Mount Apikuni ﹌ tskow’aya

tey'gan's heart swelled at the sight of his brother, whole and standing before him. a piece of his world, a part of his soul, returned. he held ro'nak tight in their embrace, the weight of time and worry pressing between them, before stepping back, his grip lingering on his brother’s shoulders.
yes, he admitted, though it pained him. we are still lost from them. but you have found me, and we will find them together. his voice was steady, but beneath it was the quiet strain of responsibility, of knowing that he had yet to reunite all the scattered pieces.
his gaze shifted to skuka, catching the tension in her frame, the way she moved behind him, watchful. of course. ro’nak had arrived with all the force of a crashing wave, and she did not yet know him.
how rude of me— tey’gan said, exhaling lightly as he turned toward her. he gestured with a nod. this is skuka. of ukyomrai, daughter of aymang. his golden eyes found ro’nak’s again, the warmth of their reunion not yet fading. skuka, this is my brother. ro’nak.
he stepped slightly aside, bridging them together, hoping to ease whatever uncertainty remained between them. we are together now. that is what matters.
