Today... Today something felt different in the air... The air was thick and it felt difficult the breathe... Was it the mountain air today? Was it his sorrows creeping up on his again? Unsure of what was causing this weight on his shoulders and chest he pulled himself from his lying position in their sweet scented, flower laden, den.

In his time alone he'd done the best he could to collect small flowers he found, beautiful red and purple tiny blooms across the mountains, and laid them around the inside of their home... Reign never smelled like flowers exactly but the colors reminded him of her... Of home... And so he'd gathered quite a collection in their little den and piled them in a corner. Their scents filled the area around him and brought him back to who he was and the alabaster dragon shook himself out to try and reconnect to the real world.

Trotting carefully down the mountain the man came to the borders and began walking along them. Doing his best to keep busy as his heart thrummed heavily in his chest, anxiety was upon the man and he couldn't place why...

Suddenly... It was there... They were there...

Reign, Cilicia, Lotus and Atiyah... All four of them were standing before him...

A gasp came from onyx lips as he stood still as stone. Ice came over him as his heart beat faster in his breast. His ears swiveled towards their position and Creole opened his mouth to speak, but no sounds came out, only the clacks of his teeth as he tried to force sounds... Nothing came...

His body, he tried to inch forward and embrace them, tried to move but... He wasn't even sure they were real...

Were they figments of his imagination? Illusions his mind had cooked up for him? Was he falling into madness again...?

Reign...? He finally forced out. A question to her existence... He questioned all of them... But he couldn't make anymore words, sounds, they seemed impossible as his heart felt like it was going to explode.

Was this -- Was this real...?
