Caspian ran his weary gaze over the ruin and destruction. He could feel his body wail and lament in protest, crying out in the aftermath of the reversed, unwelcome transformation. His lungs chased a breath to catch, making his breathing heavier than he would've liked it to be.

The eternal recognized a hint when he was offered one. He walked to the beast with long steps, and gently petted its bony muzzle. At least someone remembered him.

 

A comforting thought.
