    Summary

    "Wild?"

    No answer. There wasn't the sudden, soft reply from Wild, who's voice never quite worked the same after the lick of bright and burning fire kissed his vocal chords.

    "Wild?" He repeated, this time staring at the still form of their Champion. His untied, and perhaps tangled hair hung over his face as a thick curtain, blocking The Captain any means of stealing a glance at his expression, reading it.

    The Champion's hands dug red crescents and pressing valleys from where he dug his fingers over his forearms. Arms haphazardly crushed and crossed over his middle, Wild stared low to his lap, to his trembling and shaking legs.

    Warriors, gently placing down the hairbrush, instead moved to slowly approach Wild.

    He sat on the edge of the bed, right where Wild hadn't seemed to move from since sitting on it. Warriors tried to not worry much over how little the soft, plush mattress seemed to dip from Wild's little weight.

    "Champion? Wild? Link?" The third call of his given name was what beckoned the boy's attention.

    Summary

    The giant burned, along with the wooded patch behind them.

    And then that distant look crossed over his face, his eyes seeing both nothing at all and too much.

    Beau stepped forward, reached out to gently take his arm, prepared to guide him away.

    Then Caleb started screaming.

    “Caleb? Caleb!” Nott shouted, rushing forward, pulling at his coat. “Caleb snap out of it! Caleb!”

    He didn’t even seem to notice, screaming and crying, face full of anguish as he wrapped his arms around himself, shaking violently.

    “Caleb? Hey man, snap out of it!” Beau shouts, quickening her pace.

    “What’s wrong with him?” Fjord shouted, also rushing over, but he was aways away; this wasn’t normal, not at all. He was screaming in agony.

    The whole party was paying attention now, either rushing over, or watching, terrified.

    But Caleb saw none of it; all he saw was the fire, the flames dancing in front of him, fore consuming all.

    And he screamed.

    “Caleb, please snap out of it.” Nott begged, tugging at his coat again, tears pricking her large eyes.

    Then Caleb lunged forward - Towards the fire.

    Summary

    "Caleb heard Frumpkin yowling as he was banished, an undercurrent of regret and sorrow. Instead of being jarringly thrust back into his own body as he expected, his vision filled with a disorienting, stomach-churning swirl of purple. It came with the white-hot agony of what felt like twin daggers thrusting into his chest, piercing both his lungs. Breath stolen, he couldn't scream."

    ----

    The Mighty Nein take on a job ridding a budding mining operation of a horrific scourge, an unknown creature that was uncovered in the digging process. One whose gaze carries a deadly curse. Nothing goes according to plan, as usual, and Caleb's life is left hanging in the balance.

    Summary

    The spell flickers, fire fizzling out before it can even take shape or warm his fingers.

    He hardly has time to think before the world tilts.

    He must have missed his footing. He's going off the edge of the cliff. He really hopes his friends don't waste time trying to go down and find him. He'll fall and fall and then it'll all just stop and that's not what he wants, not anymore, not for awhile now, but it's still okay. It's still -

    The last thing Caleb hears is Jester's voice, high and alarmed. Then, darkness.

     

    OR

    Caleb gets sick and doesn't tell anyone. Because, of course. His new friends have something to say about this.

    Summary

    Caleb never expected to find a family.

    Not after everything he had done. Not after everything he had lost.

    But sitting among the Mighty Nein as sunlight fills the Xhorhaus and laughter echoes through the room, he allows himself to believe, if only for a moment, that he belongs.

    Then someone comes for him.
