"Talk" Walk

The rat's tone softened after Ignis admitted his fault and regret, and the crimson wolf fell silent. He didn't know how this rat knew anything about him...perhaps the little creature had lived around the pines at the time, or maybe it was once someone's companion when Winterfell once stood...he wasn't sure. At least, not until the rodent told him he was once a member of Winterfell when Acere led. Felicien...that name was vaguely familiar, but Ignis wasn't wholly familiar with the male. One of the elders, he was sure. He did vaguely remember Avalon and her mate, their latest litter witnesses to his crimes before the pack disbanded.

He had no idea how he was speaking to him through another creature, and the idea of it bewildered him, but it was quickly overshadowed as he thought about Feli's words. Maybe one day he'd be forgiven if he tried to do right...but how would he even go about doing that? He'd fallen too far into the pits, he was sure. His pups sure to follow soon enough if he didn't get his shit together. But the Demon made it hard to stay on the right path..."As much as I want to believe you...my ill mind makes it difficult. I don't know how Acere overcame his demons...but I wish now more than ever that he was here...still...alive...still breathing..." He sat back, a heavy sigh leaving him. "Do you see him where you are? I know our blood is cursed...but I must admit, I do hope he's somewhere other than Hell."
