GAUCHO
I'd bring you further roses but it does you no good.


Some things took longer than others to work out. For instance, it wasn't until precisely this moment - this one currently drifting past - that Gaucho realized the impact of his actions. He had thought that the only apology that he owed to the world was to the Earth God. He hadn't even though of the mother of the earthen child who was murdered, even though she was there. She was there. Looking back into the fog of his clouded thoughts everything seemed so clear, so unmistakably and obvious. How could he have missed it? How could he have been so selfish, especially when he had faulted Midas for precisely the same crime?

Ophelia had stood next to her sister. Her sister, the dark one with the blood pierced horn. It was Ktulu's son who died, not only the Earth's, and yet Gaucho only thought of the Constrictor as being the voice of reason - the one who had tried to talk Archibald down from demanding his blood.

Her son had been murdered, and her voice had still been reasonable. In his gut the knife that Midas' silence had pushed into him twisted tightly. Her son. Her real son, not just an adopted god-child, and she still managed to move her lips.

Looking at Ranjiri now the resemblance was completely obvious. Ranjiri's brother had been murdered on the Island.

And it had been Gaucho's body who had done the murdering.

"Jiji-" His normally solid and warm voice cracked, fizzling with emotion and sounding weaker somehow. His flaming wings spread gently from his sides, as if offering some sort of apology that had come far too late.

It was far too late.

"Gaucho ... Gaucho not know. Not ...realize-" Why was he bothering? There was nothing he could do now. Nothing he could say that would make up for it.

His blue eyes were large and apologetic, filled with concern and regret. It was true that whatever guilt he had felt had diminished slightly, especially after the Sun God had named him his champion. He wasn't in control, and the dun now firmly believed that actions out of ones control were committed blamelessly. However that did not justify his lack of concern and sympathy towards those his actions had wounded.

"Sorry."

His antlered skull dropped as well as a sigh fell from his lips.

"Astrasza." He answered softly after a minute. "She patrol too."
