long time coming

Returning had been imminent. Somewhere in the back of his mind, Erebos had known that. When he had been at his worst, he had sought out his father against what he thought was his better judgment. He had released his anger for that moment, knowing that what he needed was his father's love. No one understood him better. He had run away again after, needing to fix his problems on his own, and had done fairly well. But without that little push from Deteste, he would've been lost.
He had only been back in Alacritia for a few weeks. Most of the time had been spent alone, except for the day he had encountered Loccian again. Her company had brought a fierce joy to him and some light had returned to his eyes. Sincec then, he had made a little progress getting back to his habits. He had begun bathing again, and had put some of his lost weight back on. He was beginning to look himself for the first time in months, but he still felt lacking of satisfaction. What Erebos needed was to thank his father for his help, to truly let go of the anger that still resided deep within him.
What it was that had drawn him here, he couldn't say, but once he reached the caves he could smell that Deteste had been here at least recently. He had come to the right place. Hesitantly he stepped inside and loosed a bark, summoning his father forth. He only hoped that now they could mend what had once been broken, but he would need answers to the questions he had kept close over the past two years first.
