Brother's Worry

King Armen and Cian looked at each other, not knowing what to do. Was this bird dangerous? If so, they needed to scare him away. 

'If it was sent to attack her…'

Given the situation around Seren's reality that only King Armen knew, he could trust no one, not even a bird. It might have been sent by those who wished to harm his daughter.

Again there was a loud noise of eagle's screech as he flapped his mighty wings and flew towards Seren. King Armen and Cian gripped their swords but before they could get them out of the scabbard completely, the majestic bird landed on Seren's bed, near her feet. 

In front of his majestic body with the wings opened, she looked terribly small and weak.

Dusk folded his wings back. Seren's gaze followed his movement with half of her face still hidden in the circle of her arms. Dusk lowered his head and rubbed it against her arm as if asking to be petted.
