Everything Ends

He knew it was coming. How could he not? He knew even before his mother called on Cascade. It had only been confirmed when Cascade responded, instead of Angelus or Valentine. It was then that his mother and siblings didn't truly understand his reason for staying; why would you stay in a dying pack, leaving your family? But then, he wasn't sure if any but his mother actually understood what was happening at the time. Lykos took his sweet time arriving, appearing as Mercy went off on a male - a male of another pack which he did not know. Imperium was not yet disbanded, and he knew that several of them had still kept the borders strong - the call was not official, though soon it would be. Mercy was within her rights, he believed, though he himself stayed silent as the male singled out Birna... and then left. His gaze switched to Birna, who politely declined, explaining she wished to be alone.

Ah, if only he could do the same, but it felt as if he had a duty to the pack his mother started. He made no promises to go there if Imperium fell, yet it felt like it would be a betrayal if he went to another pack. And so he would go there, after this. The boy sighed, his gaze turning towards Cascade, waiting for the inevitable.
