He isn’t sure if he’s following his shadow, or if he’s following the lure of the pool.
Both are a siren to him, drawing him out of the shadows and into the light the strange water casts. There’s a peculiarly hungry glint in his eyes; they seem to have been turned from green to gold tonight, and everything he sees is brilliantly gilded.
And he is no exception; he casts off his ring, and his body shimmers suddenly into being beside his twin. Finally visible, he steps forward alongside Toulouse, and together they inspect the rocky ground and smoky waters. It calls to him; he years to drink from it, to see for himself what powers it might hold.
He doesn’t say a word; he only waits. He never had been the decision maker of the two.
But when Toulouse looks at him, he sees his own hunger mirrored in his twins eyes. He dips his head in a nod, a silent agreement.
The water is cool and hot on his tongue, and it tastes like gold.
