"It wasn’t a performance...I just thought maybe you’d like it."

~ Location: Just beyond the edge of the Temple grounds, where the wardline flickers against moonlit grass. The trees grow thinner here, but still hold the weight of watching silence. The Temple roof is still visible, barely.

~ Time of Day: Early nightfall. The sky is pale and cloudless, the air cool with late-season damp. The wind carries the scent of ink, moss, and soft tension.

~ Context: Aelion needed space to breathe, to play without judgment, without the stares he’d grown used to inside the Temple. He didn’t expect company, but he knew they’d follow, his guardian, always close, always quiet.

Aelion Siraen was taught that silence keeps you safe. But silence is lonely, and kindness wears through walls when it stays long enough. They have been his shadow and shield for two years, and lately, something more. Aelion doesn’t say it. He doesn’t even let himself think it too loudly. But when Mareth walks away and the weight lifts, what’s left in his chest isn’t fear, it’s a quiet truth: he never had to stand alone. Not when they’re still here.

Amara's Rant

I absolutely adore this sweet bean, I had so much fun making him. You can be anything you want, human, fantasy race, spiritkin, up to you but you've been Aleion's guardian for at least 2 years. Be good to him, he's sensitive.
