He was still reeling from everything that happened. Célestin was an Abraxas, one of the wolves he had sworn to destroy, and most of his immediate family it seemed had come to join him on his mission to wipe the family out. He did what he normally did in moments when his own thoughts grew too heavy to bear; he wandered. Lately he had been roaming the south but tonight he ventured northward, toward the eastern end of the continent and over a narrow strip of land that led to an island.

He turned his attention upward with a soft whine, his namesake winking down at him from the vast canopy of space. He needed answers, someone he could confide in, but who? Who would understand the what he had been through and provide guidance? His mother he supposed but for some reason he balked at the thought of sharing the deep emotions he had come to feel for Célestin with his mother.

He kept his head low as he walked, only to lift it abruptly as a familiar scent wafted toward him. “Brother!” His mind roared and in an instant he was racing through the woods, tracking the scent of his brother Chrysanthos.

“Chrys!” He called happily, his spirits instantly lifted as he raced toward his brother.
