"You must be very proud of your cousin." Malleus nodded. "Indeed I am. He's not even two years old and he's already made the family proud." Who could say what else the Fallen God had in store for him? Ashiel was young and strong. His life had only just begun and he was already making waves in the name of their Father. Malleus was certain his cousin was destined for greatness. Silence was her closest companion? He was surprised by this. From day one he'd been surrounded by family. They were inescapable, everywhere and impossible to ignore. He couldn't imagine being surrounded by enough silence to consider it his closest friend. As crazy as his family was, he couldn't imagine life without them. What she described sounded lonely. "I can," he murmured with a soft smile. "Ah," he said with a chuckle, thinking of the countless miles between the Empire and their homeland, "no, I'm not from here. Or anywhere, really." After realizing how odd that might sound on its own, he explained, "The Fallen God, my family's forefather, has called upon us to spread His name as far as we are able, so I haven't stayed in one place since I was a child." |
