He followed her here—of course he did. He had made a promise and those were not things he took lightly. So when she made it clear that she was ready to begin their journey, he nodded toward her and then set his sights upon the Mountain that seemingly could be seen throughout all of Beqanna. Even the grand majesty of Tephra’s volcano was dwarfed by the sheer size and presence of the Mountain. Magnus could not say that he looked forward to ascending it again, but he did not dread it either. He had made the journey before, and he could do it again. It was an easy choice if it meant getting her voice back.
They traveled in silence, Magnus used to it in her presence and feeling no great need to fill the moments with the sound of his own voice. The night hung heavy around them both, and he knew the magnitude of what they were doing. So instead he just walked quietly beside her, reaching over every once in a while to touch the velvet of his nose to her neck to let her know that he was there, that she wasn’t alone in this.
When they finally reached the summit, he remained quiet, his gold-flecked eyes burning beneath the ink of his forelock. He had been here before, he had stood here and asked things of the faeries that he had never dreamed the would give him. But they had—they had gifted Tephra to Offspring and him, and he could not fathom a world without it. So despite all odds, despite the bite of cold, all he felt was hope.

Magnus is just here for emotional support.
