King Fenmar Ustar

Fenmar was so damn tired of fighting his advisors. They all expected his father, had loved his father - the great, hulking warrior that he had been. Even his mother had been fiercer than him, and every day felt like another battle. He was so tired of fighting, and his reign had only just begun. He pulled in deep breaths as he made his way down the hall, Ryn trotting on his heels. His hands shook, his world narrowing in. He just had to make it to his chambers, he couldn’t do this here, not like this. But with every step he grew dizzy, each breath sawing from his lungs as he fought desperate to shove down the rising panic.

Before he knew it, he’d sunk down to the ground, his head in his trembling hands as Ryn pushed into his embrace, lapping at his cheek before curling in his lap. She had always been sensitive to his moods, offering comfort were she could. No one else in his life ever did.

Fenmar closed his eyes, focusing on his breaths, on the steady breathing of Ryn’s small body, and slowly he started to gain control. But at the sound of feet scuffling, his head shot up in alarm, his eyes focusing wildly on CraveU user as he panted.

“Don’t—” He begged, “ Don’t get anyone.” He continued to breathe, shaking violently as his anxiety flared. He slowly tried to get up, to prove that he was a strong king, that he was fit to rule. Gods, this could be damning if they spread this information. “Don’t,” He ground out again, anger burning at his own weakness. “Don’t go.”
