Andarin: The Mountains: to all that i have left; lycoris and hesper

They travel together, through the darkness of the night as storm clouds pregnant and wrathful threaten them above the peak of the mountains. The Warden set at the head of the small pack with Nimir-raj in tow. As always the black leopard follows, darker spots rimming the midnight of his coat, his yellow eyes piercing as his large head looks behind him at three of the five children Micah had thrown since his life in Legend.

Micah remembers as he always remembers his past. The youthful stallion, cautious and timid one he can here as. Having nothing of his own but himself. Each woman passing though his life, each friend, each lover none he could ever forget. But he has his children now, Rowan gone into the darkness never again for him to see his grey ghost. But Epos, she will always be her memory, Ryan and Thomas his two seer twins he never knew he had. Elemmires children, his only boys. Fear has always gutted him as Sarai his and Aians child will never truly know him, only as an abandoner, like his mother, he never met to hurt her. But Hesper, his last daughter, he had only met her once before he disappeared into the vacant forests of Desreal. She born with another, whom died and he was the one who had to bury it beneath the earth.

His heart aches because it is all he knows, living among his past and his memories never willing to move on. It hurts him.

But now they travel, as they have been from the forests to watch and tangle beneath the threads of life. Forgetting so many faces and remembering even fewer. But he has to say goodbye to her, before he leves forever to start over, to rebuild.

The end is near, his twins fore told it, it is within the Element as it is corrupted.

“Lycoris, please.“ His whispers to the trees and his air carries it across the forests and mountain peaks, carried upon each leaf, each branch, he sighs. “You need to know, I love you, im sorry I never told you this before you stuck by me even when Rowan never did, you gave me hope, you gave me Hesper and I left both of you, I left you as I have so many others, I left Hesper like I did my other children. The element is corrupting, it is poisoned, Ryan and Thomas my twins, an Epos one of my many daughters will be leaving. I hope to see you someday, I will never forget you, how could I? I love you Lycrois, makes sure Hesper knows I would of always loved her too.“ And with that The Warden, his companion, and his children travel through the darkness of the night towards storms and rain showers to find new hope new life, elsewhere.

deception is charming,
liar, condescender, words born as bastards.
