[color=Forestgreen]"So you see brother that is why I cannot let you go...."[/color]
Vanasi had taken his little brother to a place he knew he'd feel at ease. They were sitting at the edge of the forest, underneath a flat peach tree. The serious conversation he'd planned for days was now finally over. It was a weight of off his shoulders. It was difficult for him to be harsh with Ilan, but Vanasi knew he would see the sense in this decision. As naive as he sometimes appeared to be Ilan also possessed a wisdom beyond his years. 

Ilan hadn't said anything yet. Emotions of all kind were welling up inside him. Sadness about leaving his new friends behind, wistful for the ones he would never meet and finally trepidation to return to an empty house with the memories of his grandmother in every room. Vanasi was caught by surprise when a tear spilled down the freckled face of Ilan. His usual wonderfilled jade eyes, turned sad and pained. He sobbed quietly and pulled up his legs to his chest, leaning his face on his knees. He stared of into his own world. 

Vanasi let him be, with great effort he had to make himself stay where he was. This only confirmed to him Ilan was far from ready to be involved in a gruesome war. It would crush what remained of his already pained spirit. If it were up to him he would be far far away from all this. It pained him to see him like this, but better to be safe. Time would sooth his wounds. 

After a while his sobs quietted down and Ilan suddenly realized how tired he felt. It was like he'd been holding it back for a long time. He sighed deeply and wiped the remaining tears from his face, his eyes red and puffy. He knew that after the war eventually everyone would go their seperate ways, returning to the places they came from. Both Avalians and humans. He didn't want to leave without saying goodbye, but at the same time he felt like he couldn't face them. Part of him felt like he was abandoning them. So instead he wrote each a letter, to share the things he would have said. 

It calmed him down, and after a while of writing down his thoughts the tears stopped coming. He'd made his peace for now. 
He folded them carefully into a shape resembling a flower. He got up from the grass and handed the letters to Vanasi.

He said tearfully, his voice slightly unsteady. 

He clasped his hands around Ilan's smaller ones.
[color=Forestgreen]"Be safe and stay kind"[/color]

Vanasi watched the shape of his younger brother Ilan wane in the distance, he kept looking until he could not see him anymore. It was the right thing to do. Even if he wouldn't make it out alive, he'd kept his promise to grandmother. Ilan was safe.
