Now that I'm coming home

Bathed in the light of the new moon, the dark coat of the Titan held a silvery glint, dancing against the lighter tones he boosted in a way not seen in the light of day. Restless, that was how the man felt as he paced the borders of their pack lands. Anais was tucked home in the safety of their ocean territory, their children, so tiny their eyes could not yet open would be snuggled against her side. It begged the question, why was he out here? Why was he alone in the night when the most perfect family he could imagine waited in his den? It was that restless energy that spurred him on. He had left the side of his love so he would not disturb her and their little ones. Things didn't feel right here in Donostrea. He felt that urge to fix them twisting his gut and refusing him happiness. He wanted to find Current and Illume, he needed to know that Current still lived, that Illume still lived. He wanted Arcus home, he wanted his stormy brother to lay witness to the children he had fathered. He wanted Selini, he wanted her for Solari's and for their pack he wanted Voltage's children to grow up with his, like he had always assumed they would, like he assumed the sun would rise each day. He wanted everything that was suppose to be here beside them and that fate had seen fit to rip from him. He was ripped from his thoughts by the sound of a soft, weak, howl at the borders. He titled his head, astonished at the feeling of familiarity that washed over him. He knew that howler... before he even knew what he was doing, he was gone, tearing across the lightly snowed landscape towards her. He pulled to a stop when she came into view, before continuing on more slowly, stopping again when he was before her. He would be startled by the wave of anger that vibrated through his body, and his next breath was thick with it. “Selini. It's been a year. A year.” he pointed out to her “I did not even know if you lived, if I would ever see you again. Storms have risen and fallen in your absence. Arcus has left our pack for another. Your brother had children. children Selini. And then, one was washed out to sea. And we know not if she lives. She would be nearly a year old now, we should be preparing to celebrate our spring birthdays, that she would have been a part of, not mourning a loss. Instead, you left us, she left us. My children are two weeks old. Solari's asked the sun and the stars their elements without you.” his voice grew softer “We needed you Selini, how could you abandon us? Have you forgotten what it means to be an Elementas?” he was breathless with the accusation, it hurt him to merely suggest it, and yet, he must. |
