The moment he saw her, he was no longer the unshakable ruler
of a proud Empire. He felt the full reality of his youth. When their eyes met,
he simply became the young boy who had watched the World Tree burn… the boy
that had felt the agony of believing he had sent his sister off to her death.
But here she was before him… alive and whole. Her strong arms offered him
shelter as they held him firmly against her chest. He could feel the tears
stream down his cheeks, but all he could do was hold Mὸrag tighter and whisper her
name over and over again. She was alive and the Imperial Blades of their youth
stood proudly at her side. Aegaeon and Brighid.
His family was finally home.
This took… DAYS… I never appreciated how complicated Aegaeon’s and Niall’s designs are until now. Seriously, major kudos to the XC2 character designers. They all have so much detail! I’m dead.
