Dreams were harder and harder to come by these days. With the departure of half his family from their home, it was hard to stay relatively calm and peaceful within his mind. So when his father's voice reached him, attempting to wake him from his slumber, the boy readily obliged. Alric followed Hexx as if he was an idol, keeping close so that he may be in his divine protection. What are we going to do today? A question to his father that was an attempt to distract his fast working mind.

The sight of his obsidian brother calmed him somewhat. Raizel always seemed to be on side of logic and reason then the others, seemingly taking after their father. But there was a coldness to him that Alric wasn't quite sure of yet. At least that's how it seemed to such a young pup. In any case, the pup split of sunshine and darkness kept close. An ear flicked at his brother's comment. When's Momma coming back, Papa? Oh how he hated them being apart. He missed them so.
