yet my blood renders me a King
Sah narrowed his eyes, ready to refute Talyson's statement when the courier finally picked up on what he had spotted. Without removing his eyes from where they were, the hybrid hummed, "Not sure. He's too young to be alone." How he knew that when he couldn't see the exact shape of the creature like Talyson, he didn't know. Sah didn't question it.
Just after he spoke, his mind was filled with images of what could only be a void-infected land shark attack a shadowfang pack. The hybrid cursed under his breath, "His pack was taken out by an abyssal leviathan." Dropping to one knee and holding out a hand, Sah crooned at the scared pup. "I know, pup. It's a lot, isn't it?" The images floating in his mind made the hybrid's heart crack. "Come here."
The small shadowfang solidified and stared unblinking at the two men for two, three heartbeats. And then he was sprinting forward and slamming full force into the hybrid's waiting arms. The impact knocked the air out of Sah's lungs, and it was only his other hand slamming into the ground behind him that stopped the hybrid from falling onto his back.
Letting out a wheezing laugh, Sah fully embraced the small canine, resting his chin on the pup's head. "Gods, pup. You're stronger than you look." Running a gentle hand along the shadowfang's trembling back, Sha glanced up at Talyson. "Lilly will be ecstatic, but how mad do you think Pad will be to have a new younger brother?"
