"What should I tell you mom? From where should I begin?" Adrian's heart clenched with those unspoken words.

He closed his eyes tightly, a lifetime of grief, longing, guilt, and regret poured into him all at once, those mixed emotions burning him alive.

He looked at Christian, at the boy whose aura resonated perfectly with his, whose storm reacted to his presence, whose eyes softened the same way his lost love’s once did.

He could barely breathe when he finally said it aloud. "He is my son, Mom.... He is my only child, your grandson...."

Mrs. Nevermore’s hand flew to her mouth in shock, Adrian continued, voice breaking for the first time in years. "He is the child who is carrying my blood, he is the only heir of our bloodline!"

Silence crashed into the room.

Mrs. Nevermore stared at Christian, at his face, the curve of his jaw, the faint resemblance to a younger Adrian.

"I always felt he is similar to you, but never expected this, how is this even possible, Rian?" She whispered, disb

HATE YOU?
"I didn't mean to suspect you," Christian tried to give a gentle clarification, "but why do I feel like you're hiding something from me? Are you really hiding anything from me?" The question was soft, too soft for the weight it carried.Adrian did not answer, it's not because he has no answer, it's because he doesn't know what answer he is supposed to give to the boy in front of him.The silence that followed was not empty, it pressed against the walls, heavy and suffocating, as if the storm itself had paused to listen.Christian watched him carefully and silently, not accusing, not even auspicious, just… searching for an answer to calm his curiosity.Adrian turned his face away, his jaw tightening, fingers curling slowly at his side. The faint hum of residual lightning in the air thinned, but the tension did not."If I were," Adrian finally said, voice low, and measured as if he is trying to know about the things going on in Christian's heart, "would you hate me for it?" Christian
WHERE ARE WE?
"Huh?" Adrian stared at Christian with a clueless face because of the question asked by Christian.Understanding the confusion of Adrian, Christian asked once again, "I mean, aren't we strangers? Why are you worrying about me like this? Why are you going to the extent of hurting yourself just to keep me safe?" Christian ended his words and looked at Adrian for an answer, while the scent of lightning lingered around them, sharp and faintly sweet, as the storm inside Christian settled into silence.Adrian looked down at him, at the boy whose eyes resembled the woman he loved with his everything, and whispered before he could stop himself, "I’m your fa...." The words cracked in the middle itself, before he could continue further, his heart lurched.He bit them back so sharply that the breath caught painfully in his throat just because he wasn't able to say what he actually meant to say, that pain was something beyond any words could explain.Christian blinked, being dazed, as he was un
I DON'T CARE!
"If it's pain," Mary kissed Christian’s forehead, "let me take it for you… Don't be scared! Everything will be okay.... Just go back, you shouldn't be here!" Her soft voice faded with the dissolving dream realm, and Christian’s body snapped back into reality with a violent surge of lightning.His body hovered above the cracked floor, suspended in a storm of raw blue-white power.Adrian’s heart nearly stopped, as his son, his only child, the boy he had only just found was slipping away again, just like in the past, "NO!"Adrian was fast enough to hold Christian mid-air and pulled him down against his chest.A brutal bolt of lightning struck Adrian’s shoulder, tearing through skin and cloth, despite the injury that piercing him, he didn’t even blink as he is prepared to offer his life if that can save his son.Mrs. Nevermore cried out behind him, "Rian! Stop! Don't do this.... Your core... Your core can’t handle this!!" "I don’t care!" Adrian roared back, his voice shaking with desper
WHAT KIND OF A PLACE IS THIS?
"Riannn!" Mrs. Nevermore screamed as well being worried about her son, as she couldn't see him properly.Dust slowly drifted through the chamber like a pale snow, the white flash faded.The rattling stone pillars have calmly settled, and Lysandre, shielding his eyes with one arm, turned toward the storm-wreathed platform."My Lord… Can you hear me?" His voice trembled, but Adrian did not answer.He couldn’t.He was kneeling, one knee on the cracked stone floor, while his arms wrapped tightly around Christian’s limp body as if afraid that something can take him away if he were to get away from him.Lightning still danced faintly over Christian’s skin, soft but uncontrolled, like a storm caught between dying and exploding.Mrs. Nevermore rushed down the steps once the place got clear and visible, her heart pounding in fear. "Rian! Rian, what happened? Is he...." Adrian didn’t even look up.His forehead was pressed to Christian’s temple, his hand cradling the back of the boy’s head wit

WHOSE CHILD IS THIS BOY?
"Chris, can you hear me?" Adrian was trying to keep Christian awake, but his body already went limp in Adrian’s arms.Lightning flickered once more under his skin, then dimmed as exhaustion dragged him under completely. Adrian held him tighter, terrified that if he loosened his grip even slightly, the boy might shatter like glass.That state of Christian shattered Adrian's heart, though his eyes became wet with recognition as he finally got to know why he liked Christian even though they just met for a few times, it's because of the blood relationship in between them that pulled him towards Christian.Mrs. Nevermore rushed out of the doorway, with widened eyes, "Rian, what's happening here?" But Adrian didn’t answer her, as he is panicking about Christian, for the first time in decades, his hands were shaking, those were the same hands which killed many in the battlefield but today they were shaking terribly."Lys," he said in a raw and vulnerable voice, "open the Stormborn chamber.
