Áskell had grown weaker and weaker until he lost all awareness of the world around him. His diligent companions tended to him while he slept in a dark and fitful sleep. He'd awoken days later, fragile and weak but alive. His companions continued to care for him until he was strong enough to be dealt a nearly fatal blow to the heart. His brother Jigsaw, was dead. According to Kári the other boy had succumbed to his illness.

Áskell was devastated. He'd secluded himself in his den until a strange numbness had over taken him. He tried to reassure himself it was for the best. If his father's spirit was indeed in trouble then perhaps Jigsaw could assist him some how. However, that meant that Áskell was alone now. He'd lost the only family he'd ever known. Sure he had a number of Klein relatives but he wasn't particularly close to any.

A fit seized him and he took off towards the east. He just needed to get out of Habari, away from the memories and the misery that had happened there. He had been planning to meet his boyfriend some time before the world went to hell. Maybe now was a reasonable time? He wanted to at least see that Bog was ok.

As Áskell moved through the hot springs area he was surprised to catch Bog's scent. However, there was something off about the sent. Something musty, something moldy… something sickly. His heart started to race as he followed the scent. He arrived at the pools and a moment later he noticed Bog resting in one of the pools. He noted the strange glowing streaks in the water and bounded forward. "Bog! Bog are you ok? Please don't be dead." He slid down on his stomach reaching out to try and lick the top of Bog's head.
