Anden
The Sun and the Moon
In an endless game of hide and seek
Anden never thought of the other ascended as family. He'd only really met Bastien and Nate until now. While both were kind to him, neither was family. The connection he had with his fellow ascended wasn't nearly as strong as that he shared with Aisha, Dani or even Oliver. The idea that all ascended were his family, well it brought a slight chuckle to his lips. If they were his family then where have they been this entire time.
"Every family needs a black sheep." It wasn't a role uncommon to him. Even before, he spent most of his time alone or with his twin. It was only when he arrived in Caido that started to feel like he was part of something bigger, something more - but not because of the fluid that ran through his veins, but because of the family he chose for himself.
Anden knew he wasn't being the most hospitable, but it felt right to defy Wessex. Ever since he arrived in Caido he was trying to figure out why him. Why did the Voice take him away from his life. He understood why she changed his form, making him stronger - something he always wanted. He wanted to be able to protect those he cared for... But he was taken from the people he cared for when he arrived in Caido. He spent a season trying to find the answers to his questions. Standing in front of him was the answer key. If he wanted answers he could have them.
Wessex was from what he gathered the closest thing to the Voice's second. Yet she spoke of a war. A war she didn't want... But if the Voice, if Wessex didn't want war why was he brought here? "It's not you I have a problem with. It's the idea that I'll need to fight for the ascended in a potential war I had no part in creating." If the people of Caido wanted to bring a fight to the Grounds, to the Ascended, he had no plan on staying to watch it play out.
