I'm Coming Home

Voltage could just...collapse in her arms. He really felt he could as she wrapped around him, warming the ice that had creapt into his veins. He felt so weak, and he broke down like he really hadn't been able too. He had been grieving in almost silence, unable to stop the tears but not breaking so fully. He sobbed into her fur, clinging to her as her soft voice carried over him. It was a blessing, the universe had answered his prayers. His fire was back, and he needed her more than he realized. He needed her warmth, needed her care.

No one, minus Glacier, really understood him as well as Serefina.

He cried into her fur, sobbed and broke. She asked what happened but oh, how could he begin? How could he properly explain. She apologized for being gone and he just shook his head. "I was never mad..." He whispered softly, his voice broken but he hugged her even harder. "I just missed you. So much." His family was his element, and when one was gone he felt as if a large part of him had left as well.

It was more true now than it had ever been. "She's gone..." He breathed, his voice catching in his throat. "Illie, my little girl. She was washed away by the ocean weeks ago...I've been searching endlessly. She's gone, Sere...I cannot find her..." He sobbed into her fur, his head tilting down to hide his eyes, his face, his brokenness from her. He was weak, Astrea was right. So weak
