Dagen returned home. He looked awful. I would’ve chalked it up to the fact that he’s been at war with the demons at our borders, but I found him in the memorial room. Sitting by Mother’s statue. He let me sit with him. After a while, I asked what was wrong. He told me Kathreen really wants children, but a healer confirmed he isn’t capable of bearing them. Of all the problems I’m capable of fixing, I really wish I could fix this one. Because if anyone deserves to be a father, it’s my brother.
