fifteen years since he had gotten to see both of his baby sisters. fifteen years since he had gotten to speak with them, laugh with them. and there was not a day that went by where he didn't miss them.
but this was for the best. the gods would know that and see the sacrifice he was making for them by staying away. right now he could stay far enough away from ingrid he could keep that sacrifice going for them. erik just needed to know that she was going to be okay. and it seemed completely foolish to be walking through the woods at night, alone, with the rumors of monsters around.
erik knew he could stay farther away and keep an eye on her but he wanted to be closer. he wanted to see her after all these years. see how she had changed and looked now. did she have a husband? a family? was she happy at least? he wish he could know. but for now he had to be the shadow in the woods following his sister.
