Silas found him at night.
"You're not afraid," Silas said.
"I should be," Kael replied.
Silas nodded.
"So should I."
They stood in silence.

Silas removed their mask slightly.
Not fully.

Kael studied them.
A quiet connection formed.
Not warmth.
Not fire.
Something steadier.
Sorry about the confusion guys but please bare with me about the change and the chapters that a changing.
