After discovering his lineage Silver sinks into the darkness, saying that he does not want to think about anything and being alone in pitch black is what he deserves.
Silver decides he doesn’t want to go back and would rather stay in the darkness forever.
The light from the ring glows and he is shown the day that Lilia discovered him as an infant, as well as a scene from the past where his father is confirmed dead and his mother flees, leaving him under the protection of faeries.
Lilia guesses that the Dawn Knight’s blonde hair might have come from a diurnal fae blessing, as his own blessing turns the naturally(?) blonde Silver’s hair silver.
Silver struggles with the revelation that he is the son of the Dawn Knight and Queen Leah, saying that he has always seen himself as Lilia’s son but he cannot call himself that any longer and having an emotional breakdown at the thought that Lilia could never love him.
(Silver also appears in the body of the Dawn Knight.)
Sebek discovers Silver in the midst of his mental collapse, where he tells Sebek that Lilia and Malleus must hate him for being the son of their mortal enemy: “How could I ever face them now? How must my father have felt, raising someone who shared the same face as his foe?! He could never love the son of a man he despised! He has to hate me! He has to!”
After Sebek brings Silver back to his senses Silver declares that he will be making his dream happen, a dream of becoming a knight who protects Lilia and Malleus.
With his declaration that he will end their nightmare and make them smile again the ring once more begins to glow, showing Silver an image of his biological father in a dreamway.
