Upon The Horizons

As the stranger gazed at him after the question of Ra, Thoth became nervous for the first time in his presence. The boy remained still, steeling his own gaze to match the intensity before the shadowy brute answered. The young Ithuriel couldnt take his eyes or ears off the man as he offered little snippets of information. He knew of Ra, and was one of his children. Thoth didnt know how many half siblings lingered beyond his reach, but he had found one.

Suffering. It seemed the first of the gods had not left only his son Thoth in turmoil with his disappearance. The boy could only guess that the shadow's grievences were much more serious than his own of abandonment. The reaction to their father's name was enough to tell him that. The speech was rounded out with a question of Thoth's suffering. He hadn't lost anyone but his sire.

"He abandoned me." The young boy answered, "What has he done to you, brother, that would leave you so wounded?" He wondered if the mortal god before him would give him his name with out prompting.
