The path at the end of the world

Oxide was loathe to leave the privacy of the falls, but knew that he had made a commitment to the Ademre as a whole. Eris wouldn’t have allowed him to keep her there anyway. Responsibilities. Everything he’d aimed to avoid in his life and look at where it’d gotten him. He couldn’t say all the effort wasnt worth it though, the last day.. week.. however long they’d been lost in each other beneath the falls. Seemed to have renewed his tiny shadow. The spirit in her step was back, and she was eager to make sure that her family made it to safety.

The pair were quicker to find them than Ox had expected, but it was better this way. Deep ruby eyes fell on the other Ademre, the one who was obviously Lament’s sister seemed to be injured. Ox stood back, his purpose clear, keep her safe. His eyes returned to the horizon and he swept the area. No one was sneaking up on them today.
