An apparent colossus was still no match for the cold. It had taken so long for the brute to get over the chill in his bones brought on by falling into the freezing water. He had spent the majority of his youth in the southern hemisphere of the globe, why did he ever think it was a good idea to travel north? He had half a mind to travel further south once again, back to the plains perhaps... or maybe even take refuge in the mountains now that they were no longer claimed by his father, but...

He still had matters to attend to in the North, to put it simply.

Still, he kept to the southernmost parts, where the snow was the thinnest and no lakes risked being blanketed beneath his feet without his knowledge. Perhaps it was fate that he'd fallen into the ice that day and made his way further south, because he may have very well missed such an important call from his estranged brother.

Black towers twitched on top of his skull as the familiar howl rang through the air. Immediately, his paws started motioning toward the sound with haste and it wasn't long before the sound of the fall echoed in the distance. He was surprised he could hear the call at all with his brother sitting so close to it, but the power of an Adravendi seemed to exist even in their lungs. He smirked, standing at the top of the waterfall's cliff and looked downward with his lone ruby stare. He couldn't keep his tail from swaying behind him as he lifted his head and released a loud call of his own.

Once he was finished, his lips peeled back into a smile as he looked down to his brother, letting him know he was there. He needed a moment to find his way down, but he didn't want Miach to walk away while he did so. He turned from the edge of the cliff and it took a twenty minutes before he reappeared, walking along the lake's edge. There was a lot of mixed emotions swirling within the brute's heart as he laid his eyes on Miach, but he could not deny the excitement within him for reuniting with, in his opinion, his only brother.

"Miach!" His legs lifted with animated excitement as the barrel of a wolf neared his brother, head lowering as his nostrils flared to take in any scents that the male carried with him. He didn't smell of their family, which concerned Kane slightly. No trace of Daelos, Zuriel, or even Elias.

"What happened?" His excitement was paused for the moment as his features expressed their worry. His thick skull tilted, favoring keeping his good eye centered on the male as he anticipated an answer. He hoped that Miach simply went off on his own, that there was no report of tragedy.. but.. he knew how the world was. He knew that it was seldom that kind.
