“Now, picture your weapon as another conduct of your power. Recite the incantation while making sure you're focusing on- Mmm? Are you paying attention?”

Cathal wakes up from his nap. Sunlight streaming from the canopy of trees reaches his face and brawny chest; the same his handsome Duran is using as a pillow to rest. The black centaur's ear twitching a little bit out of reflex making Cathal smile. He's been reminiscing a lot about past events as of late, both good and bad. The dream he had just before waking up was a memory of him, still in his early days after becoming a centaur, being taught how to imbue his weapons with fay runes to make them stronger and more durable. Cathal was still having a hard time trying to adjust, and the residents of the Forest of Eternity weren't making it easy on him; but it was understandable after all, who would want a former slayer of their kind living with them? He became irritable and distant as he tried his best to hide how miserable he felt for being alone. Still, Duran never left his side, he was always there providing a sort of support. At first it was out of obligation to serve The Horned One’s wishes, but the wise centaur could see the pain and struggle happening inside the former human warrior. Trying to switch gears to keep his mind occupied, Duran decided to teach him rune magic, but what he didn't expect was to captivate Cathal’s heart that day. Back to the present, Now, with an even brighter smile, the fiery centaur decides to go back to his nap as he can see his husband is still deep asleep, but not before kissing the top of his head.

“I love you, my other half…”

Duran smiled while still sleeping, as Cathal laid back to do the same. Both lovers together, under the vast sea if trees.
