Killer in the Mirror [DM]

Large paws ate away at the earth, tearing it up as he dug a hole large enough to accommodate his brothers body well enough. It was the least he could do. The least he would do. It was more than Elias deserved...it didn't take him terribly long, so when he finished digging he grabbed his brother by the scruff and dragged him in. He stood over him for a few moments, wordlessly staring at his fallen brother...his former comrade. Things could have been different. They should have been different. But this was the path that Elias had chosen, and his journey had ended with Ace. Sighing, he started to cover up his body with fresh earth. Nobody would disturb him, and if they did well, he wouldn't know about it. He likely wouldn't visit this spot again, and nobody but him and Heloise would know where he rested now. He'd remain here...alone...and eventually forgotten. He knew that after this, he could finally move on now that he knew Boreas would be safe from his deranged brothers madness. Ignis and Actaea would be safe. Tyranis' kids would be safe...he hoped. He didn't know if Tyranis still held onto those ideals after all that had happened, but he supposed he'd find out in due time.

When he finished, he took a moment to clear his head and wipe away the tears. When he felt he was steady enough, he turned around and looked at Heloise. She had said he didn't have to do it alone, but right now, he felt more alone than ever. Killing Elias and burying him was something he had to do on his own. He didn't think she'd understand, but that was something he wasn't quite ready to talk about just yet. Quietly, he walked over to her and sought to press his head into her neck if she allowed him to, seeking some sort of comfort as well as showing his thanks for her being there. He was sure that if he had been left alone after the ordeal, he would have broken down.
