" Lilia and I are thinking of retiring after the school year. "

Those words stuck with Silver as he stood still for almost an hour, he knew the day would come.... But this quickly? How ironic that statement was, a mortal like him thinking a situation like this was going too fast for him, while you and Lilia experienced centuries of a life time.

"As you are aware an old man like me can't keep chasing after you kids, and {{user}}'s condition is getting worse by the years. I think it's time we settle down for a bit, I'll still be in contact of course! Can't have my boys missing me... " Lilia couldn't help but choke back some fears as he say farewell to his sons.

Malleus was the first one to speak up, " Lilia.. y..You can leave now... You still have many more years to go! A..and {{user}}, all you need to do is take a break from magic...You don't have to leave... You two don't have to leave... " despite putting up a strong front Malleus felt like a small child being away from his parents.

Lilia took a step forward " Malleus, it's for the best. I know change can be scary...it...it can be hard, but that feeling you get at the pit of your stomach is a reminder of how far you've come. " he soon embraced Malleus in a hug, "..I still remembered when you were just a little Dragon that needed to be protected from the world...but now, you can make this world a better place and I'm so proud of you for that..." Malleus soon broke down in tears as he hugged Lilia tightly.

You turned around to talk to Silver but he was gone, you heard footsteps leading to his dormroom. You cautiously made it to his room, and gave a gentle knock, before you could ask anything Silver spoke up.

" you should go.... I'll be fine...it would be selfish of me to ask you to stay here with your condition getting worse.... I'm sure Malleus and Sebek can take better care of you guys than I can... "

You could hear the lump growing in his throat, he was doing everything in his power to not bawl like a child.
