The Good Ol' Days

*Epiphron* · 03-20-2015, 06:23 AM

Though Epiphron hadn't necessarily been running from her past, she had escaped most of it -- except for her children, most of whom who she had sought out on purpose. The dissolution of Valhalla, her sister's maiming, the death of her brother, the betrayal of her husband; she'd tried so hard to forget all of these things, for it felt like everyone had gone, and suddenly it all came back to her with raging force. Through the pain, though, she managed to smile. Surreal's presence was a glimmer of hope, a beacon of light in the darkest of rooms, and her tail would continue to wag behind her as she spoke.

Surreal stated she'd met Arian. That was likely before she'd been held as a prisoner and mistreated; so much had changed even since then. She drank in Surreal's words, putting the names of her children to memory so as to not forget them. "Yearlings already," she'd muse, sounding a bit surprised. Was Surreal not just a child herself so recently? And yet her children would be a year old soon. The mention of her mate, being taken by Arcanum, was a strange thing too. And not just that, but they'd taken claim of her former home, the very place where her father was buried still. "I've only heard bad things about Arcanum," she'd comment with a slight wrinkle of her nose. "I've allowed my two best fighters to travel with a pack called Ebony to fight them. I believe they intend to destroy the pack, if at all possible." Epiphron knew little more than that, but it seems their track record of abhorrent deeds was only growing longer, and knowing that they had mistreated Surreal's mate only further solidified her decision to allow them to accompany Ebony in battle.

It seemed Surreal had gone through quite a bit. "If all goes well, they will pay for their crimes," she stated with confidence, moving forward finally to embrace Surreal by wrapping her head around the other woman's neck. A breath of relief, in her adoptive sister's familiar scent as they embraced, would escape her mouth, though she couldn't help but pull away a moment later. "Where is Erani?" she'd ask, a burning question she couldn't withhold -- why was she not here, now?
