sharksHe knew he ought to explore the rest of the areas eventually, but he found that he didn't really want to see what the other packs were up to. Dahlia de Mai and Inferni were at war. Part of him still felt guilty that he had not stormed the wolf pack as soon as he discovered that they had taken his niece, but the rest of him knew somehow that it wouldn't have done any good. Even if he did manage to save Talitha somehow without getting the both of them killed, then what? The war would not end like that, but he didn't know how else it might either. So he had wandered away from them both, sort of. For the while, he would trust that Gabriel would take care of things like he'd always done. Even if he had been the one to start the fire, he had gotten the family out safely, hadn't he?
sharksThe last several days had been depressingly aimless, and the rain hadn't helped much either. For a while, he thought he'd stumbled into areas that his father had been in as recently as a week ago, but the water made scents more difficult to pick out. He thought he was glad to know that the man was still alive, but the idea that a monster lurked in him somewhere still scared him. For a while, he had thought that maybe his brother had lied to him about that, but Laruku had admitted it himself, so that couldn't be the case. Dragging a damp, heavy cloak, Arkham gravitated automatically towards the cabin when he saw it. Such shelter was a hard thing to find in the middle of the forest; he wondered who had built it so long ago? And why? The door was open and he stepped inside, shaking his head a bit. His hands had reached halfway up to remove the cloth covering his face, but then he spotted the woman that was already there.
