Darrain and Morris were returning home. On the way, he stopped Darrain.
Morris: I did not know you had an eagle.
Darrain: '''
Morris: Since when?
Darrain: Since the scars.
Morris: May I ask why?
Darrain: A lot of Zyphons have eagles. What is wrong with that?
Morris: No. Only rich and ruler Zyphons possess it. That too for trade purposes and all. We commoners lack reasons to raise an eagle. What is yours?
Darrain: To heal.
Morris: '''
Darrain: I wanted to get rid of my scars. It was too late before I could dip myself in Sanguis again. So, I started seeking a cure. I was not ready to die.
Morris: There is a cure for scars? Impossible!
Darrain: That is what I thought too. But I heard witches can cure diseases. Even curses. Then why not try? That is how I met Kaeya. I sent about my condition to her. It took her 3 years to find a cure. I was rotting with my scars. Withering in pain... hopeless and helpless. Almost like living meat. Then on the day after the eclipse where Ilspeka rose again after 5 months, I felt the excruciating pleasure of being alive!
Morris: How did you pay her?
Darrain: I think you shouldn't know.
Morris: You could save a lot of lives. Even save our lands from the curse! Why were you silent about this?
Darrain: No. Nobody can lift the curse. I am no ordinary Zyphon Morris. That is why she was able to cure me.
Morris: I do not understand.
Darrain: I am a Crolien too.
Morris: WHAT?
Darrain: Yes. I am a part crolien. Not a lot but a bit. And because of that, the effect of curse slows down in my body.
Morris: Is this what Dail was upset about?
Darrain: I don't think so. What did she say?
Morris: She said, "it hurts when people are not the people, we thought they were" or something like that...
Darrain: It was not about this.
Morris: you are a stranger to me now. I feel like I do not even know you.
Darrain: Dail knows.
Morris: oh...did you tell her?
Darrain: No. I could swim underneath the sea as long as I wanted. I never thought anything unusual about it. But Dail came up to me and said that a pure Zyphon could never be underwater for so long. She was the one who figured it out.
Morris: And she was alright? That does not sound like Dail!
Darrain: She was very happy to have a hybrid mother. I cannot believe it is the same Dail who used to jump on my back so she can explore the sea like a crolien. Her dream was to travel whole Kratis and make a lot of friends from various clans. She wanted to learn a lot... do a lot.... Now, she is this fragile little woman who confined her own child in her chambers... You know why it is ridiculous for me to believe this? Because dail was a person who dreamt of crossing the boundaries of Fraxville. She knew the price of freedom. She fancied being free like a bird and just fly to a far land...it is impossible how much motherhood and love changes a person.
