I felt them. Each and every single time that the seals broke – that I got closer and closer to finally being let free from this prison – I felt them. With each one, I could taste the glimpse of freedom that it offered me; I could almost feel it.
And yet, I still knew that there was more waiting, because I could still feel the ones that were not yet broken. The ones that remained in place, keeping me trapped, held, imprisoned.
I felt them – just as I had felt it when my brothers had come to retrieve that pure, bright soul. The one that, through it all, I knew had remained untarnished.
Because I knew my brother.
And I knew that he, indeed, chose well.
So, yes, I felt it and I knew when they had come for him. And I even tried to see if I could recognize any of them – but it had been so long.
And the one that I was sure that I would recognize, no matter how much time had passed, the one that I could never forget (because – betrayal or not – he was still my brother), I knew that he was not there.
I knew. Because I would be able to feel it if Michael had been there.
I was sure of it.
