Fire. Large flames, engulfing entire palaces. The bright, violent orange and red sweeps across the fields. It dances over trees, raging through villages. Sparks spit into the smoke-filled sky. Destruction is left in its path. The heat burns, leaving ash and embers. The whole world is filled with chaos. The earthquakes, buildings fall. Homes are destroyed. People scream in terror. CRACK! “NO! HELP!” the prince wakes, screaming, covered in sweat. Phantom ash stings in his nose, burning his watering eyes. Nonexistent sparks hit his fur. However, he remains unharmed. Lancelot kneels beside him, concern glued to his expression. “Calm down, Christian. It was only a nightmare…” “D-do nightmares f-feel real?” Christian stammers, trembling in fear. He buries his face in his hands with a sigh. Lancelot frowns, placing his hand on the young lion’s shoulder. “At least attempt to keep silent. Lord Sonic has yet to awaken, and it is late. I would rather not deal with him…” “Did… did I wake thou?” Lancelot’s expression falls blank. He does not answer Christian’s question. Instead, the ebony knight stands, facing the stars. His eyes betray distraction, and slight heartbreak. The young prince remains silent, watching Lancelot. He shifts awkwardly, unsure of how to handle the silence. Christian sighs. “Thou have… lost someone…? Of importance?” “It is none of your concern…” Lancelot returns to his spot by the fire, sitting with his back turned to the prince. His shoulders slump in exhaustion, but he remains awake. Christian does not argue, too tired to care much. He lays back down, staring at the sky. Tiredness tugs his eyes and mind. However, the young lion never returns to sleep.
