He watched Acere's unfaltering anger shine like the pit of the volcano they grew up in, brightening those blood gem eyes beneath the sun as they scorched through his very soul. He could not look away from them, they were the same eyes their father and most of their siblings bore. Something about them, even when filled with anger, soothed him... made him feel like home.
Though, anger was always a part of home, wasn't it?
The only motion Elias made through-out Acere's barking was a slight ear twitch when he asked if he was still plagued by them. "We were born of them... have you forgotten? We are theirs, even in death. Our father heard them, and now I hear them, too." The muscles in his shoulders twitched slightly as he reclined to his haunches. His pupils shrank as his eyes lost their focus on Acere, a distant look overcoming him once again as he recessed back into his mind.
"I just fight to them to leave me alone until I can no longer escape them. They can have me in death, but not in life. I refuse," his last words came out with a low rumbling growl, his words hissing between his teeth as the muscles in his jaws tensed. He calmed himself at Acere's next question, his eyes snapping back to meet his brother's twin stare.
His ears flicked, but he answered as if he were unabashed by his words. He would not lie to Acere, and he could not deny nor take back what he had done. Not to Alis, not to Katar, not to these poor women in Boreas, either. "Three. All within a month of each one." He paused, his muzzle dipping as he slacked in posture, thinking. "It was.. when I first got here, I could not control it. I heard Katar.. and she... encouraged me?! She told me to do it, why would she want that...? I- I tried to fight it. Zuriel, one of the women... wanted to help me, but I wouldn't let her. Despite what I did to her, I wouldn't risk remaining around her. She had heart enough to want to help me after what I did to her and I could not allow myself to hurt her again, I left. Just like I left Ruina, left Ictus and his family so that they could be at peace without... this."
