    Summary

    **MAJOR SPOILERS FOR 1X06!! DO NOT READ BELOW!!**

    “Do you have any idea,” Essek demands, voice breaking at last, “what it is like to murder your own mother?”
    For a heartbeat, Caleb does not move.
    Then he nods.
    “Yes,” he says. “I do.”

    A re-imagining of the confrontation from episode 97 from the original campaign, with this new alternate Essek backstory from the animated series, told from Essek's POV. Mostly Caleb and Essek focused, with some canon Jester and Caduceus dialogue.

    Summary

    He thinks maybe it should make him more frightened, that he should worry about the liabilities he has allowed these people to become. It does nothing to temper the joy of being trusted, of being someone worthy of friend. It does nothing to diminish the memory of Caleb’s spellbook in his lap this morning, its owner sound asleep before him; the sweet press of concern behind Jester’s words in his mind the night before as she reached out with sending.
    A rabbit walks into a snare. The snare closes around its throat, killing it. What is responsible for its death, the stupidity of the rabbit or the viciousness of the snare’s purpose?
    The Shadowhand of the Bright Queen walks into the T-Dock, he thinks, and feels sick.

    Two months after surviving the ruin of Aeor, Caleb and Essek return to tie up loose ends.
