DISTANT

    AND HIS MOUTH GAPES TO RELEASE A GUTTERAL, ICE-SPLITTING ROAR.

    “ ANOTHER ONE … ? ” The words fall off of his tongue softly. Vidar was still only half-awake, but attentive: the word nightmare did it, struck a cord like it would for any concerned parent. A lavender wing outstretched slowly to cradle his son in soft plumage, pulling Bashan closer to him. His eyes search the child’s face worriedly. They are sleepy – but soft. “ Would you like to talk about it … ? ”

     Vidar’s head cocks to one side slowly and in bird-like fashion. “ What is a child doing wandering on a cliff side, after all? ” It was a more vague, less intrusive way of asking ‘ what is a child doing all out on his lonesome? ’ He look too well dressed to be a scavenger, yet his parents weren’t around ...

      He turns his head slowly toward Varian, kindness shining in those milky eyes. Somewhere in there, its as though he’s asking for FORGIVENESS. “ Do you understand? Eventually I have to leave this place to find answers to what I’m looking for. When that day comes, I need you here, where you can stay and be of much greater help to your kingdom. You … won’t unlock any greatness following me. ”

     “ DON’T ACT LIKE I’M A FOOL -- I know I heard a melody coming from someone. ” Pupils narrowing, the alebrije looks with scrutiny on the skeleton before drawing his head backward. “ ... It was a very lovely tune. I don’t believe I’ve heard such a soft song in ages. I’VE HEARD A FEW NAMES ATTACHED YOU, faded soul -- but I did not know musician was among them. ”  // @silencedsongs​ - sc.

      “ YOU SHOULD BE MORE CAUTIOUS when scaling these cliffs. They’re unsteady. As you seem to be. ” // @petitprince - sc.
