No.
No.
It happened again. He could feel it- the loss of time, he felt like he had aged and his bones hurt like he'd been still as a stature for god knows how long. When he awoke, the Everfrost was empty. He searched wildly to catch a single scent but, it was as if the snow had blown over every trail and melted away any sign of their existence.
He screamed into the frozen woods. He screamed her name hoping she would respond but only deafening silence came back to him. And where were his children? With her, hopefully, for he was a man quickly crumbling under the weight of loss. The wound left open and bleeding for not even a sign of their bodies would bring him closure to what had happened to them.
Erebus could feel it, the swelling feeling in his eyes that threatened to make him cry. He had tried all his best efforts not to but, before he could stop it a deep breath broke the flood gates. He poured himself out into the snow where he fell like a landslide, all in one swoop into the cold ground.
He had finally gotten what he wanted. A loving mate, children of his own, and a kingdom to build. Why did the moon steal them away from him so soon? What had he done wrong to earn her displeasure, her punishment.
The man had washed away into the snow, lying there hopeless until the moon rose high to stare down at him. It gazed like a giant eye in her silvery essence, without words or any sign of understanding. The man's expression changed from woe to hatred, the tears now dry to reveal the burning wrath within. His orange eyes would glare back at her, like she had come down and taken his mate and children herself.
Were they now part of the stars that littered the sky? Stolen from him to be decorations for her.
