There was a quiet pause for a moment

"You are sorry? YOU are sorry?&8221; Trajan’s words cut straight to her as he began to walk away, the broiling energy around hi door, nearly blasting it off as he opened it
"I hope you weep for hi to look back at her,
"Because if you were to die, right here and noould shed no tears for you&8221; He slammed the door shut behind hi behind the lonely figure of Helena, her shoulders sluht ar his blinded eyes, his energy vision strained under all the stress
"I was too harsh, Probus I let s overwhelm me&8221; He shook his head slowly,
"My friend, hoish you were here with me now&8221; Trajan’s shoulders slu hollow
tap tap
Trajan looked up as he heard a tapping sound ring out, so on the roof near hiure that was standing only a few meters away, unable to y vision, the being looked largely the sa special
"Trajan, of the Aurelius Reavers, yes?&8221; The figure’s voice was melodic as it spoke, full of charisma The tone was a neutral one, neither entirely ure

The robed figure shrugged, taking a step back
"I could leave, if that is what you truly want, Trajan&8221; The figure spoke, nodding its robed head
"But I don’t think you want that After all, don’t you want to save your friend?&8221;

Partly from hope

"You must simply take my hand and join me Your friend deserves better, as do you&8221; He held out his hand to Trajan,
"Reviving your friend will be as easy as…&8221; The Ancestral Vaether,

"That&8221;
Trajan looked at the stranger, and then at his hand, his eyes flashing once more Memories ran flush in his mind, of the adventures he had with his best friend, the years they’d shared, the friendship they had built The brotherhood they had bonded over
The sense of family he felt, a sense he’d felt with no one else
