Gaze falls on a fallen gelfling, their silhouette growing more familiar as Jen takes cautious steps closer. He doesn’t need to see if it’s him. He knows. Kneeling at his father’s side, the childling places a hand on his shoulder before giving it a light shake.
“Papa?” He shakes him again, this time more forcefully. “Papa, come on, get up. The monsters are gone.” Tears well in the childling’s eyes, head shaking as he shakes his father once more. He shakes his mother, too.
“Papa, please get up…” Jen lets his tears fall, knowing his efforts to wake his parents are all for naught as he quietly curls himself in next to him, draping his father’s arm around him as quiet sobs rack the young one’s body. This can’t be… He promised… Why did this have to happen?
He can sense the presence of another… though they are foreign to him as he peeks up at them with glassy hues. The sad, old, wrinkled features of a Mystic gazes upon him – kind eyes meeting his own as one of four hands is outstretched.
“Young gelfling,” his voice sounds old, ancient… but there’s kindness. “You must come with me.”
“But—” Jen starts, turning his gaze back to the fallen song teller. He can’t leave… He couldn’t. He couldn’t leave him here.
“Your father cannot be with you anymore, young one.” The Mystic beckons Jen to come closer, and before Jen goes to him, he gives his parent a final goodbye – pressing his forehead against theirs; remembering them as they were; how they smelled, how they laughed, how they laughed with him.
“You will be safe with me in the Valley,” hand reaches out again, taking the childling in his arm, where Jen buried his face in the long, grey hair that cascaded down his long neck. “Come, now.”
The gelfling peeks behind and takes in his last glimpse of Stone-in-the-Wood.

This is what I imagine the moment urSu came to rescue Jen was like. Lion King/Bambi vibes? absolutely.
This was VERY painful to draw; I did not like drawing dead Kylan ONE BIT.
I headcanon Kylan to be Jen's father, by extension Kylan AND Rian to be Jen's parents. It's fine if you don't, but please be respectful in the comments!
