Only the heaven moved the stars, but they did not belong up there, resting against the immerse velvet roof. It was no surprise to anyone that the young male ached for the familiarity of the safe caves, inside a territory that they no longer belonged to. Why? What was so much better with this place? The boy would always insist that he had been forced out of Anathema, but if his family had let him be and walked away without him he would always follow. They were more important than the darkness. Nights were brighter now as the world turned warmer, but deep shadows could always be found by those who searched for them. He knew that the seasons took turns, and one day the night alone would again have the strength to fully embrace him.
There were changes he liked, and his fathers words had proved true once and for all. Pandemic was chained to earth, and the two other gods would protect him from Tak, though he was not all that easy to scare anymore. Nothing bad had ever happened in the darkness, and he had reached the conclusion that it was foolish to fear something that could simply be a story. His father firmly believed, but Pan had never seen these gods that he spoke of. As long as Salvia remained by his side, it couldn’t be all that bad to belong to Tak. The god never demanded anything from him anyway, if he even existed. For darkness was something the young D’Angelo adored, but it was always empty.
Trees loomed tall above the oversized child as he slowly made his way through the forest nearby his home, following a withering trace of some family member that he could not pin a face to just yet. He was a rather shy boy and not a very social butterfly either. He preferred silence and those he knew well and even amongst those he failed to be the life of the party. He had yet to discover the entirety of his new home. He preferred to stay close to his parents and his one remaining sibling. But he could explore a little on his own, at least.
