The Fireflies [ A 'Dragon Prince' Fanfiction]

It smells like teen spirit in here. Wait, no. That's not teen spirit, that's dark magic and mental illness.

Callum struggled with his mental health during the time King Harrow was killed, he felt an immense amount of guilt for not telling his brother.

Callum struggles with his mental health even after he had told Ezran. It took a while for him and his brothers relationship to get back normal again. However, the topic was still thought of sometimes, making their relationship forever strained, even if just a little.

Callum doesn't tell anyone that he needs help, instead he uses the thrill of dark magic to "help" him. He knows he shouldn't, but he's latching on to the one person who did bad things to or for him, but still genuinely cared for him; Claudia.

He loved Claudia, she'd come in second place - Ezran, his brother, and King Harrow, his father at first place. She cared for him but he cared for genuine life ever so much more.

Callum has PTSD from all of the events that had occurred throughout those traumatic few years.

Callum started to get a little better on his own when the war had subsided, albeit not on it's own.

That was until Viren was resurrected by Claudia.
It made his and Rayla's relationship strained too, it felt as if he could no longer count on the people he ... knew.. and loved.

Little did Callum know, he could, but he was struggling too much to see it. He needed help but nobody noticed his silent cries out, desperate to be saved from the rapids of dark magic that he was drowning in; desperate to be lifted into a safe haven of primal magic once again.
