He had no idea how or when he'd made it out of the Keep, how he'd gotten passed the Hounds and Xhlëndïr and Oiki, but somehow he had. Somehow he'd made it almost back to the camp when he felt it like a fire wind. When the Wrongness hit the Worlds with earth quaking strength …

He groaned as awareness rushed back in. He didn't know where he was, only that the ambient magick felt similar to what surrounded Rhyshladlyn but he knew that couldn't be right. He hadn't been near his little brother in a week at the least. "You're awake." It wasn't a question but rather a mere statement …

He was so sick of being lied to. Tired of it on a level that there were no words for. Sick of opening himself up. Of trusting those around him only to find out that it was all for nothing. Only to find out that for all that he gave everything, he only ever received …

The two-way mirror buzzed on his cot, making him jump at the unexpected noise. He looked out the doorway to see Rhyshladlyn was still moving through his warm-ups before he started sparring, Nhulynolyn moving through his own warm ups beside him, while Bayls sat on a rock beside the morning cook-fire watching them both. The …

He wished it didn't hurt so much. That he didn't feel so... so betrayed. Because he hadn't lied. Hadn't hidden anything. He was just as he had ever been: open and honest and sincere. Sure those of his kind in the Grey Army had come to him after the Ildir had been killed, told him that they'd felt …

About the only good thing about being in Sanctuary was that Xitlali was too busy with Hujiel and their super secret jars of whatever the fuck to focus on Eiod's comings and goings. Well that and Jerald got a well deserved reprieve. He checked in on the Alphenian as often as he could when he …
