Love Is Never Forgotten

Tatsuya had absolutely no idea where he was, but honestly he didn’t care. After being faced with red-head after red-head, question after question, and his brother nearly getting killed because of him, he had just got up and left. Not a note was left or anything. Uncaring honestly if there was even vicious and feral creatures around him, honestly, if they did tear him apart, it would mean at least he would get to be with her in the next life.
However, the growling from the trees silenced as a cabin came into view. Inside, he could sense a young soul, a demon, and a familiar. “... Fantastic.” He had found another god. Just lovely.
“... and so that’s why I need your help finding him.” Sho had just been explaining to Anubis and Yue that his brother, Tatsuya, was missing, and Rei was losing his head over the fact he was very very unstable and he couldn’t risk leaving the bar unattended.
Ever since their move, things had been quiet and relaxing. Sho traveled from realm to realm, gathering wisdom and meeting new friends. He had just recently been in Asgard and had made friends with a fellow fire user named Loki. While the Asgardians had been surprised to see such a revered creature in their midst, the fact he was so casual set them at ease, and he got along fairly easily with Loki as a result.
“So... you want us to help you find your brother that nearly killed you?” Anubis asked bluntly, swirling his drink around.
“Yep on all accounts.” Sho sipped at his juice box, shrugging. “He may have tried to kill me, but he’s still my brother. He raised me without complaint, straightened me out when I fucked up and taught me how to survive. If he honestly wanted me dead, he would have killed me by now.” He paused. “He just misses his wife and children. He wants to find them, I guess, but he knows deep down it’s impossible to bring the dead back to life.”
Anubis said nothing, because he knew that wasn’t exactly true. Hecate had made it possible. Finding the soul and simply reconstructing the body was all it took -- yet she didn’t bother making her daughter, Asteria, into such a way, and he had heard rumors she kept Asteria’s soul in a confined space where only she could access it... yeah, lots of things were floating around now -- and with all the coronations happening back to back to back, it didn’t help that tension was running high.
First Amaterasu, then Thor, and soon Horus, and then after that Apollon. Tian’s dragon clan had Bolin now as it’s patriarch. Ah Puch and Ixtab had taken over in Xilbalba since their journey had taken them there, and there was no telling what laid for them in Otherworld and Anunnaki.
Anubis sighed, but he looked to Yue. “... it’s up to you.”
