i sold my soul to the open road

[Apollo Haddix]

we prey as wolves among the sheep
and slit the necks of soldiers while they sleep

It was the next day, but Apollo had made it to AniWaya. After what Savina had told him, he knew that he had to go and visit Pilot. Surely the old man wasn’t alright. He couldn’t believe that Pilot had spent months among those dirty coyotes of Inferni. And what Hybrid did... it was unspeakable. Even though he and his father didn’t have the best relationship, of course he felt pained for Pilot. No one should have to suffer what he must have.

He had never been to AniWaya, but he found the borders rather easily. He didn’t bother to stay at the borders and call for Pilot, and instead pushed through and searched for the scent. It was faint, but when he finally found it, Apollo trailed his lead towards his father.

"Pilot," he breathed, spotting his father outside of a den with furs in his arms. "Dad," he said instead, taking steps further towards him. He didn’t care that Pilot’s arms were full, but wrapped his arms around him and pulled him into an embrace.
