It meant he would be okay - they would be okay. The guilt remained but it only joined the rest of the things that kept him up at night when everything else stilled around them. The screams, though, they never left. A constant cacophony of agony and a steady source of torment for being the guardian of the underworld. He wondered often why he suffered such a fate and his siblings did not. What wrongs did he commit in his origin to deserve such pain?

He gave Ros a significant look as he wrapped an arm around him and led him to the bath chambers and the huge claw foot tub. A favorite center piece of his and the ancient looking facets were beautiful and inlaid with gems of all kinds. ]
