It is over.
Still standing in the same spot, the smoke from the pyre floating around the cool air of the night, a sort of calm takes over, everything so quiet apart from the slight crackle of the fire as it dies down.
Holding him so close to my chest, he doesn't speak but I know he wants me here, knowing that this is only the beginning of the end, the others stand beside me, all so quiet, not knowing how things will be from now on.
After the valkyries had taken Manon's spirt and Odin back to Valhalla, the ravens gone with him and Leto's influence over the atmosphere had calmed, for a while as I held onto him with his back to me, his hands gripping my forearms, we just stood watching the pyre die down, Enzo and I still in our true forms.
Turning around in my arms, he looks up at me, the look in his eyes almost making my heart break, his eyes are so lost, still with a slight white ring around his beautiful brown eyes, slowly reaching up I place my hand on his cheek, stroking my thumb along his jaw, trying not to show him that I am afraid for him.
With his bottom lip quivering as if he is cold, his eyes become white once again, the gold specs in his hair sparkling more perfect than they were before, his wings spreading out around him, his skin shining out so bright it would blind a mundane, gripping my arm, he doesn't take his eyes off of my own.
Feeling my tail swish, it feeling strange to be in my natural form for so long, my brother at my back, he comes closer to us, moving to my side, turning my head to look at him, he is casting his eyes on my boy, in my brothers true form he seems different than I, looking him over I see his heart, it seems to be that he is in love, something that shines out so bright when a Halfdead is in their true form, and only another Halfdead can see it.
It is good that we are the only two of our kind known to exist, because I don't think he could trust anyone else other than me to see his vulnerable heart like this.
Ah, Tallulah is a lucky girl.
Concealing my smile, I turn my head back towards my boy, all amusement dissipates as I am greeted once again with his lost eyes, my heart tightening in my chest as he keeps on giving me that look, not knowing what else to do, I pull him towards my chest, immediately he buries his face in it, his hands gripping the back of my shirt, trying to stay strong for him.
Closing my eyes I feel around us in the dark, sensing Cairo sitting on the ground with Jay curled up tight sleeping in his lap, Tallulah is on her feet, pacing back and forth while somehow battling something internally, feeling her power radiating off of her like a neon symbol, the more she tries to hide it the more I can sense her not being a mundane.
Shaking my head, focusing on trying to connect with Cairo's mind, it being far easier to do so in this form, connecting with him, I feel his dead mind open like a deep wound.
