Mother's Brightest from Magdalena
Heiassa, forgive any doubts - I'm more than a little shaken.
Are you sure his name is Jerun, not Jaedien(m) or Jaeril(f)? Are either of those names familiar to them? The person you describe, including the manner in which they 'died' ... that person should be Mother's Brightest. It's a mistake to consider him a Fae of Light - rather, he's a Fae that had to die for the Pruning to succeed at all.
Jaedien embodied the nurturing light under which our trees grow - He could bring life back to even the most battered and scarred trees, recovering them from fire, pestilence, even wonton logging - if there was a bit of root or seed, he could regrow a whole grove in less than a decade. If you've truly found him, you MUST keep him safe at all costs. Not only because he can help us to restore lost groves, but more than that, the other two you described from that vision... Sister Temira and Brother Galfen... they're still alive - if they know that Jadien is back, they may come hunting.
I believe that between you and Kaide, you could fend them off long enough to make a reasonable escape... if they come at you individually, you may be sufficient to force them to retreat, but we can't leave Jaedien unprotected. If it's him, there's a place you should take him on the coast - I need to review my journals, I'll send you the location when I can - it's near the ancient home of the trolls, maybe 'on your way' for your other mission.
If it's truly him, I owe a substantial debt for protecting me when many thought I was nothing more than a parasite... I don't want to lose him again.
