Summary
There was a tale Legundo had read once, of a woman whose lover was taken away by dark fey creatures, to a palace under a hill. To get him back from the evil Queen of Air and Darkness, she had to hold him tight and not let him go, although he turned into all manner of things;
A snake, sharp fanged and venomous. A bear, so large she could barely keep her slim arms around him. A bird whose wings she had to crush in her hands. A snowflake, a breeze, a memory— until finally he became a flame that burned her so horribly that her tears eventually put the flames out, and her lover was there again, naked and trembling and weeping himself.
"Well Doctor, what's it going to be?" Scott asked, his face near healed now, his right eye visible beneath the fracture of his brow. The white was bruised with burst blood vessels, giving Scott a dangerous, uneven look as he stared at Legundo, legs crossed neatly, blood mopped away.
"… I'll try," Legundo nodded slowly, heart pounding. "I'll try to help Owen."
