you always come through for me whenever I post snippets of kavetham fic I am kissing you gently on your forehead and pressing the prologue into your hands

"Prince! Prince, what are you doing here?"
"I'm here to help, please- where is my father?" Kaveh shook water out of his eyes, squinting at his surroundings.
The rain was pouring down, but when it touched the ground, it changed, gaining a thick, oily film and coating every blade of paper-yellow grass. And the smell, Archons, the smell. It was like a garden full of rotting mulch left out in the sun for hours, with a strange metallic scent that Kaveh couldn't place.
Kaveh's horse whinnied nervously, already tired with the flat-out run that Kaveh had urged her into in an attempt to get here faster. The Withering certainly didn't make things any easier on the mare.
The guard chanced a look back, where the noxious red mist was the strongest and the sound of clashing metals and yells echoed faintly.
"Your Highness, you have to go back, Master Tighnari and the King has it under control," he said urgently. Kaveh pushed his hair out of his eyes and shook his head stubbornly.
"No, I'm not leaving without seeing my father!" Kaveh argued. "Wait, look over there!"
The guard whipped around and quick as lightning, Kaveh urged his horse into another run, snapping the reins. He plunged into the fray, unsheathing his sword. His blade caught against a greying fungus, and it took off its head.
He swung wildly, cutting a path through. Even in the dim, poisoned air, he could see his father's crown glinting dully, and it was this that he cut a path towards.
"Father!" Kaveh screamed. "Father, I've come to help!"
"Kaveh?" The King turned, his face morphing into shock. "What are you doing here?"
"I came to help you! Please, father," Kaveh begged. "Come home."
"No. You know I can't." His father turned back, fighting deeper and deeper. It was just the two of them now. All the guards were gone.
"Please! It's not too late to turn back!" Kaveh was walking. Why was he walking? Wasn't he on a horse?
"No." The King took a deep breath, and Kaveh realised that his breaths were starting to rattle. "No. There is no going back from this."
What?
The King looked tired. But more than that, Kaveh realised that he couldn't recognise his face. He knew instinctually that that was his father, but his eyes didn't see his father's face. There was no face.
He tried to speak and realised he couldn't. Then he couldn't see. Couldn't smell.
He had no face too.
Like father, like son, he thought as he suffocated, his screams trapped in his throat and weighed down by his tongue.
"-up, Kaveh! For Goddess's sake, wake up or I'll-"
Kaveh jerked up, dragging deep lungfuls of air into his throat. Each breath tasted metallic, and he squinted up at the face that was slowly coming into focus.
"Ti'nari?" He croaked.
"Good, you can recognise faces. That means the Withering hasn't taken your tiny brain. There's hope for you yet, Your Majesty."
"The Wither'ng?" Kaveh mumbled. His tongue wasn't working. Why wasn't it working?
"You don't remember?"
"Nuh."
"That's… not supposed to happen." Tighnari sounded worried. "But you were hit by the Withering. For some reason, you ran out of the castle, straight into the heart of one of the largest Withering zones in the forest. Your father followed you in."
"Nuh-"
"Kaveh, listen to me-"
"Noh! Tha' cah't be thrue!" Kaveh yelled, tears closing what little airspace he had. He choked on the metallic taste of blood, and his vision blurred.
"Breathe, Kaveh." Tighnari rubbed his back, putting Kaveh's hand on his chest and taking exaggerated breaths. "Look, follow me. In, and out. In… and out. Yeah, that's it. Keep going."
Kaveh keened, dragging in air reluctantly. "Will I recov'r?"
Tighnari sighed. "Possibly. You'll be far more suspectible to the Withering now, though, but I believe you'll make a full recovery. You're too much of a stubborn bastard not to."
"Th'nks." Kaveh smiled, working his jaw to try and loosen the muscles. "Anything else?"
Tighnari looked Kaveh dead in the eye, all joy leeched from him in a snap.
"The king is dead."
oh. oh my god. oh MY GOD IM ?!?@!#? ur writing is killing me im dead im dead im deceased holy shit fuck. ROYALTY AU OMG PRINCE KAVEH ON HIS HORSE??? and tighnari being concerned and annoyed at the same time they. they are Friends ur honour!!!!
