"I don't know how well you sleep little one and I cannot promise that you'll never be afraid again, but tonight you will sleep a dreamless sleep. Nightmares shall flow from you this night via our bond. Tonight I will carry this burden. If you need me, think my name Nath and I shall be by your side in the blink of an eye. I shall guard you this I have sworn. Until I withdraw this spell, only those whom you trust shall be able to touch you. All others will find themselves frozen solid." Nath whispers a few words in a language long since lost to time. He rises and turns to Cufre restoring sound to its natural state. "He will be safe for now to rest. Unless he calls for me I will return in the morning."

Nath gets down on a knee, leans in, and whispers for a moment deadening all of the sounds around him. "You are not alone you know. The thought that you are not understood is a prison all its own. Terrible, confining, all consuming. This burden does not need to be carried alone. I joined us to help if I could. You need not trust me on my word let me prove it to you." Nath's voice is soft tinged with loss felt over eons.

Nath allows his face to soften slightly. "You don't give yourself enough credit. How do you think that they managed to do anything at all? You gave us time we would not otherwise have had. Maybe it won't work. However, the first step is up to you. If you want to learn I have had much experience teaching."

Nath schools his face allowing no emotions to show. " Despite your inclinations you resisted admirably you think yourself a danger to Tacien and yet you did what you could to prevent him from being harmed. He wants you to protect him. I can teach you both a thing or two I think. You could gain more control of yourself if you simply learned how and Tacien has what to learn and teach as well." @The Aspiring Archivist

Nath shakes his head as he considers the carnage that his allies wrought. He quietly appears beside Rayvyn and Tacien.

Unperturbed Nath looks at Cufre. "Perhaps. However, what I did was ensure that whoever took him will not be able to keep him for very long." Nath whispers a couple of words that go to Fadran alone. "I tethered him to my mindscape and my soul." @Channelknight Fadran

Nath begins to chant. Nath places a hand lightly on the boy's shoulder while muttering in a tongue long forgotten by time. A brief gold glow envelops the boy. @The Aspiring Archivist

Nath stands. Frowning. Never taking his eyes off the boy.

Nath vanishes his blade and kneels before the bot funneling soft warmth toward him.

"Protect him? You think that you can't do that here? Curious indeed." The heat begins to spread violently across his body. @The Aspiring Archivist

Nath sees the frost and his eyes take on a hard look. He grabs the man with his free hand and hefts him into the air. " Enough of these games." The man's hands begin to glow white hot. "Free him or burn."

Nath's words flow to Fadran alone. "He is terrified. We overwhelmed him before he was ready." Nath allows warmth and care to flow through the link up to the edge of Tacien's mind, but not forcing it across. Nath vanishes faster than thought and reappears beside the metal handed man with a glowing katana of light in his hand. It is casually pressed against his throat. "Release him or I assure you that you will die where you stand."

Nath vanishes and reappears beside Fadran. A warms breeze whispering over all of them as Nath allows his voice to be heard by only the boy. Peace, Tacien. You have nothing to fear from me now or ever. I will not harm you. Who are you afraid of?" Nath's voice is gentle as the lightest spring breeze. He opens a link that opens his thoughts to the boy.

Nath sighs internally. He proceeds slowly into the room. Each step deliberate. His rage at seeing what had happened to the boy and the way he is being pulled in all directions fills him with a level of rage that in the past had turned back gods and their armies. It does not surface however. It remains buried deep in his soul. Instead he allows love and concern as true to show. He kneels beside the brother saying nothing.

"Some. I cannot project myself across multiple realms at once and the number of times I project at the same time increases the strain on me. Additionally, damage to the projections do not effect me, but I will feel any damage as though it were a pinprick." Nath silences his steps as he walks. He stops beside Fadran looking kindly into the room at the boy.

"It's a skill that I am personally able to use due to my nature. Though with sufficient practice one might be able to produce a similar effect using mindscape magic."
