It didn't take long for his niece to come out, her face contorted in a way he'd never seen before. Then he understood why. "They're all gone," What!? He jerked his head back a bit, crimson gaze moving between niece and nephew as both of them seemed confused by what was going on. So...his brother disbanded the pack while he was gone? "God damn you Elias!" He snarled, tail lashing as his fur bristled with anger. How could the pack do this? How could his brother do this!? Leaving a pup on her own with no way to defend herself!? Was he trying to teach them some sort of cruel lesson? Did he take the others and leave Actaea and Ignis behind for some reason? Did Elias decide to walk down the path of their birth pack? He knew his brother had done some fucked up shit in the past, but this one blew all the others out of the water. How could he tell them that Elias abandoned them? That he wasn't coming back? What about their mother? He didn't know Zuriel at all, he'd never spoken to her. But it seemed she wasn't around, either. And the rest? Tyranis? Drakan? The other three pups? All Gone.
This was unacceptable.
He decided that he would be straightforward and tell them the truth.
"It seems that Elias has abandoned the pack...and abandoned you. And it seems the pack has abandoned you as well..." And to think I believed all of his bullshit! You sure pulled the wool over my eyes pretty good this time... He thought bitterly. I should have killed you a long time ago...you don't even deserve an honorable death you fucking coward! He wanted to scream to the heavens as loud as he could to make sure his traitorous brother heard, but he refrained. He wouldn't say such things in front of the children.
His gaze fell back to the two pups before him, his expression twisted in anger but slowly calmed. For their sake. "So everyone left huh? What about your mother? Tyranis? Drakan even? Did they all leave, too?" He didn't particularly care about those who weren't blood-related. But those who were...and those who acted like they were so invested in Ruina and it's doctrine...All traitors! Ruina was bound by blood. And he would have it. He vowed to himself that he would take it upon himself to punish those who had done wrong. Although he was no longer Ruina's official Judge by rank anymore, he would keep the title and serve his own justice. Abandoning a young pup with no means to defend herself was wrong. And they'd do well to remember that if they ever crossed his path.
