The old beaten paths

Tamsyn had become a formidable fighter in her own right, and he was touched that she had sent her son his way. They reached the Col, and he slowed, giving her a chance to take it in.  “I'm old,” he said softly. “I can feel it in my bones.” He wasn't sure if his grandson was ready, but he knew Hazel would balance him, and others would help to guide him.


He started to walk at a regular pace again after a moment, leading her through the Col and up towards First Light Point. He reaches the incline when she questioned him about his heir. “Mortis rejected the position, and has found his place in being a father instead.” He explained, carefully keeping any bitterness from his tone. “Azure went missing shortly after… Zee died.” Here he couldn't stop the worry that crept in.
