A dream. A dream of many things...
The air hung heavy with the scent of burnt flesh and the sound of screaming. The walls of De'Arnise Keep soaked with blood.
Somewhere on the battlements two figures stood, basking in the grim atmosphere, one a young woman with pink hair, the other a very tall man with a bald head and dark tattoos giving him a sinister appearance. His eyes glowed with a burning golden light that matched the indigo that his companion's shone.
The smell went unnoticed, the sound unheard, the glow unacknowledged in favour of simple happiness in the return of one dearly loved finally returned.
Arms wrapped securely, comfortingly around the woman and she relaxed into the embrace happily.
"I am so glad you came back."
"I am pleased you have welcomed me back so readily."
"And why wouldn't I? You became a part of my life that I have missed, badly."
"All the same, I am glad."
She merely smiles at that and he tenderly caresses her cheek, leaning down to kiss her.
"As am I... father."
