The wind in the woods swished the tree leaves in sanding motion creating a sound a sweet melody as everything in nature completes each other like yin and yan, the predators and the preys merging together to birth a perfect harmony. There the breaths of the heaven's gatekeeper Eros walked in the midst of the wet woods carrying a bag of groceries. As was passing by he spotted a group of farmers and he hid between the trees and observed waiting for them to go so he could pass, he heard them talking amongst themselves with concern expressions, Eros curiosity overtook him as he lends his ears to their conversation.

"Isn't it strange...The Adwell River never this dried off fish..."

"I know...This a bad omen!..should we inform the palace?.."

"NO!...I mean who would risk it!..."

"Jared!..we should've taken it to the court days ago now our pockets are dry as well...our kids will starve as well as the whole village!"

"We must speak to her Majesty! She's the only one who could save us...."

"As if we could reach her..."

"My guess is the only option for us is to seek Vrithia..."

"King Victor?...Yea...But he has done so much for us already.."

"So you guys agree?... King Victor, it is.."

King Victor!....That annoying snob! Has infested the mind of our commoners...what in the world caused their dirty river to dry up the fish...it must pollute our something their mud is shit....wait...no they are annoying and hyped up about how sacred it is...they even fish in seasons and they follow the certain protocol I remember Azmeralda talking about but I zoned out thinking of josh....who was listening to her attentively..god he's such a nerd!...who cares about those shitty people they better dry up into ash such like their fishes such a drag!...

Eros sat down leaning against the tree feeling the breeze of the wind brushing against his hair and face, taking few deep breathes in as he was looking at the bags of groceries that he clenched into with irritation, after the group of farmers left he then continued on his way, passing a magic invisible barrier once he did a tower looking over the Adwell river appeared. Just like the one Dracon described to the raven commander and the one where Rose first met him. Eros looked at the empty balcony and muttered to himself "Is he sleeping that lazy ass...he's usually all hyped up as soon as I walk through the barrier..." he entered the tower and began climbing the mountain of stairs that would lead to the highest room, where he kicked open the door and called out for him "Dragon!? Here...I got your food..aren't you hungry hurry up...I'm bored...come on take it so I can leave...this coped up place gives me anxiety...Dragon? DRAGON??"  The grocery bag fell from Eros's shivery hands upon realizing that Dragon is nowhere to be found.

The sun has come and gone and Eros has roamed all of Sepia in search of dragon but no sign, his migro never stop shaking pounding his head, the queen had left him few worried voices mails that he ignored, coming him defeated as he decided to give up, he found his mother figure at her usual favorite place her green glass garden. Tending to her plants, he froze standing looking at her watering her plants with such grace, his heart starting to ache the more he looked at her, "Mom.." he exhaled with heavy pain in his tone.

The queen lifted her head diverting her attention to him. His voice made her unease along with the look on his face, "What is it my sweet boy?" She replied with a warm motherly tone. Eros paused and he was hesitant but he gathers his strength to say few vague words "I screwed up...Really bad...but I'll fix it...I'll always take care of you...I promise?...and you'll love me..no matter what! RIGHT! Just like YOU..promised...
