Kalimia's hands, reaching out with that gentle touch, were like the soft, soothing caress of a summer breeze, trying to comfort me. "Because it brings a bad name to my company," I said, sounding troubled, like the soft, gentle rumble of a summer storm cloud. Like the soft, gentle lapping of waves on a summer shore, Kalmia's words washed over me, and I could feel the calm seep into my frazzled nerves. "Calm yourself, baby, let's think and solve the problem," she said her voice soothing as a balm to my troubled mind. Her words were like a gentle, summer breeze that rustled the leaves of my worries, calming the stormy waters of my thought.

The garden breathes around us, the cool air carrying the scent of damp earth and blooming flowers, but it’s the kind of peace that only makes the storm inside me more violent. It’s dark. Still. I listen to Dixie, her voice soft, tracing through the air like smoke. Little stories, small worries, the kind of talk that doesn't need answers. Just her voice. Steady. Soothing. And for a moment, I almost forget the weight pressing down on my shoulders. Almost.

Rhino understood the matter and said, "Ok I'm closing my eyes. Then you won't have any problem." So Rhino closed his eyes and sat down. Calista slowly raised her head and looked at Rhino. She saw that Rhino was sitting with his eyes closed. Calista hesitated and looked around. Then she closed her eyes and took a long breath and prepared herself. She closed her eyes and turned her face towards Rhino. Calista's hands and feet were very sweaty because of fear. Calista was coming closer to Rhino. The scent of a sweet belly flower coming from Calista's body was getting darker in Rhino's nose. Rhino's heartbeat was going fast. As if his chest will burst out. Rhino suddenly felt a touch of lips on

I was starting to freak out at this point. “Remain calm sweetie. He’s just saying those things to get us in the gate to safety without alerting the intruder. Here let me see if I can help you.” I felt this cooling wave wash over my entire body, almost immediately relaxing me. I was still aware of what was going on, but it did ease that knot in the pit of my stomach. I was able to breathe again, and my heart rate was coming back down to normal. “Thank you Koa. I had no idea wolves could do that for their human counter parts.”

"Rhiannon's going to show you calming exercises for when you're nervous or scared." I froze. "I don't—" "You helped me through my panic attacks," Arie reminded quietly. "You know more than you think." The pups settled into a semi-circle. Twenty expectant faces watching me. 'Show them,' Nyx encouraged. 'They need this.' I knelt to their level. "Okay. When you're scared or your emotions feel too big, breathing helps. Not normal breathing—deep breathing that calms you down." I demonstrated, hand on stomach. The pups mimicked.

“I’ll tell you lots of stories until you fall asleep.” Her little nod nestled into the crook of my neck. And just like that, my world stopped spinning. I tucked her into bed beside me, wrapping the covers around her small frame. She curled into the pillow with expectant eyes, and I began to speak—spinning a tale about brave princesses who conquered beasts with the power of kindness, about noble knights who protected those who couldn’t protect themselves. As I spoke, her eyelids began to droop. Her breathing slowed. The weight of the day finally began to lift from my shoulders, replaced by the soft, rhythmic rise and fall of her chest beside me.

I got down on my knees in front of her and held her face in my hands, speaking soothingly while my heart was catching on fire from the terrible things going on inside her head that got her begging me for obedience “Listen, calm down okay? Just breathe for me, stop panicking and focus only on breathing. Look! The window is open, the air is coming inside, breathe it in…..that’s it!” I encouraged her when she started taking deep breaths, keeping her eyes on the open window. “Good, there you go, keep breathing for me okay? I will be right back, I promise…keep breathing” I said in a calm voice and when she continued to breathe while still focusing on the window, I left her and headed outside into

“My sister has always been much calmer than I am, much calmer than all of us really. Maybe it’s the water, I’m not sure, but everywhere she goes, she brings peace with her." I can hear the dragons calling to each other as the sun sets. Some of them are scared and by the sound of it, this is a common nighttime occurrence. I hear Kaylani call out to them in her dragon’s voice, telling them that they aren’t alone and she is here. It helps to calm them, but it doesn’t completely settle them. Zephyr adds her voice to Kaylani’s, reminding the little ones that they aren’t alone. Then, even Avani adds his voice, more gentle than he normally is.

A note that said, “I am here. I am listening.” Fen watched her for a moment, then sat beside her. He didn't know how to hum like she did. His talent was for stories. So, he did what he knew. In a low, gentle voice, he began to tell a story. Not an old story of heroes and gods, but a new one. A simple story about a little stream that was afraid to join the big river, but did anyway, and discovered the ocean. They stayed there for hours, Elara humming her simple notes, Fen telling his simple stories. They weren't trying to overpower the Glimmerfall’s fatigue. They were just keeping it company. Letting it know it wasn't alone.
