Rite of Two Kings II

"What the Hell is going on!" 

Eryth was the first to lower his saber and lift his gaze toward the turbulent skies. He grimaced. "It's a tribulation. It's rare for one to appear at the birth of a hearthstone, but… "He paused, shifting his gaze to me. His eyes softened a little. "Your no ordinary monster. Whatever you two did trigger this Heavenly Tribulation." 

A knot of tension burrowed its way into my chest. "I can't leave, can I?"
