[After this. Kain and Zephyr tear through the air, riding rapidly to Matoya's cave. As it approaches below them, Kain feels that familiar knot of dread in his stomach that the place always gives him. But this time not because of the old seer.]
[They soar along and downward, Zephyr landing and making impatient sounds at Kain. He leaps off of her, patting her and leaving her to rest. That was a faster flight than usual and he worries over her overexerting herself. Time she gets some much needed rest, as he approaches the cave.]
[A flood of emotions and anxieties fills his mind. What if she's already gone? What if something else horrible has happened to her because of neglecting herself? All the 'what ifs'. Including a quiet and dark thought that starts with: what if she doesn't really...]
