This was not what Kiaran had envisioned.
The silvery Tyrian had travelled home, his wings guiding him there under the starry night sky.
The silence tearing his heart open the more it prolonged, but it couldn't be helped.
he dreaded the idea of returning home alone from now on. Would this be the first of many?
When he touched ground before his cave's entrance he let out a shaky sigh, doubt in his mind creeping to take over him.
It held him hostage.

With the tip of his nose, he peaked through the hanging moss and vines that covered the entrance, slowly entering his abode.
The curtain-like plants dangled atop of him as he made his way in, brushing ever so gently over his skin like the many times before.
But there was no reassurance or soothing from it this time.

[No matter the cost?] He questioned to himself while sinking deeper into thought.
The words never left his mouth but it echoed in his mind, over and over.
Those words that were uttered to him before all of this, he couldn't shake them off.
He had severely underestimated the weight that they could bring.
It was not what he thought he would need to sacrifice. It was not what he wanted, nor imagined.

He was pacing deeper into his cave but he was no longer present in the moment, his eyes could only see visions of the past.
A painful reminder of what was still to come.
...

The image of a Reosean was obscured in his mind, with black fire against the void around them, echoing the words as he remembered:

"You must find them, set them on their path. No matter the cost." Their voice was deep and loud, it was around them all at once.

"Is there no other way?" Kiaran had asked, the small glimmer of hope in his voice faltering.

The dark Reosean didn't answer immediately but it was clear on their expression.
They knew the answer they would give would not be a reassuring one, but the silence was worse.
The consequences couldn't be known, but he knew that risks were there.

"It is, though only if you choose this."

"This is what I want... I want to save them." Kiaran never hesitated, he had made his choice.

The shadowy Reosean bowed their head, they seemed thankful but immensely pained.
Their hollow eyes closed slowly as they began getting engulfed by the dark misty strands of black fire.
It ripped and stirred violently at them until they were no more.
Until Kiaran was brought back to the harrowing reality that faded back in.

He took a deep breath, recomposing as much as he possibly could himself before releasing a long unsteady sigh.
He had remembered enough and other worries haunted him.

What would become of his son, he kept wondering anxiously. He was unsure, but also terrified to bear that burden.
Would she dispose of him?
He shivered and shook his head, Kiaran preferred to think not, that the Queen would appeal to pledge a deal with Kingsmere instead.
But even that thought brought little comfort, even if better than the alternative.
What would this all be for if he couldn't protect his family, he blamed and questioned himself.

The silvery Tyrian was becoming frantic, his breaths became shorter, wheezing almost.
His eyes wide from the shocking thoughts that provoked him, but even so he could barely see.
His panic blinded him momentarily, he was wandering in circles inside his cave without realizing.

Until something snapped him back, a rustle at his chest.
Something fumbling and rolling around gently.
Kiaran's heart was racing and thundering, he could feel it against the medicine bag at his chest.
But it wasn't the only heartbeat there.
