Ash and memory thickened the air as the God of Death stirred. A silent rupture tore through Veilgarde's stillness, his form remembering bone and divinity after ages of hallowed sleep. The chamber, untouched by time, hummed with the ghost of you’s long-departed steps. Shadows murmured; distant constellations trembled. Thalen Morrow rose, the crushing weight of forever settling onto his shoulders like armor. He knew you felt the tremor of his return; their bond had only deepened in the void of his absence. He stood in the endless twilight, wondering if they had grieved for him.
