The wide world

The territory of the Hallows now stood right near the land bridge that lead to Boreas... Emile had only stepped on Boreas a scant few times since he'd been a child. It was technically the place he'd been born but Auster felt more like home than Boreas ever had, he had been born there but the Hallows had moved south across the bridge when he'd still just a child... Boreas was the last place he'd seen his mother and sister. It was where his scattering family had disappeared too...

It felt like something was stopping him from being able to cross, and not just the feeling of guilt he'd have about shirking his duties but it was like a force was pushing him back. Painful memories were over there... Painful memories were here too but better the devil you know... Not to mention he didn't really want to force his family to have to deal with him anymore, if they'd left they deserved their emancipation from him. Emile stared out at the continent. It felt like an alien world, wolves he knew were out there but he couldn't see them. Didn't deserve to.

But still, he stared, he didn't know why... He just... Did.
