It has been four years since Talon left Dragonstone. Dorne and Umbra were left behind in the care of Morrigan.
Dorne howls at the moon above the walls of Dragonstone, but is hushed by Morrigan. Dorne obliges her wishes and stops howling but keeps watching the moon. He has waited almost four years for his friend and master, Talon, to return. Umbra had also been left behind by her master too.
Dorne stands up and walks over to his usual spot next to the main hearth in Morrigan's shop, Umbra walks into the shop carrying a leather purse, she walks over to Morrigan, who takes the bag from Umbra, she has matured in the past four years and is now the same size as Dorne. Umbra walks from Morrigan over to Dorne and lays down next to him with a loud huff. Morrigan looks up from her work at the two massive canines,
"You two seem down more than usual today, what's up?" Dorne lifts his head at the sound of the door opening, but lowers his head when he sees that it wasn't Talon but another customer. The customer walks over to Morrigan and orders a simple tonic, then they sit down in a chair next to the hearth, right beside Dorne. Dorne lets out a low growl as the customer sits down and his growl is echoed by Umbra, the customer jumps up and moves away from the two direwolves fearfully, Morrigan looks up at the scene and sighs,
"I'm so sorry sir, they're a bit touchy about people sitting in that chair... they lost their masters and that chair was where their masters would sit when they came into the store... they aren't aggressive" the customer looks at the two wolves as they get up and sniff the chair all over, the customer looks at Morrigan sadly,
"I'm so sorry I didn't realise..." Morrigan shakes her head at the customer,
"don't worry about it, not many people know that those two lost their masters... anyway, you're tonic is ready, that'll be two copper pieces" the customer pays for their tonic and leaves.
Dorne walks outside of Morrigan's shop and lays down in the cool grass under the moonlight.
The next morning Dorne wakes up and walks straight out of the gates, he walks out into the forest and doesn't look back.
