Tiberios
He’d followed her with a hunger he’d never known before. A craving for acceptance, for love, for unconditional happiness. All this time and it had been here - waiting for him to realize it. He’d spent his hours devoted to the Dale until he found himself wearing a title, holding a trait, and finding his bloodline, but it still hadn’t been enough. Years wasted while he clung to something that could never be his. But a man - a real man - knows when he has met his equal, and Shatter was that in every sense of the word.
They were truly each other’s match: Her kindness and compassion to match his brooding discontent, her words to fill the space with his silence, her water against his fire. They’d made one perfectly wonderful daughter, and another one was quickly on the way. Tiberios smiles to himself at the thought, following closely by her side while letting his nose drift softly against her rounding belly. He’d come back to a bright future.
When they reach the outskirts of the Falls he takes the land in with soft wonder. He’d been here before, long ago, but it seemed all so new to him again. There’s a pressing urge in his chest too, a need to see Tyrna. She’d been a young woman the last he’d seen her, no doubt she was a full-fledged mare now. Tiberios inhales deeply, smiling at the thought of this being his final home. With the tilt of his bronze eyes he gazes at Shatter, waiting for her move. This was, after all, her domain.
