~Alaric~
The room was quiet, the soft glow of the moonlight filtering through the curtains casting a gentle light across the bed. Azaria was asleep beside me, her breathing steady and peaceful after we had made love, her body draped over mine. I leaned back against the headboard, feeling a rare moment of calm as I watched her sleep. These moments were precious, stolen in the midst of the chaos that had become our lives. But as I sat there, letting the stillness of the night settle over me, I felt something—a faint scratching at the edge of my mind. I tensed, recognizing the familiar sensation. My father's voice echoed in my thoughts.
"Son." his voice was steady but urgent, We are on our way. Your mother and I will arrive in a few hours. Have everyone gathered. There's something you all need to hear." I kept the link open
"There is news I need to share with you too when you return, come as fast as you can."
