from the past; Tiphon

[Tiphon]

We danced with monsters through the night Tiphon lost track of the years that trickled past since Katniss left. Their sons faded with the seasons as well, leaving the angel king alone to his thoughts. Their abandonment worried him at first and struck every cord inside him, but then the months hardened him and he turned his mind elsewhere. There was no other option. Loss is something all too familiar. He had lost his parents, his twin, loves, children, homes. The list would’ve continued on if he hadn’t built a formidable wall around himself when facing someone new. Although Tiphon yearned for companionship he knew better than to search for it because it always resulted in despair. It’s why so few have been able to truly penetrate through his stony mask and know what lies underneath. It has been a façade to protect himself. Because of that notion of self-withdrawal Tiphon almost hesitates when he first glimpses Katniss. Is she here to stay or will she leave him again just as she did before with their twins? His stomach churns uncomfortably. There is really no other option than to face her again. With his mind reeling Tiphon approaches her with a curious glimmer in his molten gold eyes. ”Katniss,” he tastes her name for the first time in years; it’s sugar on his tongue, ”How are you?” Their past is evaded and tucked away into the back of his mind. Maybe the past can remain just that, and they can simply move forward. Tiphon infection and starlace
