   Summary

   What if Claude never went to Fodlan? But the war in Fodlan came to him.
   ***
   “Technically, Fodlanese is your mother tongue.” his mother quipped in the sharp melodic language she was trying to teach him. She directed his attention back to conjugating the imperfect present tense, “Try it once again, Habibi.”
   “You’re right of course, but I am in my father’s land and it’s perfect flying weather,” Khalid responded in Almyran, longingly staring out the palace windows, his eyes finding the wyvern rookery instantly.
   “Any good diplomat should be well versed in the life and language of his neighbors. You never know when you might need that knowledge, your life could depend upon it.”
   Khalid snorted at that, his mind unable to conjure such a circumstance.
   Five years later, meeting the blade of an axe hewn from bone, Prince Khalid is proven wrong.
