Brothers

By the time I had raised my head from my desk, having finally finished my work, I was shocked to see that the sky had already said it's farewell to the radiant sun and welcomed the pale moon and it's gentle luster in it's stead.

Slightly massaging my tired eyes, I calmly ask "What time is it?"

"We're an hour off from daybreak." Horus' voice echoed out, as he and Abraham entered the room, having been dutifully guarding it this whole time.

Nodding to his words, I turn around to look outside the window where the silverish moonlight was shyly filtering in, illuminating the makeshift office within it's tender embrace as I take this moment of rare peace to calm my restless mind and enjoy the simple pleasure of blissful silence for a few, brief minutes.

"Is everything done?" I ask after having my fill of this momentary of tranquility.
