Before Yorun awoke to begin crafting the armour made from Ghairlakriars scales a community of souls, the people of Kurinet, spending their time within the realm of Faelerm begin to get restless in the land of Artiel. Three souls in particular walk through Artiel speaking with others as they wonder about the last living member of their family but as they wander around Jinarl flies down to them from above, his great big wings wrap around himself under his cloak acting as if they're a secondary cloak.

"I had heard you were asking about myself and several things do with this this realm you three. If you have any questions you can ask me at any time" Jinarl said as he looked at them

"We hardly wished to distract you from your duties" Lina said

"Well, there are a lot of Kai Tamar here and more than that Raeknar themself is well themself so we hardly need to do much we only do so because we wish to. Now what is it you have been asking?" Jinarl asked

"We asked about your past at least as much as anyone here knows" Rayne said

"We asked about Faelerm as well as the realm we first arrived in" Jaynle said

"And most importantly we asked if there was anyway to get information about my husband, their father Yorun" Lina said

"I can give you answers on all of what you wish to hear of, so I assume you want to know of Yorun first and he is doing fine. He has gotten stronger than you'd ever likely expected from him, he has an army and allies. He has learned of a great many things from multiple places visited places you'd hardly believe he'd have ever gone to before all this and more than that, I've directly spoken to him" Jinarl said

"Y-you have!?" Lina shouted surprised

"Yes" Jinarl responded quickly

"Why? Why would you have spoken to him?" Jaynle asked confused

"Guess that counts as a question of my past, Yorun is Raeknars chosen mortal in the living world just as I was a long, long time ago. He had questions and I was permitted to step into the realm of the living to give answers which were related to my past. He wanted to know about the previous chosen but he didn't come out of the venture with just answers, he came out with well... Her body" Jinarl said as he motions with his head over to Dorancia in the distance, to the large soul of Ghairlakriar in it's skies

"Our father killed that?" Rayne asked confused and shocked

"She wanted death and she was granted it, Yorun decision to kill the oldest dragon in existence with but a single touch" Jinarl said

"Is... is there any way for us to go to that realm that we first arrived in? Where we can see the world, see him?" Lina asked with almost pleading eyes

"The realm you speak of has never had an official name, it is simply a stop along the way to here to ease the soul, it's to give a last goodbye so I gave it a name some many years back, I called it The Wayrest and yes you can go there so long as a Kai Tamar or Raeknar is with you to take you there. If you three wish to go right now then I shall take you there" Jinarl said much to the three's surprise

Lina, Rayne and Jaynle all look at each other then nod before they turn to Jinarl.

"Bring us there, we need to see him" Lina said

"Then that we shall but be warned he does look worse for wear" Jinarl said causing the three to look a little worried

Jinarl opens a portal to The Wayrest and steps through into the Kolakinta Mountain Fortress within the very room Yorun sleeps. For the first time in so long the wife and children of Yorun see his current state, burns across him still with half an arm missing.

"I... I can't believe it... h-how did this happen to him?" Lina asked

"The burns you know, you all suffered in those flames but the arm is a wound inflicted by a god, that day he died a second time but don't worry he has mostly adjusted" Jinarl said

"Mind giving us a moment?" Rayne asked

"Sure" Jinarl said as he walked through the nearest wall into the hallway full of undead guards

Lina, Rayne and Jaynle all sit on the bed but it doesn't sink down where they sit yet all the same they sit upon it as if it were both there and not. They disregard that though as they look upon Yoruns face.

"Father's still fighting for us and he's gotten so hurt doing so..." Rayne said

"He is... He truly cares for us more than anything, no matter what we must continue to believe in him" Lina said drawing the attention of the other two as they nodded

As they looked away from Yorun for the briefest of moments his eyes begin to open and they look at him once more as they notice him stirring and they see the recognition in his eyes they know he sees them but as he shoots awake the see that moment disappear. Yorun sits up and holds his hand to his face.

"Starting to go crazy aren't I?" Yorun said to himself before sighing and getting up teleporting new clothes and the cloak on himself while doing so

They watch Yorun as he leaves and they quickly follow out the door where they see Jinarl.

"He saw us, for only a minute but father saw us how?" Jaynle asked voicing the confusion her brother and mother feel as much as she does

"His abilities allow him to see the dead whether old or new, even if they aren't truly there remnants of the people or the souls themselves waiting to go to Faelerm from The Wayrest. It typically only happens in places of great death but sometimes sleep gets you close enough to feel the other side align your senses to it. Only while asleep though his abilities allowed it to persevere for just a moment... Long enough to see his beloved watching over him as he works to bring you back. You can spend some time here in The Wayrest watching but it is best you get back sooner, this realm is not meant for long term soul inhabitation" Jinarl said

"Then for now we'll keep watching and then return" Rayne said receiving a nod

All of them followed and watched Yorun as he began to craft along with Golaniers help the armour made from Ghairlakriars body, trips over two weeks into The Wayrest allow them to watch the entire process seeing the different man he has become how much stronger he has grown both physically and magically even despite what he has been through. Once the armour has been completed they watch as its tested and they see the terrifying visage others will soon see as they watch from atop Ghairlakriars corpse.

"With that armour he'll be safe and he'll bring us all back" Lina said with a smile

"Our father the hero, never thought we'd see the day huh Rayne?" Jaynle asked with a small laugh accompanying her words

"I know right? Go get them father, bring us back" Rayne said

They watch as Yorun heads back into the main part of the fortress before Jinarl returns to Faelerm with them, they are happy to see Yorun is doing well and they return to the other souls from Kurinet and tell them of what has been accomplished, how much has been done to bring them back and they rejoice as souls upon souls of the people of Kurinet praise the survivor of their villages massacre with no way for the man himself to hear it...
