When your eyes meet, you realize that in front of you kneels an elf, pointed ears slightly hidden behind the dark curly hair that falls into his piercing eyes that are unreadable. As you reach for his hand, looking for a tether that will ground you as your body shakes, you don't really care if he's an enemy desiring to have your blood on his sword or just someone who will use you as many others did before. He tentatively takes your hand in his larger ones. 

"I-I can't... breathe," you cry out, shaking. At this point, you aren't even crying, only heaving for breath, and the silence in your mind is deafening. He looks at you mercilessly, his eyes are devoid of any emotion, and his cold hands send chills down your spine. He watches you struggle for a long time before he puts his cold hands on your lips instead and murmurs something in Ancient Language that you cannot comprehend through the loud white noise in your mind.

Immediately, you feel his magic filling your body as a feeling of peacefulness floods your system slowly but surely. You attempt to talk again, but he keeps his fingers firm on your lips, signaling you to remain quiet, and you defeatedly obey. Your mind is still screaming loudly, but you know he's making sure the panic leaves your body, so you stop shaking. Slowly, your breath evens out as you gaze into his dark eyes, but your tears keep falling - silently now. 

Once you calm down, he lifts his hands from your body immediately. When he looks into your eyes again, you see emotions flicker in his gaze for the first time. Sorrow, pain, loss, and then nothing, just dark abyss again. 

"Please," you whisper quietly. You don't know what you're begging for. Please tell me my dragon is alive. Please slit my throat with your finest dagger if my dragon is dead. Please. 

He gulps slowly, Adam's apple bobbing up and down. He locks his gaze with yours. Your eyes fill with tears again, and even if you feel his magic easing into you again, trying to take your pain away, this time, it doesn't help. 

"Your dragon is dead, dragon rider," he whispers to you.
