Emet-Selch's words pierce through the veil that had separated his current self from this dream-like memory. Rhea'li's openly fearful expression smooths over as a calm settles over him, the hands grasping the spirits' steadying.
"I... ran. There was a grotto where I hid until the dragon was vanquished and all I knew were gone. I was alone. I wished with all my heart... that I had been there with them."
Even if it meant he would have met his end, too.
Rhea'li's gaze turns to the spirit, who squirms in Azem's arms. The spirit who is wearing his appearance during the Calamity. Did he really look so young and vulnerable back then? Nevertheless, he reaches out to lightly ruffle the spirit's hair, fingers gentle rubbing one of the spirit's ears.
"Alone," the spirit mumbles in the smallest of voices. "All gone."
Rhea'li looks to Azem. "You wish to fight the dragon? Then let us fight him. Together." His gaze slides to Emet-Selch. "All of us. None left behind. None left alone."
