Zacherye stepped from the mists, the rune that he'd obtained to bring him here faded to a mere pulse in his chest pocket. If his heart beat, it might be pounding wildly in his chest. As it was, he felt the cold fingers of fear clutching at his mind. What was he doing? Should he be here? He didn't think so but he really was out of options and the talk with Syndel had made him see that perhaps hiding from his past and his siblings might simply be the worst decision of his life. Or unlife as it were.
Unlife. It was a strange term really to describe his existence. Caught between two worlds, afraid of one but unable to return to the other. He lifted his eyes heavenward, the beast inside him quivered. The sun overhead was a strange thing too. If it were not for the talisman he'd borrowed from his sire, he would be a smoking, screaming pile of ash within moments. He swallowed the rush of anxiety that imagery caused and took a step forward.
He knew he was closer to his family than he'd ever really consciously been and now that he was so near, he wanted to cross the distance quickly. Only will kept him from running. He steadied himself with effort and started off in the most logical direction he could fathom. Perhaps by nightfall he would be with his siblings.
