A Long Time Coming but it's Bittersweet~

Indigo thought he was old friends with strife and sorrow by now, but after Resin the blow he was hit with laid him low. How long had it been since he saw his mother or brother? Had he even told them goodbye before he left for Auster with the Hallows? The young man tried so hard not to let blame fall on his shoulders but all he could feel was guilt. Guilt that he hadn’t been here and hadn’t been able to spend their last days together. This was a different feeling to the sorrow that he had for Rue and her untimely end. This was surreal and unbelievable, maybe because he hadn’t been there. Rue had died before his eyes, his mother and brother died innumerable miles away from him.

Beyond the loss he had his mind filled with what ifs and second thoughts. Regrets that hadn’t been settled bubbled up and Indigo felt like he was more uncertain than he had ever been before. There was one thing that never changed, no matter the distance or time. His love for Aslatiel. The pain he felt wasn’t new, it was something that was always with him and only renewed by all the loss he faced. After everything he just wanted to be beside his sister again.

The young man followed her trail not long after she crossed out of the territory, he found the snow easier to navigate once it eased up under the thick canopy, and Indy wasn’t long before he found the tree. Without hesitation the boy moved forward, ducking underneath the awning to close the distance that remained between them for far too long. He didn’t say anything because they didn’t need words in that moment, after everything Indigo just wanted Aslatiel in his arms.

There was nothing left between them, no eyes at their back and no distance between them. Indy aimed to wrap his arms around her shoulders and pull her tightly to his thick maned chest. He’d hold her head beneath his chin and wrap her against him like he’d never let go again.
