Solace
Childhood is not an easy path to navigate and power only made the trail more treacherous. Power turned children into beasts, if they wanted to be or not, Solace knew this in the deepest parts of her soul - Khaedrik knew it too.
But anyone could learn to tame the beast inside.
"Not all monsters are wicked," her tone drops to match his, as she is captivated the combination of anguish and innocence he is too young to hide. The pale Queen knows the conversation is no longer focused on metaphorical invaders - this is far more personal. "Sometimes we need a few monsters on our side...because there are plenty of them out there," and she gestures out and beyond their sanctuary with a furrowed brow before returning her steadfast gaze to his. "I just sure want to know about them if they are here."
Please don't kill them
The sincerity swirling in the endless pools of his eyes wrenches her heart, but she will not lie. "I think we all have a little monster in us," she replies with a gentle nudge to his shoulder.
But she doesn't promise not to kill them - she would do anything she needed to for those who called her Queen.
"Is there something you would like to show me before we go?"
