Ankyra Sound Deliver us

the sound was not home anymore - not that it ever had been, and yet, ingram found himself revisiting the raw blue waves and the cold, littered shore. he had given up on discovering wylla at ankyra - both he and lycaon were at crossroads, shoring here until the weather cleared and they could resume their search further inland.

Ingram found many things vaguely familiar about the strand, yet did not expect Chusi to be one of them. his rendezvous with Lycaon was forgotten as he spotted the inky female in the dunes. she looked thinner than he remembered, and older too -- yet perhaps the same could be said for himself.

he stared in disbelief, frozen by both incredulity and a paralyzing flush of clammy nerves. he remained unaware of his brother's presence, his gaze transfixed on the figure he had never dared to dream he'd ever see again.
