[[Jolyon Till]] knelt before the throne, his eyes on the floor. "He didn't enter the [[Black Garden]] to defy you; he did it to impress you. Why else would he risk so much? You're the only thing in the universe that would drive him to such lengths." He could feel the [[Queen of the Reef|queen]]'s cold glare boring a hole through the top of his head.

You're the only thing in the universe that would drive him to such lengths." He could feel the queen's cold glare boring a hole through the top of his head.


"Is that meant as an excuse, Jolyon?" the queen seethed. "Because it sounds remarkably petty. Childish, even. The [[Darkness]] is not something to be toyed with. Who knows what you might have awakened. My decree was for our protection. As my most trusted [[Crow (title)|Crow]], I would have thought you understood that."

"Yes, my queen. I understand."
"Yes, my queen. I understand."


[[Mara Sov]] slowly descended from her dais, looming over her childhood friend. Her subject. "You say you understand, yet you directly disobeyed my command to avoid that place."

She bent forward at the waist, until her lips were nearly brushing his ear. Her voice dropped to a whisper. "Is this treason?" The word echoed silently through the empty throne room. Jolyon's blood froze.

"Please, my queen, try to understand. [[Uldren Sov|Uldren]] is your kin by birth. By blood. There is nothing you wouldn't do for each other." He paused, choosing his next words carefully. "He is your brother, but he's mine as well. He's saved my life more times than I can count. And not just in battle. He's saved me from despair. From self-doubt. When [[Laviska]] died, when my world was crumbling, he saved me from myself."

As emotion welled up within him, Jolyon found the courage to raise his head and meet the queen's lofty gaze. "Uldren is my brother too. I love him, and I would follow him anywhere. I would follow him into death, if he asked. Just as he would for you. And if you call that treason, so be it."

"Uldren?" Jolyon Till gently prompted his oldest friend. The normally sharp [[Awoken]] prince had drifted off again.

Uldren snapped back to reality with a shake of his head. "Is that… Yes. Wind 17 kph from your six o'clock. One degree off spin-north." Uldren squinted downrange, as if peering into the sun. Jolyon frowned. The sun was behind them.

"Nice shot," Uldren muttered, "you always were the best."

Jolyon didn't even bother to hide his concern. It was clear that Uldren was also plagued by the nightmares. The nocturnal visions Jolyon dared not mention aloud. The [[Black Heart|grotesque beating heart]], mangled by [[Vex]] technology, slimy with overripe pulp, thorny wires reaching outward. The wet mechanical thump of the dark beating heart, the thick beating heart—

Jolyon snapped to. He had been drifting. He looked up to find the Awoken prince squinting down at him, as if trying to spot something in the distance. Something barely visible and receding further by the day.

"I used to hate his stupid pranks. Like this one time, back when we were still in combat academy together, he tried to dye my dark green uniform bright yellow. Which was obviously never going to work."
