Mount Everfall your skin knew battle before it knew war

Always the question remained, the question Nero had no answer to: whose love in Icarus’ tale had been the mortal boy’s undoing? Had it been Icarus’ love for Apollo or was it the sun god’s love for Icarus? Whose fault had it been, truly? It is easy to say that Apollo had been Icarus undoing because he was immortal but Apollo had grieved intensely. It could be claimed that Icarus had been Apollo’s undoing for the sun god had forgotten that he would burn Icarus, that the boy could not handle him in all of his godly glory. Perhaps, Nero thinks, the blame is equally shared for their mistakes. For forgetting the nature of gods and men. It is easy for him to play arbitrator because he was not involved. He is merely meant to carry it upon his tongue and to the ears of those that would listen.

Besides now? This catches Nero’s attention and umbra ears cup forth atop his skull as with piqued interest but he tempers his question and bites lightly upon his tongue offering the titan a nod (though he is unsure if the action is caught by the other forgetting that they still linger in the darkening mouth of the cave) to keep the question from spilling forth as Darcia answers his initial inquiry. “That is not a bad thing,” Nero speaks in regards to Darcia admitting that he is not a dreamer. Dreamers tended to need grounded companions to tether them to the earth lest they get caught up in these dreams and are left to waste away as they forget that they are more than dreams. Nero contemplates if his type of dreaming is simply vanity or if he is a dreamer of the day: those that are dangerous because they would act upon it and make it possible.

He supposes that time will be more forthcoming with that answer.

“And what is it that you desire now?” The question feels dangerous as it passed from betwixt his lips but he is undeniably bewitched and intrigued; thus he feels compelled to unravel the mystery before him in a different way then he hopes to unravel Tacita’s presented mystery.
