Tro hissed as Hakon carried him through the forest they were in quietly; Tro was trying to get away. Hakon rolled his eyes and smacked Tro's face with his tail as he stopped for a moment. It wasn't gentle.. yet it wasn't terribly hard either. However, it definitely hurt Tro as he stopped, fear striking him immediately. Hakon looked at Tro then put him down, "I'll put you down, to let you walk around a bit, but you dare try run and you're getting worse than a tail slap kid. Got it?" Tro froze, paralyzed by fear for a moment as he gulped quietly before nodding.

The little dragon looked around, hearing the birds in the trees and listening to the leaves sway in the gentle breeze. He then spotted a little deer as he looked around. He stopped and tilted his head. Hakon looked back at Tro, '..The fuck is the child doing? Has he not seen a deer before? He came from an Arctic island for Palandious's sake.' He thought. Tro smiled a little at the deer. He had seen one before but he hadn't really been able to stop and look at one like he was doing now. Plus, he just liked them anyway. He found them cool. Unfortunately however, not before long, the deer was suddenly lunged at by a lycan fury and murdered. Tro gasped a little and stepped back, he was frightened by the sudden murder of the poor deer as the deer's eyes were now lifeless and it dragged away. The boy whimpered. Why was it murdered? What did it do to deserve that fate? That's what Tro thought as he stood there, staring at where the deer last was. Hakon raised an eyebrow, "..Never seen a deer killed before, kid?" Tro nodded. He was hesitant to speak but did so anyway, although he gulped slightly beforehand, "Y-yes..I-I have.. I.. I just don't like it.." he stuttered. "Why not?.." Hakon asked as he brought Tro along the forest. "I-I mean.. It didn't do anything t-to deserve that! D-Did it?.." "It's just how life works kid. A lot of us get killed almost every year too, ya know?" "W-we do??" "Mhm. It's sad, I know." "Um- M-mister? W-why did your guard take me away?? And..a-am I gonna see my parents and my brother again??" Tro asked hesitantly. "That's a question you don't need the answer to." "B-but-!" "Shut your damn mouth lycandra." Hakon hissed, smacking Tro again with his tail but harder this time, "As I said, you don't need the answer." Tro whimpered.

Eventually, Hakon brought Tro to his own den again. He brought him in this time. It was dark still... but it was actually brighter when you went in than what it looked on the outside. Tro looked around and spotted two other children in the cave who were playing. They were both blonde furred, like his own mother. However, the female had spots of black fur too, sort of like his twin but mainly blonde fur and not mainly black like Tempest had. The two noticed Tro and stopped playing to look at him, both tilting their heads, "Daddy who's the boy?" They asked. "He's a boy from another kingdom. He's..visiting.. for a while." "Wha-?" Tro made a confused look before being glared at. He went quiet immediately. The female came over. She soon circling Tro as she studied him, looking at his features but mainly his purple horns and black devil-like tail. She stopped and looked at Tro, "Sorry if I'm being awkward- Uh- hello!" She smiled awkwardly. "Um- hello.." Tro felt awkward, he wasn't good at socialising. "What's your name? I'm Ara and this is my twin, Arkyn. Arkyn come over here!" "No! He's weird! Look at him!" Arkyn huffed from further away. "Arkyn he's just a little different looking! That's all!" Arkyn groaned, "Fine.." he walked over to Tro, but didn't say hi or anything. Ara then spoke again, "Yeah, uh- anyway what's your name again? Or.. did you not say?" "Uh-..T-Tro..my name is Tro." "Tro? Like throwing a ball?" Arkyn asked, laughing a little at the name. "No you dumbie! And don't laugh! You're gonna make him upset!" "Hm. Fine." "Apologise." Ara huffed. "Wha-? No!" "Arkyn apologise! It's not that hard!" "Ugh fine! I'm sorry." Tro nodded. Ara then thought of something as she gasped, "Daddy, daddy! Can we go show Tro around??? I wanna introduce him to my friends and stuff! And I bet Arkyn does too!" "No I don't!" Arkyn growled. Hakon sighed, "Alright, but be back before sunset." "Okay! Thanks daddy! Boys C'mon!" Ara said happily as she smiled and ran out of the cave. Arkyn followed. Tro waited a moment, looking at Hakon beforehand who didn't give him a nice look. "Tro C'mon! It'll be fun! I promise!" Ara exclaimed from outside. Tro then nodded and followed the other two.

Later, after they had ran around a bit, they went back to the den. It was late and the time they were supposed to sleep. Ara and Arkyn got to where they were supposed to sleep but Tro didn't know where to go so he just sat in a corner, eventually falling asleep in that corner. Ara lifted her head and gazed at Tro. She felt concerned for some reason. She shrugged it off and eventually went to bed. Hakon eventually went to bed as well.

After a few days, Runa was sent to the forest island on search of Tro. Runa didn't exactly understand why Callum didn't do it himself, but she assumed it was for the best. A while after searching, she had found where her son was, although Tro was out playing with Ara and Arkyn. She didn't like where he was however..

"So, you came looking for your son, eventually?" Hakon said from inside the cave. "Obviously you asshole!" Runa hissed. "You still not over me yet?" "I-..Shut up you moran! And I am actually for your information!" "Hm. Well, when they come back I bet your children will be happy to see you." Runa looked down for a moment.
