But maybe not in time, as they land, six men upon horses begin to come into view.

Each of them in red stained armor, with silver helmets adoring King Zod’s powerful house sigil. “Halt.” One says. “What goes on here?”

𝐾al. @heirofel.bsky.social · 4d

It takes seconds for him to rise, and even short for him to catch Solas again.

“I’ve got you.” He says, in a voice that almost doesn’t sound like his own. Confident, older —- heroic. Slowly, the two began to fade towards the ground.

𝐾al. @heirofel.bsky.social · 4d

Feet plant —- calves flex out, a leap. More than a leap, flight, maybe for the first time. True, guiding, actual flight. Coursing through the air in what feels like free fall, but up.

🌻Solas🌻 @sunsetsol.bsky.social · 4d

— better judgement, Solas dropped from the branch with a terrified little yelp. On the way down, he prayed that Kal really would catch him. If he’d done it once, surely he could do it again?

𝐾al. @heirofel.bsky.social · 4d

“Yes.” Kal says, motioning quickly —- the sound of armor and horses coming quicker and closer. Like he could feel the breath of the rider upon his neck.

“Quickly, Solas —- Jump! Jump, I’ve got you!”

🌻Solas🌻 @sunsetsol.bsky.social · 5d

— down either side of the road to see if they were close. If Kal could hear them, surely they’d be just around the corner.

𝐾al. @heirofel.bsky.social · 5d

Swords, the clattering of metal, the movement of breath. No, travelers maybe, but their intentions lay with aggression.

“Solas we should go. It’s Peacemakers. Hired goons by the crown, they don’t care who you are —-.”

🌻Solas🌻 @sunsetsol.bsky.social · 8d

“I am being-!” Solas started to protest, but he frowned when he saw his new friend glancing around.

“Not usually. This isn’t a main passage through the forest. You think it’s another traveler?”

𝐾al. @heirofel.bsky.social · 8d

“Hey!” Kal said —- a slight jump in his step, like without a second thought. “I said be careful, and yet —-“

He goes quiet, listening, hearing tracks. It sounds like more than five men. “There’s someone coming. Does anyone else use this road?”

𝐾al. @heirofel.bsky.social · 8d

That’s a relief —- I was beginning to think this tall tale had taken my life over entirely. .

. .she wants me to find out who I am. Where I come from. .but I —- [ There are tears that edge at his eyes. ]

—- She said my parents aren’t my real ones. I need to find my. .real ones.

THE CURTAIN RISES! @thiefandlyre.bsky.social · 8d

Believe it or not, that is actually a somewhat familiar situation to me. I wasn't chosen, far from it, but we do have a local god who embodies our kingdom, so I understand! It's a lot of pressure. What does she want you to do?

𝐾al. @heirofel.bsky.social · 8d

She said she was a living form. .of the planet I come from. That my people —- and she. .
. .she said she died. And my people came here as refugees —- I just. .I don’t know.

-- He carefully picked around the higher, thinner branches, bracing each step as close to the trunk as he could. He gasped when one cracked under his weight and quickly swung to the other side.

"Shit," he muttered. "That could've been bad..."

𝐾al. @heirofel.bsky.social · 8d

. .she said she died. And my people came here as refugees —- I just. .I don’t know.

THE CURTAIN RISES! @thiefandlyre.bsky.social · 8d

Believe me, I've got plenty of experience with saviors. It probably won't sound as strange as you think.

𝐾al. @heirofel.bsky.social · 8d

She was a stranger. But I guess she wasn’t —- it sounds too odd to explain. You’ll think I’m crazy.

𝐾al. @heirofel.bsky.social · 8d

THE CURTAIN RISES! @thiefandlyre.bsky.social · 9d

Told by whom, exactly?

𝐾al. @heirofel.bsky.social · 9d

I don’t know. It’s what I’ve been told —-

𝐾al. @heirofel.bsky.social · 8d

“Yea, something like that.” Opening up terrified him —- although he could not admit it. Why? Why would having these gifts make him feel so. .isolated? “I just. .sometimes need to be alone. Feels like I can hear the whole world, and I need to shut it out.”

🌻Solas🌻 @sunsetsol.bsky.social · 8d

“Help what?” he asked, pulling himself up on one of the last thick branches. “You get overwhelmed easy?”

Solas understood the need for quiet, but it seemed that life on a farm would already be quiet. What exactly did a guy like him need to get away from?

𝐾al. @heirofel.bsky.social · 8d

“Yea —-“ Although he can leap over them now, so he doesn’t climb as much. “But I prefer walking.” Which was true.

“Something about just being alone seems to. .help.” He words trailed off as he watched Solas climb higher.

𝐾al. @heirofel.bsky.social · 8d

| scratch that, Fantasy!Lex meets Fantasy!Mercy in the labs of Kandor and they fall for each other bc she’s the only way who is as secretly crazy as him

𝐾al. @heirofel.bsky.social · 8d

| and I think Fantasy!Lex is probably secreting dating Fantasy!Kara but they dare not to tell Zod

𝐾al. @heirofel.bsky.social · 8d

| think Fantasy!Lex and Fantasy!Kal were homies growing up in Smallville (similar to the comics) but Lex’s genius like mind got him noticed by King Zod and he kinda became a sort of Arcane!Jayce for Kondor mhm

𝐾al. @heirofel.bsky.social · 8d

“Now?” He thought for a second —- he was going to go into town, see if Lana was still selling at the local market. But. .it could wait.

“Sure! Yea, we could start —- I’m usually not busy on days like these. .where do you want to jump in first?”

𝐾al. @heirofel.bsky.social · 8d

“Yea —-“ Although he can leap over them now, so he doesn’t climb as much. “But I prefer walking.” Which was true.

— asked, not yet far up enough in the tree to need to yell for him to hear.

𝐾al. @heirofel.bsky.social · 9d

I don’t know. It’s what I’ve been told —-

THE CURTAIN RISES! @thiefandlyre.bsky.social · 9d

Is that what you are?

𝐾al. @heirofel.bsky.social · 9d

Some sort of savior.

𝐾al. @heirofel.bsky.social · 9d

Some sort of savior.

𝐾al. @heirofel.bsky.social · 11d

You don’t remember?
I never knew.

across the sky. Until then though, this is farewell, Kal son of the Kents."

𝐾al. @heirofel.bsky.social · 21d

“I promise. .” He said, maybe to her, maybe to himself. As he turned to run back up to the farm.

“. .I won’t let you down.”

𝐾al. @heirofel.bsky.social · 21d

Tears almost swelled at the edges of his eyes, but a single huff demanded them to draw back. “. .Okay.”
‘Kal?’ The call came again, and slowly he began to separate from her. But it felt like he had already done that —- and this was their second time leaving one another.

𝓚𝓻𝔂𝓹𝓽𝓸𝓷ྉ @motherkrypton.bsky.social · 22d

Ah... Walking toward him, Krypton gently cupped Kal's face. "Then follow Krypto, the white wolf I told you about. No matter how far I am, or how far I go, he'll guide you to me," she said, her voice gentle. "I'll do my best to answer whatever you may have to ask, okay?"

𝐾al. @heirofel.bsky.social · 22d

“What? But you can’t leave I. .” He felt like his heart ached. So many times, so close to people that seemingly drift apart. Lana. Lex —- before he left for Metropolis. “I have so many questions.” Kal says, almost defeated, a whisper turned mumble.

𝐾al. @heirofel.bsky.social · 21d

“No. .no, no hurry at all.” Kal almost mumbled with a roll of his eyes, arms crossing over his chest. “Just. .be careful, y’know. I’ll be. .uh, here.”

🌻Solas🌻 @sunsetsol.bsky.social · 22d

-- someone down here who can catch me if I fall again."

He'd been aching to climb this tree for weeks, and the low branches lured him back in. Even if he'd nearly hurt himself trying before, his stubborn nature would nag at him until he could succeed.

risk. Besides, she gave him a push in the right direction.

𝐾al. @heirofel.bsky.social · 22d

But again. .with all he could do now, everything he felt and knew —- the powers that shifted in him, he could handle anything.

“Sure!” Kal says through a smile. “Yea, I can use the hand. It would help things go quicker around here.”
