He had done it. Blood spattered over his white fur after his teeth had sunk into his brothers throat. He had done it as quickly as he could to spare his brother anymore pain than was necessary. Even though Elias deserved nothing but pain and misery after all the things he'd done, part of him still loved him. They had been through alot together...but all of that came crashing down. This was perhaps the kindest act he could give him. Feeling stoic, he stood there and watched as the blood pooled. His heart clenched at the sight of his brothers now lifeless body, and despite all the anger and rage that had consumed him, he couldn't help but still feel heartbroken over the loss. Things could have been different. They could have still been at each others side, but they had each chosen a different path. Elias had destroyed himself, succumbing to the ancient demons that plagued him. Allowing them to control him. Ace had escaped that long ago, and even doubted their existence. He never truly heard the voices that some of the others claimed to hear, and always wondered if they used them as excuses to do the cruel things they did.
He stood there, staring at his fallen brother for what felt like an eternity. "Acere," He did not move, nor acknowledge anything for a long moment. The king still processing what he'd done. But...he had done it for a good cause. To both save his brother from himself and others that would have gotten hurt by him. Finally, after several long and quiet moments, he spoke. "I don't know. I had requested Ignis to take charge if I didn't come back..." He murmured quietly. He wasn't even sure if Ignis would have wanted to take up the mantle and continue, or if he would become overwhelmed and disband everything. Whichever way Ignis would have taken, he would understand. But it didn't matter now, because he'd be returning home.
It started to drizzle, then. Great, he thought. The drops started to mix in with the blood, and he could feel the blood mixed water soaking his fur as it trailed down his body. He felt tears slip from his eyes as he kept watch over his brothers body, his form unmoving from his position. His foxes sat in silence as well, not speaking a word as they felt the gravity of the situation. He refrained from looking at Heloise still..."It had to be done.." He whispered, loud enough for her to hear but not quite strong enough to hear the quavering in his voice. |
