He kept looking.
He would always keep looking.
It didn’t matter that none but his closest knights – the ones who felt a certain absence just as strongly as he did – were the only ones to accompany him anymore.
It didn’t matter that the council didn’t approve.
He didn’t even care about the magic anymore.
He just wanted his friend back.
So he kept looking. And every night, in his dreams, he would see his friend’s face – the despair, the hurt, the unfathomable loss – as the king made his biggest mistake.
And every night, a merlin falcon drifted far above. Watching.
