Oh, Let's Go Back To The Start...

Hate. There was a flash of hatred rising up within Fel as Eligos told her to pull herself together. She wanted to sink her teeth into him just for that remark. He didn't know. He hadn't seen. He wasn't the one that had seen their brother broken, bloody and lifeless. When he did, no doubt he would be the mighty leader and be able to hold himself cool and collected, right? She said nothing though. The woman simply let a hardness enter her gaze and she turned away from him. Let him go on his own. Let him see on his own.

With the dogs running off to get Pyrrhic and Riva, there was nothing for Fel to do other than take the boy back. Once he was safe, she would make sure that her brother at least would be sent to the scene. No healer, no matter how skilled, would be able to bring Aureus back from the dead. Fel had seen him. She had seen that lifeless glaze over his blue eyes. There was no doubt in her mind. She was not in denial. Aureus was well and truly gone. No manner of emotion could or would erase that from her mind. It didn't matter how much she 'got herself together.' Bastard...

Everyone dealt with grief in their own way. At first Fel had been ready to cry, but having Asmodeus there had stopped her. Then Eli was there and that pushed the tears back even more. She didn't want to think about Aureus, her sweet, shining sibling. If she could hold back the tears forever, she surely would. She focused on her current task, escorting Deus back to the dens. Once he was there, she gave him but a word before moving away. "Stay."

Maybe Pyrrhic and Riva wouldn't answer the call of the two dogs, so Fel released a howl as she searched for them. It was what Eligos wanted. Had it been up to her, she'd have located Pyrrhic quietly so that the three of them could do what needed to be done in privacy. Just the four of them together one last time.
