Brothers

      Every town has a tavern and every tavern is filled with torture souls. The overwhelming smell of smoke and alcohol loomed over the place. Everywhere people drank and laugh, a smog of smoke made it cloudy inside. A male sat over at counter, tall and dark. His long obsidian colored hair draped over his shoulders, his  slender fingers grasp around a horn mug. Bringing it up to his porcelain lips, the dark thick red liquid slide past.Lightly staining them some, his ear flickered to the sound of the door opening.

A finely dressed male walks in, gazing through the haze of smoke and makes his way to the counter. Reaching out, he set his hand upon the dark males shoulder. Leaning in he'd whisper "I need to speak with you outside, preferably outside the city." the dark male turns, glancing with his red hues at the finely dress man. "ok?" his brow slightly elevated.

They'd leave the tavern and head towards the forest outside the city. Once they reached where they want needed to, the dark male turn to the other and says "What do you want now Voltaire? What come to cash in a favor or to make my life a little more miserable..hmmm?" Voltaire looked away, pacing slightly.

"I...I don't know how to put this." Taking a deep breath, turns to face the dark male "Gabriel.... your...your brother is dead. I don't know what happen, I mean I just...I just couldn't stop him." Gabriel eyes glowed abit as he says "Excuse me...my..my brothers dead. How? Why? What happen, how could you let this happen.You...YOU WHERE SUPPOSE TO PROTECT HIM!"

Voltaire look down "You know how he gets, I mean they didn't leave us with much choice.I begged him to let me make the sacrifice.." Gabriel cut him off "YOU BEGGED.. you should have stopped him and die, atleast then we be rid of you.I knew you be the death of him..."

Voltaire right hook Gabriel's jaw, sending him to the ground. He then spoke in a stern angered tone "Don't you DARE accuse me. I did everything I could, but you and I both know how stubborn he can be. HE WAS ALL I HAD IN THIS WORLD, SO DON'T THINK...DON'T YOU EVER THINK THAT I WANTED THIS!"

Gabriel rubbed his jaw "He was my brother..." before Voltaire went into another fit "HE WAS MORE MY BROTHER THEN EVER YOURS! He and Seph where my family, she died I couldn't save her and now he's gone....they were more my family then yours. Hell you never even paid attention to him when he fought int he wars, now you all of the sudden want to be brother to him!"

Gabriel slowly stood up and tried to make eye contact with Voltaire, his upper lip twitched slightly. Voltaire of course did make the contact, feeling Gabriel try to enter his mind. "Really? Your going to try and attack my mind, MINE!" Being stronger, he shoved Gabriel out.

Gabriel stumbles back some, growling in anger. Though Voltaire ended that when he let tendrils extend out of his back. Gabriel had this fear of tendrils and backed away further from Voltaire, saying "Look just..just put those things away.Just put them up and leave, you told me what you wanted so leave me alone."

Voltaire look down some "I can't go back, the elves are hunting me, your father has banished me.I.. I really don't have anywhere to go, unlike you I don't have any family. Atleast you still have a father." Gabriel rose a brow "heh, ya my father, having him...can't have him around when he is to busy with the masses." Voltaire rolled his eyes "You sound like a spoiled brat, he's a ruler.Its kinda what they do."

Gabriel growled some "DON'T CALL ME THAT! My...my brother always said that. I'm not spoiled....I mean I am but I am trying not to be." folding his arms. Voltaire withdrew his tendrils "Well I..will leave you be." turn to walk away. Gabriel would speak up "Wait....I...I don't want to be alone either. I mean I don't plan on going back home anytime soon, if not, not at all."

Voltaire rose a brow "Oh what you think we're gonna be all buddy buddy?" Gabriel shook his head "no but never mind just go.."
Voltaire smirked "I might be around, especially if you go all dark.Ya I know about it, you do so and I will put seals on you. Your brother is not here anymore to protect you."
Gabriel rolled his eyes "I won't go dark...sheesh. I...I miss him though. I...I can't believe he is dead."
Voltaire moves to pat his shoulder "I know I miss him too, but now I have to pick up his job. I was going to extend a hand to you, if you too wanted to help me."

Gabriel stared at Voltaire for a long time "You..You want me to help you?But..but I ruin everything."
Voltaire chuckles "No.You might make mistakes, but I can tell you can do right. You just got to believe in yourself Gabe. Besides your brother screwed up lots of times, messed alot of things up."

Gabriel tilted his head "He did? Well...umm ya I guess I will come with you." Voltaire grinned slightly "Well then lets go, we got alot of work to do."
