Lachlan raised his head to the sky as he strode through the forest. How am I ever to find him here?Tavon wept bitterly. His hair was being torn out and his blue eyes muddy with grief. A circle in the dirt was roughly trodden on around him. As he cried, he became unaware of the world around him. Mud streaked his tawny pelt and blood had dried on him from a battle with a briar patch. He was haggard, appearing decades older than he was, a decrepit lump on the ground, dark fur sticking together, blue wings covering him. To a human, he would be barely visible in the darkness.
At that moment, he ran into something furry, tripped on it, and tumbled down beside the thing. He quickly leaped up, and looked down at the mangy creature, then realized with shock that it was Tavon, his father.

"Father?" He said softly. "Reagan and I are fine, why are you out here?"
