Mesec, are you okay? No he wasn’t, he was so far from okay that he couldn’t even answer that question. He was too busy remembering the concern on Zero’s face when they were in the Thistle Meadow, the last real memory he had of that night that wasn’t borrowed from Lucius. The same concern was present now - concern that Mesec didn’t deserve. How could Zero possibly still be worried about him when it was Mesec’s fault Ampere was gone?

All his fault. He was pestilence and death to those he loved.

But soon, soon he could start making up for it. Why couldn’t Zero find him a few days later? Why couldn’t this reunion happen when there was any other outcome other than the one that was bubbling within him.

Panic over rode his fear when Zero, that brave, foolish, amazing boy, actually took a step forward. His silver eyes widened in surprise and he stumbled backward again, with absolutely no grace. “Zero STOP! You HAVE to go! Don’t you remember what I did?!” He shouted across the space between them, hating himself for yelling at his friend, someone he loved, but this wasn’t something that could be reasoned away with talking. It was happening and he wasn’t going to be able to stop it. And this time, Gaucho wasn’t here to step in - it was just him and Zero in these woods and he feared what the isolation could mean.

There would be no distractions for the monster within him, there would only be the colt before him.

Lucius, his panic rising, turned from Zero and focused his attention on Mesec - pecking and using his talons to try to bring his bonded back to the present

The promises of how Mesec would find him after, that this wasn’t forever, were choked off as that now-familiar pain started and his entire body began to shake as he fell. His silver eyes closed against the pain as his bones began to splinter and shift, as it started to take hold. The next word was a whisper, fracturing in his mouth and coming out in a croak. Please.”

It was already too late to stop the shift from happening but maybe if Lucius helped Zero escape his worst fears would not come true.
