cauterize my heart

A familiar voice calling from the border brought Pyrrhic at a run. Like Felicity, Pyrrhic hadn't seen Eligos since he'd told them of their father's death. They needed their space and Pyrrhic could respect that, and neither were fools so during the relocation process when neither showed up he hadn't worried. They could take care of themselves. But knowing that didn't lessen the relief any when he heard his brother's voice.

Pyrrhic slowed to a walk when Eligos came into view. Seeing his brother again sent a fresh wave of grief rolling over him. His gaze fell to the ground as he fought to rein the sorrow in. After a beat he turned his attention to Eligos and gave his brother a sad smile. He was happy to see him; happy to see he was well and that he hadn't fallen victim to the many natural disasters that now lashed Auster. "You made it," he said with a relieved sigh.
