In the shadowed depths of the Fey cavern, where the air hummed with ancient magic, the flickering light of a central fire cast elongated silhouettes upon the stone walls. At the heart of this sacred space, Conall and Borra stood—two formidable leaders of the Dark Fey—engaged in a heated discussion. Conall's voice, calm and reasoned, contrasted sharply with Borra's fervent and impassioned tone.
Amidst their debate, a figure stood apart, leaning against the cold stone wall. Udo, the Tundra Fae, observed in silence. His arms were crossed over his chest, his posture relaxed yet alert. The usual warmth in his demeanor was absent; his expression was cold, his gaze distant and contemplative. Gone was the gentleness he displayed when teaching the young Fey to fly or when tending to their needs. In this moment, he was a mere observer, a silent sentinel, absorbing every word, every nuance of the conversation.
His wings, usually a soft white, were tucked neatly behind him, blending seamlessly with the cavern's icy walls. The faintest shimmer of frost clung to his form, a testament to his elemental affinity. His horns, delicate yet distinct, framed his face, adding to his ethereal presence.
As Conall and Borra continued their discourse, Udo's mind raced. He weighed the implications of their words, considering the future of their kind. His silence was not one of ignorance but of deep thought, a reflection of his role as a guardian and mentor. He understood the gravity of their decisions and the impact they would have on the young Fey entrusted to his care.
In this moment, Udo was not a teacher or a caretaker; he was a strategist, a thinker, a protector of his people. His presence, though silent, was a reminder of the responsibility they all bore.
