Love How Tumblr Has Its Own Folk Stories. Yeah The God Of Arepo We’ve All Heard The Story And We All

Love how tumblr has its own folk stories. Yeah the God of Arepo we’ve all heard the story and we all still cry about it. Yeah that one about the woman locked up for centuries finally getting free. That one about the witch who would marry anyone who could get her house key from her cat and it’s revealed she IS the cat after the narrator befriends the cat.

Farrens Death (au)

Farren had been killed, he had gotten in the middle of a fight in a tavern in the kingdom of Septrum to try and stop it

Though the guys were bigger and by the time that the guards had come to try and stop them, Farren wasn't breathing

Rowan since he had been travelling with Farren, was the first to know, and it had broke him

Eduardo was the second to know, he got a letter one day the morning of work, he had been walking with Salamander out the door when he noticed he had got a letter

"Give me a second Sal! Let me just read this" he said as he grabbed the letter

Oh! An Septrum seal, must be from his brother, he thought as he smiles brightly ripping open the envelope

He starts to read and his smile fades, and tears form onto his eyes

Sal was the third to know as he looked back to see Lalo, the happy go lucky cheery friend, break down in the middle of the road

He didn't go to work that day, instead he visited Victor and Deuce

Holding the letter tightly in his hands as he knocks on the house door

Lisa was the one to open it- she's older now, she's 13, so when she sees her uncle standing there crying, she knows something is wrong

She drags him in and offer him tea, then calls for her brother and brother in law

Victor is the first to go downstairs and check on Lalo, he sends Lisa out of the room,she protests but does leave, staying outside the door to eaves drop

Deuce was with Victor as well, as the three men sit around the table, Lalo struggling to talk so he shows them the letter

And Victors eyes widen, and he covers his mouth

"He's de-dead?" Victor felt himself feel many emotions, anger and sadness being the two main ones

Eduardo and Farren were his best friends, they helped him through so much, and he was pretty sure he wouldn't be here if it wasn't for them

And now Farren was dead-

Victor felt himself tear up as well, it was as if his brother died, and Deuce had to hug him so he wouldn't break down

After a while they called Lisa in, once everyone was calm,

Lisa felt the sadness in the room and asked what happened

"Your uncle Farren died.."

"What-What?" She had to hold onto the table for support "Fay?- uncle Fay?" She looked at Lalo, as if hoping he would say it wasn't true as if it was some cruel joke

But it wasn't

That night the four of them had dinner together,and spent time together as they worked through the grief

Jaskier and Salamander came by after Jaskiers work shift to check on them, and to bring them some snacks, spending some time with them as well, to comfort them, though eventually the two did leave

The day after was similar to the night before, not alot of talking, but definitely spending time together, appearently watery skies had heard the news and we're on they're way to serenity to pay they're respects,

The wake was going to be in serenity, appearently Septrum was going to be bringing the body

The morning after, surprisingly came alot of people to visit the four of them, old workmates of Lalos, old friends of Victors, even old travel buddies of Farren to pay they're respects

The day was hard for everyone who cared for Farren, though Victor, Deuce, Lisa and Lalo all stayed together, that night Victor was sitting with Eduardo, going through some books for Lisa when Lalo spoke up

"I think..I'm gonna travel to Septrum before the wake, to visit Rowan"

"How do you think he's doing?"

"Not good, he loved my brother, I know he did.. I'll visit there soon"

Days go on and Eduardo was there, in Septrum, a place he had never even heard of before his brother and brother in law traveled there

He walked through the busy streets on his way to the town inn, he had received a letter from Rowan telling him where he was staying

What was Lalo really planning? Honestly just to be there for Rowan while both of them grieved, and maybe convince him to go back to Serenity for the funeral

He walked over to the inn walking in, it had been so long since he traveled anywhere outside of Serenity- well actually ever, he had never been outside of Serenity, maybe a few times he ran out to the mystic forest with Victor and Farren when they were younger but that's it

So this was new to him

He walked over to the stairs walking up, pulling Rowans letter from his cloak and scanning the paper to look for his Inn number

7, huh... Farrens lucky number, he shooks his head and walked to room 7, knocking before leaning against the wall

Rowan, the tall dark elf opened the door, seeing Lalo and letting him in

The night goes on as so, they talk and catch up, Rowan explains how Farren died, and Lalo makes dinner for both of them

The next few days go on as so, Lalo and Rowan talk or do something together, Lalo ends up cooking dinner because he wants to, and so

On the third night, Lalo brought Rowan his plate of food, Rowan was sitting Infront of the window looking down at it

"Something on your mind?" Lalo said sitting down

"You should leave town tonight" he said suddenly

Lalo stared at him confused, Rowan wasn't even looking at him when he said that, just looking at the busy streets

There was a few moments of silence before "Why?'

Rowan stared at the town a tad bit longer, before looking over at Lalo
