Saoirse had already given up on his mother. When circumstances had all but drawn them together, he had spied her with a young one beside her. Perhaps that was it, the final push to sever what little remained of their bond. Whatever it had been, reduced to thin wisps released and swept further, and further away. Disappeared into the oblivion, into that black and deadly smoke biting at their ankles.
The boy felt hardened, like never before. Immune to his losses, but altogether filled with the fear that was Kaos; striking down the Gods and their children. Families perished and children mewled in terror. Even the adults – shook, and cried out for the ones they lost.
It was magnificent to see. To behold this power, to be so close to death – he could taste it on the air. Even Farah had perished among them, her body a figment of his imagination – sent an uneasy chill through the yearling’s body.
What was he to make of all of this? It was a nightmare; it was the demon that pushed them further into hell. There was no way to deny the monster their authority, for those who had, were no longer breathing in the ash.
The boy swept his head in the direction of the portal. He abandoned the sights behind him, the booming voice of the Earth God, and the Moon who trembled from the sheer weight of Kaos. They bled behind him, as he followed the spiraling crowds – packed and jostled between bellies and shoulders. With limbs that felt like air, and breaths that passed him too quickly.
He would survive. He would find his way, and no one would get in his way. With a frightful yelp, the boy felt the gravity of the light charge his body forwards. Eyes wide, the voices rushing with its force.
Goodbye sandy beaches, and fire burning sun rises. Farewell old pointy man, with his noodle and grungy old scarf. He would miss the church and its cool interiors, the call of the gulls, and the rush of the winds and sea.
Tears welled up at the edges of his eyes. Threatening to burst as he fell down the rabbit hole.
