of him that sought to rent his enemies asunder, but even he had tried to keep that hidden from them. But now, would Sheerrun change his mind? What about Obscuro and Ganta and the others? It only made him wonder what they thought, and perhaps when he returned home he would spend some time with them as well.
"Of course you did son. Even the sky feared you enough!" He chuckled, cocking an ear as amber gaze sought him out. His question was surprising to say the least. But he should have known to expect it eventually. "Arietta is my mate. We have been together for a long time now." Now...how to explain the relationship between he and Ylva...well, there didn't really seem to be one. She had merely been a pawn. And she had offered herself to the devil. "You're mother and I are...not in love, the way Arietta and I are. But you are my son, and I love you regardless. Don't ever think otherwise." He nuzzled him gently, licking him lightly on the nose. |
