"Where is he?" Koska asked walking into the room. He knew he had him, he had to. Who else would take him?

"Whatever are you talking about Koska?"

"Orami! Where is Orami!? I know you have him! Why!? What did you take him for!?" Koska yelled at the old man. Jorge smiled. Sickeningly.

"Oh. The little twerp you were with? I killed him. Little brat kept rambling and crying. 'Where's Koska. I want Koska. Koska come save me.' I wasn't about to deal with that all day long."

Koska froze. Dead? Orami? Dead? Killed? He couldn't comprehend it. It didn't make sense. Orami couldn't have been killed. Could he?

"You're lying!" Koska yelled in a fit of disbelief.  "You wouldn't of killed him. He's your only bargaining chip against me!"

"Haha haha! You're so naive kid! I don't need a bargaining chip against a kid like you. There are easier ways to control you. Like making both of you slaves but the boy was annoying and wouldn't last long anyway so I gave him to my men. They cut him open then threw him to the snowy woods where the wolves would feast on him." Jorge began to laugh again. Enjoying Koska's dismay.

It wasn't but 2 seconds later that Jorge's laugh was cut short.

"You just couldn't leave us alone. No one ever does. Now look what happened. You're dead too." Koska said to the severed head of a once living Jorge.

By the time Jorge's men figured out that he was dead they too had their souls ripped from there body. Quite violently.

Koska walked through the snow covered woods looking for his brother's body. He found it just on the edge of the forest not to far from what looked like Jorge's camp. Luckily the wolves hadn't gotten to him yet.

Koska could see the cuts all over the small boy's bare body as he picked him up. It was slow and painful, his death. There was a considerable amount of blood where his body lay. He'd been there for a while. Hurting. Bleeding. Crying. The snow falling and covering his body making him colder as his body began to fail.

"They wouldn't leave us alone. Why? Why? This could've been avoided. You could still be alive. Orami! Why? Don't go! Don't leave me! Don't leave me!" Koska cried out into the night sky, looking for his brother, looking for the little Orami star. He found it and it seemed to be shinning a little brighter.

"Don't go. Don't leave me alone."
