cauterize my heart

Eligos greeted him and Aureus couldn't help but feel he'd stumbled into something. Pyrrhic skipped the pleasantries and instead spoke of the absences that Risen had suffered. Most of their older members had left and there had been deaths as well. The most notable to Aureus had been the loss of his mentor Apollo. He kept silent while his twin caught their brother up on the situation. It really was just the three of them now as their sisters had both left.

Aureus nodded as Eligos spoke. They were in a vulnerable situation for sure and as their forefathers had run on a campaign of domination there would no doubt be plenty of wolves seeking revenge. He barely stifled a growl at the mention of their beloved uncle Archon. In his opinion if Archon hadn't been fucking around with his stupid cult then Malleus would have had no reason to call him for a talk. Malleus would not have been at the volcano. Malleus would not have died.

"You ask the big questions, Eligos. I honestly don't know. I barely know what to do with myself but I suppose we need to ask ourselves… do we want to continue our forefathers mission? Right now… right now I wonder if we should forge for ourselves a new path?"
