all things are possible,
even the worst of things
Everything had happened so suddenly. The raid, the deaths and disappearances, the flood. He had won, but the victory had been so very hollow. He had returned to find the Deserts gone and his family scattered.
Ilka, Heartfire, Illum. All gone.
He had found her, thank the gods. His sweet Ilka. He didn't know what he would have done had he lost her. His heart had nearly shattered in his chest when he realized the danger he had inadvertently left her in, when he couldn't find her at first.
But she is here. Their children are safe. And she had brought their third child safely into the world. He had not left her side, could not bear the thought that he may have so foolishly put her in additional danger
But she is safe. They had come to the Rapids, seeking sanctuary. He had claimed it as his own. With luck, he would find the others. Would bring them here, to safety.
But for now, it is just his small family. He finds Ilka easily enough, and Augusta. Their daughter is growing so fast. A smile tugs at his lips as he wraps the black and white mare in a warm embrace.
”Ilka.” He breathes her name, happiness softening the sorrow on his features at the terrible events plaguing their past.
