Ravensblood Forest seraphim weeping

Malakai had never left his island home before. Now he was doing so and to his dismay, without his twin brother at his side. @Judah was supposed to be with him. They were supposed to be strong, together, on this venture, to speak, share and spread the word of God. They had agreed at the meeting. Now, Malakai's eyes turn into the direction of his home though it was too far to see now. The sound of the ocean waves for the first time no longer present in the backdrop. 

They followed the river inland. Beyond the open stretch of land, they came to a dark forest tucked between two mountains- landmarks far taller and wider then anything on the island. The forest was a place where God's light seemed not to touch. Mother wanted to have them rest here? 

His head lifts and turns, towards Heda and his face revealing much reluctance at the idea. Malakai instinctively awaited for his sister to start crying about it. She had not paid him any mind all the while, which was good to him. He didn't like her. She didn't like him. Kai smelt her weakness and his lack of pretending otherwise likely put her off. 

Dinah asked for a hug. One of the spawns of evil growled at her. Another stared in wonder. Both silent, as always. Malakai swept his eyes over at Simeon and he shrugged. Simeon was okay, he guessed, but obviously wasn't Judah. Sighing, yet head still high as best he could, he turned to his mother then. I can take first watch. He was young, sure, but they were in strange lands now- mainland. It was his duty now to look over God's flock, however dim in the head they were.
