We Shall Rise
There was a mischievous twist to her lips, something unsaid but terribly amusing. "I just came back from it." she quipped easily, and he understood her mirth. He let his lips curl upwards into a soft grin, a half laugh breezing past his lips. Indeed, she must have. her smile grew wider, and she pinned him beneath the weight of her stare. "I came to announce to you that I have defeated Ra. He is no longer the Head of the Ithuriel's." she finally announced, pride oozing from every pore. Were she any less than divinity, he might have warned her away from hubris. "This is our time to rise, blood. Forget their Empire, fore we own them nothing and build our own." she continued, adrenaline bringing forth dangerous fantasies. Were they possible? The wraith was unsure. He hadn't met the others, had not witnessed their strength nor tested their mettle. Perhaps it was madness induced by blood loss, or it was the rise of a brilliant new dawn upon their name. As she shifted her stance, he watched her eyes go hazy with a shock of pain. Ach, she ought to rest. "I want to unite our family. Will you stand by me, brother? Will you let me call you family?" her questioned rang hollow in his mind, and a thoughtful frown twisted his features. He held still as she closed the distance between them, gait made awkward by pain. Their cheeks brushed together, and he let his eyes flutter shut for a the briefest moment. Physical contact. He was hungry for it, but rarely sought it out. "I don't see why not," he sighed softly, mulling the whole thing over. Gaze fixed itself upon the ground at their feet, the trail of crimson that pattered here and there along Nephthys' path. "Come with me, let us get those wounds tended." soft vocals crooned to his sibling, beckoning her along with one crooked forepaw. There was a sheltered area not too far away, richer in plantlife and water. He would patch her up as best he could there, and wait until she was safe to move elsewhere. They could discuss anything else while they walked, and while he tended to her. |
