Solus’ Birthday (Part 1)

Solus kept seeing Bytra's memories in her sleep, forced to relive the terrible events that had led Menadion to lose her life after bonding her daughter to the tower.

Even though the old and new tower were nothing alike, when Solus was alone, she could almost see the corpses of Menadion's apprentices and even her own laying all around the place amid pools of blood.

At night it became even worse since it was about the same time when the murder attempt had taken place.

Solus would wake up in tears and trembling in terror, incapable of falling asleep again until sunrise. Whenever that happened, Lith would move to the tower and sleep in her bed, using their bond to soothe her trauma.

She loved the new accommodation and all the hugs and cuddles that came with it, but Lith still found it awkward. Solus was a wonderful young woman and he was a healthy single man who wanted to avoid doing something that they would later regret.
