It'd been weeks since Therian had set foot in to his own home -- weeks, though it felt like years, if not decades. When the man came through the doors, he was by his lonesome, tired and weak and stripped of everything but the rags on his back. Since the occupation of their once-great city, Therian hadn't seen his wife at all. He'd been a prisoner to the humans, forced to rot in the dungeons of Sylvos -- the dungeons that'd formerly housed criminals and traitors... now it was home to soldiers and innocent men.
Therian looked worse for wear. His body was still strong, as was his will. They hadn't managed to break him. But he looked tired, his once-warm and friendly eyes hard and distant now. After weeks of facing execution in the jails, he'd been stripped of his rank and freed, spared only because of the respect the humans had for him as a renowned soldier. Respect. Therian scoffed. The humans didn't know the meaning of the word. They were brutes, all of them, obsessed with war and taking things that didn't belong to them.
"Sylvia," Therian called out weakly, making it halfway through the den of their rather large home before being forced to stop and rest on a table in the hallway. Though he hadn't held a sword in his hand for weeks, he wasn't without his injuries; the men had whipped him good during his time in the dungeons, and he had scars that would never fade away along his back and his arms, a few bloodied bandages covering him here or there. It felt so strange to just be home again, like nothing had ever happened.
Too much had happened...
