    Summary

    “The door remained hidden and the air was cold, lapping at him like waves in the distant seas of songs. The shadow enveloped him with a father’s tenderness. The world was slowly waking up. He was soaked to the bone, and the sun shone weakly upon his brow. Thorin Oakenshield was alive.”

    Against all odds, Thorin survives the Battle of the Five Armies. Bilbo, grappling with his feelings, decides to stay in Erebor. But when the magical ring he’s been keeping secret starts whispering to him in the night, Bilbo knows he must heed its call. Thorin follows him, haunted by a strange vision. A second journey, a kingdom’s rebirth and many terrible truths await them under the mountain…

    Summary

    It is exhilarating as always, to take flight and have Cloud jump after him, using boulders and collapsed infrastructure as footholds as they ascend higher and higher. In those moments, Sephiroth can see what his beloved has yet to realize himself: Cloud is desperate to return to the skies.

    After all, it's no coincidence that Cloud chose an occupation that keeps him on the move, that has him endlessly travel the land back and forth. Though a poor substitute, this must satisfy his ingrained instinct for reunion at least enough for him to function.

    Whether Cloud accepts it or not, as he is Sephiroth’s lodestar, so Sephiroth is his.
