if i never saw you again

Noir didn’t know how he felt, it was an odd juxtaposition compared to the evening he spent in the hot springs a day ago. His father was dead. He hadn’t spared the old man much thought in a long time, his memory had always frustrated him unreasonably so. Rhyme was also the one who had always put the most belief in him. He could tell that Shaye had given up, Odysseus tried and his efforts were obviously not devoted like his sire. Rhyme was the only one who hadn’t given up on him, even at the very last moment when the volcano erupted.

He found that he hated knowing his father was not the immortal he’d once thought. He was weak and falliable as Noir had always though. However much satisfaction he should have from this revelation turned to disappointment.

Noir still didn’t really care about Abaven or the lives of relatives he’d left. Yet stunned as he was an odd word fell from his lips. ”Tell me.” He told her as his gaze trailed out over the horizon and for the first time in his life felt his heart grow heavy.
