    “Don’t cry, Dimitri,” Claude had whispered, “You’re safe. You are safe.” Dimitri had known, then, that he was real. None of his hallucinations had ever tried to comfort him. No one had ever comforted him but Claude, and Claude was here, and he was real-!

    In that moment, Dimitri had shattered like a broken vase filled with water. The tears ran over and they wouldn’t stop, couldn’t stop.

    After the events of Verdant Wind, a discovery made in the ruins of Shambhala changes the course of the future for a pair of runaway princes.
