I knew everything when I was young

August evenings Bring solemn warnings
To remember to kiss the ones you love goodnight

Soh returned the nod of greeting, pleased to find that Deimos had been well. She supposed it was something of a relief for him to be entering what promised to be an era of peace; he was among the strongest of them, even without being a demigod, and the burden for protecting Caido had been partially on his shoulders these past years. She hoped, in her own small way, that he was finding rest and respite now, with the Family banished and things returning to normal.

"It is," she said of Stormbreak, offering a small smile. "I lost my companion in the battle against a Void dragon, but the region is free of infection now." It was a small consolation, but even though Tarak's loss still lingering in her chest with every heartbeat, it was growing easier to exist in a world in which he did not. "We've been working on re-establishing the government. I'm certain we'll be able to share more soon."

You never know what temporal days may bring
So laugh, love, live free and sing
