if there's a light at the end, it's just the sun in your eyes
Their journey from the den to Hyaline takes quite a few hours, but Amet is content to walk at the young filly's pace. His own fatigue is blatant as they meander down the mountain path at his home's border and towards the lake that is nestled in the center. The foliage is still dead, forlorn-looking as they move through gnarled boughs and fissures in the earth. The destruction from the Lost Boys' attack has not yet begun to fade, though Amet is pleased that the scent of a fresh burning has now disappeared with the wind, and he knows that Hyaline will begin to regrow itself in the spring.
As they reach the lake's edge, its waters still cloudy and gray with ash, the dragon king turns his amber eyes back to the young filly. He gives her a warm smile, something bordering on apologetic. "Welcome to Hyaline, little one. It will look even more beautiful in the spring, I promise." He sighs dejectedly before turning his gaze to the lakeside, where his favorite tree stands charred and dead.
Perhaps, he muses to himself hopefully, there is a magician in Beqanna who can bring life back to this place. He gives the seal brown filly a friendly nudge. "Would you like to explore?"
Amet
