No, I won’t be afraid
Just as long as you stand by me
Regis was unsteady as he approached the bridge spanning out across the sea, standing closer to his mother’s side than he realized or would like to admit. The ocean itself had always been a fascination of his, and there were few things that matched the joy of running across Delumine’s shoreline and feeling the cool water splash up against his belly and cause his already curly hair to go even crazier, bouncing and slapping against his neck with each stride as he laughed the whole way. But this was different, foreign and honestly terrifying, but Regis tried to maintain a facade of bravery despite it all.Just as long as you stand by me
He had been given the privilege to accompany his mother and the rest of the warriors, along with a number of other citizens whose curiosity couldn’t keep them at bay. Whenever he caught himself in one of their sights, he would always smile and hurriedly keep going forward, unwilling to let fear crack his focused look and rat him out.
Milo trailed ahead of them by a few yards, fleet footed and cautious with every step he took further down the bridge. Strange, fluctuating smells wafted on the breeze that didn’t just belong to the sea, putting he and his young bonded on edge. As they went, Regis looked here and there, to and fro, up and down and side to side, vigilant as he could possibly be. This was so far out of his element that he feared sending himself into hysterics if he let his gaze wander in one place for too long.
“Mom?” The boy spoke up as they continued their trek, having ventured a few more inches away from her in an effort to prove that he wasn’t quite the coward that he actually was. Beneath their feet the ground seemed to slowly be growing thinner, and up ahead, Regis swore he could see the ocean water through it. He looked to her with worrisome eyes of verdant green and cyan blue, his voice tinged with the fear which plagued him as he dropped the confident front he’d clung so desperately to. “What do we do if it breaks?”
He could fly over it easily enough, he was sure, but his worry lay with that of his mother.
