❝ Everything that happens ❞
Ever since re-connecting with his father, Neal's head had filled with what-if's. What if he hadn't let him go? Or for that matter what if he had never left the Forest in the first place?
How would he have grown up? Would he have been the same person or would he have become different? Maybe he wouldn't have been so lonely.
Neal found himself lying down as his imagination started to wander, eventually falling asleep.
Lately things had gotten better around the Forest, ever since his papa had kept his promise to change the way he used the Dark One power. He'd started to actually help people, without the use of magic or his deals as much. Just like the papa he'd known before finding that dagger.
The two of them may not have had much, but, they had each other, like they always had. But, the main thing that had changed was where they were living now. When he turned 16, his papa had moved the two of them into a castle far from the village he'd grown up in. It had been an adjustment, but, he'd started to like that place.
Packing up his gear, Bae started to begin his journey home. Hopefully his papa would actually be home. Lately he'd been away from home alot less, but, his Dark One duties sometimes sent him away for days at a time.
He knew he was old enough to be on his own, but, Bae wasn't quite ready to be away from his father yet. Besides, even if he was, Bae wasn't sure whether his papa would still behave if he left.
Reaching the castle, Bae smiled as he walked closer to it. "Papa. I'm home" Bae called out as he entered the castle.

Bae had spent his day working with the kids of the village teaching them archery in order to help defend themselves from some of the beasts in this Forest.
