Deimos the Reaper We can watch the world devoured in its pain
Flames poured into life, death flickered and flared into sentience, ash and soot and embers coiled and curled into one massive, lingering frame: one he’d always cherished, one he’d always remembered, one he’d always craved. He watched, eyes widened, stony mask tossed and forgotten, gaping and staring as his sire, torched and scorched and gone from his life so many seasons ago, returned in a violent, vehement volcano. Not entirely whole, not entirely the beast set upon the moonlit tides, but enough to reflect, enough to rejoice, enough to love. The son, with his enamored silence, with his muted, entranced form, absorbed and studied and examined, tried to piece together the how, the why, the ways in which the Firesword had returned, until the fathoms were too much, and he took to just gazing again. There were so many things to say, so many words he itched and clambered for, so many assurances and hopes and aspirations fueled by desire to reach his father, incensed by the failures of long ago, contorted and contained by the oaths, by the assurances, by the creeds Ignatius had taught him while they stole across sands, while they feasted on hate, while they balanced and nestled on familial pursuits. But all that tumbled from his gaping mouth were quiet, boyish whispers, captured and bottled, seized and possessed, a scion bowing before his predecessor, a child’s heart beating in wonder and inspiration. “I have missed you.” The Reaper took careful steps forward, not striving to touch, to embrace, to hold (because what if the necromancy sought betrayal, and aimed to annihilate all over again?), but to bask in the glow of his parent’s might, of his protection, of his guidance, of his wisdom and power and everything else in between – just to remain, chiseled in the warmth, the fire, of ages lost and cretins slain.
