mysterious carnelian

Akh had truly receded into herself after the trauma of losing their home and losing their family. Almost to the point of no return, but thanks to the two badgers at her side she had been able to recover and even flourish as a young woman. Now it seemed was the time to integrate back into wolf society, whatever that would look like. Akhlut knew that was what would be best for her but the challenge was daunting until she looked at her brother. He made her believe that anything was possible. He would be there for her, even if he was here in this awful place.

He led the way forward and Akh kept close to him, afraid if she strayed too far that Medusa would appear and tear her away from Enki. Eventually the pair of them appeared at an absolute feast without any incident and akh started to relax as she was offered food. Akh hadn’t had real food in a very long time. She had been living off of a badger diet for a very long time now. The dried fruits, smoked meats, the fresh cuts, she could hardly believe her eyes.

She began to nibble happily on the offered food as they settled down, and she said nothing as she savored every bite. Then Enki was talking once more, his voice was soft but his words were cutting. She slowed herself as blue and lavender eyes lifted to his face. Did she know about their mother?

How could she forget? The moment the messenger came to tell them she would never lose that memory. How their father had practically abandoned them at the news. ”That she’s dead? yeah… She looked away, feeling the emotions rush to her features as she spoke.
