Unspoken

~Chapter 11~

"It's all machilley fault." Thalleous said plainly and Aegus furrowed his eyebrows as the Sendaris paced back and forth quickly, his feet hitting the ground quickly so fast that he seemed to reach each end of the room quicker than Aegus could process and it just added to the fact that his brain had stopped working once he was informed that his only daughter was dead and her body was with the Voltaris or abandoned in the snow.

"Thal. It's really not, she was flung in front of your sword from the looks of it and you were trying to do something good." Achillean assured him, gently swishing his tail despite the fact that he felt sick to his stomach. His sister, the one he was worried would die, died. She was dead, and he didn't even get to tell her how much he cared about her before she died... I'm an awful brother... His thoughts rang in his head as Aegus stared at the ground, a few tears falling off his chin.

"She's gone... just like her mother..." He said softly then dropped to his knees causing everyone in the room to look towards him. "She's gone... my only daughter..."

Achillean immediately came to his father's aid, helping him up as Aegus sobbed into his son's shoulder.

"Father... it's not Thalleous's fault, he tried to go back for her." Achillean whispered softly and felt Aegus hold him closer.

"I know but she's GONE she's gone! We'll never see her again... never!" He started sobbing and hugged Achillean closer as Thalleous drowned in guilt.

Addy swished her tail gently as her and Ingressus sat by the river, the water running along their bare feet. She watched a fish swim over her foot and moved closer to Ingressus until she was pressed tightly against his side.

"I miss my family..." She said softly and felt Ingressus wrap his tail around hers.

"I know and I understand that you need to go back to them, they'll be worried sick, but for now we have wedding planning to do." He said and took her hand, squeezing tightly. She looked towards him and smiled softly.

"I know but I want to keep my feet in the water for just a little bit longer..." She said and ran her toes along the top of the water. Ingressus nodded then leaned his head on her shoulder. She smiled again and reached down, cupping a fish in her hands and kissing it then putting it back into the water and watching it swim off.

"Are you nervous?" She asked and felt Ingressus squeeze her hand.

"No... there's nothing to be nervous about, marriage is a good thing my love." He whispered and ran his thumb down her palm and kissed her neck.

"I know I just don't know what to think about my clan now..." She said softly and he lifted his head then kissed her cheek.

"Why would you not know what to think about your clan?" He asked and furrowed his eyebrows with concern.

"Well we're killing your clan!" She pointed out and waved her arms around before sighing as Ingressus wrapped his arms around her.

"As your husband I don't think your clan is bad... they're just confused..." He assured her and squeezed her hand then leaned down and kissed her.

"It'll all be ok."
