Gravis was slow to come back, but he felt a weight on his arm which was already a massive improvement over what he expected. The last thing he clearly recalled was seeing his son strung up and shouting for him to run before his arms were cut away.
A moment of distraction had cost him any chance of saving his son! His daughter was safe with his wife but there had been so many with his son he had not seen on the way. The lack of bodies had disturbed him but then all was gray after that.
As he slowly opened his eyes, he quickly realized the opulent room was not his quarters in the Two Rivers fortress. It was in the Core Hall.
The weight was his wife, sleeping peacefully on his arm with his daughter right next to her. He then saw his son nodding off as healthy as could be in the chair looking out on the small realm around the Core Hall.
Tears formed to see his son safe but he was unsure what had happened. How long had he been out?
