I am not a scholar and I don't believe in fate
Noah rose as soon as he saw Deimos approach, shoulders easing with quiet relief. He hadn’t realized how tightly he’d been holding himself until now—even in the warmth of the springs, back home in Halo. He let ease fill the attuned bond between them, though there was a pulsing urgency beneath each heartbeat. No injuries, no losses, no grim reports to deliver. Just facts, clean and steady.
There was no use in waiting, he got straight to the point. “Glad you came,” he said, voice low but certain, meeting Deimos’s eyes. “Sah and I went with Hadama and Jack to Starfall, to plant a rose.” The tension in his chest eased more. "It was not easy, but we all made it out alive and the rose locked in another area of the island." He rolled his shoulders some, jaw feathering a bit. "We were able to kill one of their titans, a giant spider that shot webs that blocked off magic." He never wanted to feel that again, and even now giving the details of it made the hair on the nape of his neck prickle. "The mirewyrm, however, we were unable to kill. We maybe could have, but there wasn't enough time. We had to made -- I had to make -- the decision to plant the rose before the tunnels we were in collapsed in on us in totality."
"Sah saved us from that, singlehandedly." He said, of the once-wolf's efforts. It was Sah's mastery over his earth magic that kept his life and Jack's from ending, and Hadama and Noah waiting beneath the rubble for a rescue.
