Shine in the Night

"No"

Chrysanthos stared at his brother, his smile slowly fading as his brows knitted together. No? What on earth could he mean by saying such a thing? "You can't be serious…" They were family, they were supposed to be together. It made no sense to him that Pegasus would want to stay in this strange and uncouth country but as his brother spoke the pieces slowly began to fall into place. So that was why Pegasus had come to this land in the first place to avenge father.

This time Chrys stared at the ground. What had happened to his father at the paws of the Abraxas was something he preferred to keep pushed away as far as possible. He'd been beyond angry, so full of sorrow that some nights he could hardly sleep. Yet, Chrys was not a warrior. While he fantasized about harming those that had done his family wrong he never expected to be capable of doing so and so he'd devoted all his venom to prayer. Prayer that Ley would smite those wicked creatures swiftly and brutally. However, while a noble warrior Chrys was not, Pegasus certainly was. If anyone could avenge their father he was certain Pegasus could do it. But what did he mean he built a life here…

"I… I understand. I have often dreamt of poisoning those wretches and crushing their skulls in my jaws… but I never thought that it would actually be possible." He glanced up at his brother, seeking the others eyes. "Do you have a plan? And what do you mean that you've built a life here?" What life could there be in this place? He was soon answered.

I know it’s a lot to ask of you, but I plan to raise a pack, will you stay here with me, at least until the fighting is over? I imagine I’ll need all the help I can get.

Chrys locked eyes with his brother for a moment as he ascertained the other's will. Finally he sighed and smiled at Pegasus. "Of course brother. There's no way I would let you face this threat alone. And after its over… we'll see. Maybe I have been unfair. Perhaps there is something in this land besides shadow."
