They came his brothers, one by one they descended on their newest brother. Wilder came forward towards his newborn child and quickly proclaimed his name to be Darwin. Evers nodded silently to himself, it was a name that suited a brother, but he still couldn't shake the feeling of pity he saw when he looked upon the child. He noticed Kipp silently move to his side, his face unreadable as he watched. Evers knew there was something not quite right with this brother, Casimir had told him as much, but the matter would have to be addressed later as now was not the time for that. The last of the brothers assembled and all eyes were on the child who had been dragged into a world he may have been better off not knowing. There was something in the air too, the evil intent was almost palpable that Evers had to resist the itch to step back and wrinkle his nose. Deep, intelligent gaze rested finally on Mandrake for the last time in his life before ears snapped back when Knox shouted at him in a voice he really really didn't like the sound of.

"Take Darwin from this place"

That was all the release Evers needed and he ignored the urge to turn around and glare at Knox for shouting orders at him. Instead he cantered forward to the little brown child, whose face looked bewildered and confused, picking up his bucket of ingredients as he did so. No, he need not see this. "Come Darwin! Away from this place, I am your brother and I will protect you." He said quickly, but calmly to the child, not wanting to frighten him as he attempted to inspire trust. Hoping the colt was following he allowed himself one last look back to the murderous scene.

He wondered if Kipp and Casimir would do their part, Casimir particular, his younger brother always had a timid side. Did he have the stomach for this? Did Knox even care? Evers silently answered that question himself with a sad shake of his head before turning his attention back to the road ahead. There was one place he was already thinking of travelling to, it was time he ended the quest he had been on for what seemed like an age. He may have no physical fire, but he had Darwin, a child of the Heart who surely must count as a symbol. Father Earth never did specify anyway.

The blue took in a deep breath and hoped that the God would have an understanding nature.
