“… not sure if that’s better,” she said. “If he’s accidentally setting off natural disasters. That doesn’t seem very controlled.”

"No, well, he's asleep, right? Perhaps it's an extension of unconsciously reaching out."
"The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that." -Karis Nemik
“Maybe,” she agreed. “…Hopefully no one gets hurt. I don’t think he’d want that.”

“…I think so,” she said with a little nod. “He said he wants me as a herald because I’d be a merciful representative. And he said he takes care of dead people. Papa said he’s at rest now… I think that means he’s happy. Or… content, anyway.”

"Interesting. Very interesting." He dipped his head. "Listen, I'm going to my office to write a letter--I need to know how much damage this volcano will cause. But I want to know as much about Haelar as possible, alright?"

“Oh… I thought it was almost morning.” She felt stupid for being in day clothes now, glancing down at herself.

He shrugged. "The shorter the days grow, the less of a difference it makes."

She furrowed her brow at that, shrinking and glancing away.

Gaius glanced at her. "The shortening of the days is nothing to fear, honestly. It's the same as the rest of the year, just colder and darker."

“It’s when Strithr at the very least is waking up,” she pointed out glumly. “If Haelar can accidentally set off a volcano just by dreaming, what will happen when Strithr actually wakes up? And it will be too dark to get help if we need it. We’ll be on our own. For months.”

"Strithr is waking up when the sun goes to sleep?" he asked in alarm. "That doesn't give us very much time at all."

“Oh… I guess I forgot to say that part. Um. Yeah.” She nodded sheepishly. “And wants Jerica to herald. She wants to leave soon to go do that.”
