It was an interesting thing watching the princes of Maradesh grow from small holy terrors into fearsome powerful men. To watch the elder come into his magic, arcane and divine in his blood, blood that stirred with the fire of a red dragon. To watch Sadiq spew flame, wield a scimitar of unsurpassing grace and fire, and make it as much a part of him as his own limbs.
It was just as captivating to watch the younger grow tall and silent, a thing of shadow like the king. To be able to see him one moment and watch him slip into darkness with utter ease, familiarity, like with each jump he was going home. To watch Tahir protect and defend his elder brother, wordlessly, with every fiber of his being.
It was an amazing thing to watch them grow from small children, the elder to bloom like a desert flower, striking and commanding, rising to one day take his father’s place on the throne. An amazing thing to see his brother always with him, like shade from the overpowering sun, protection from the very brightness that once could leech Sadiq's strength away.
It was a sight to see the royal family bloom and grow, and know well the hands the kingdom would soon be in.
