They were nearly ready to leave now. The wagon was packed, the house empty of most of their things, and most of their plans roughly set in place (they'd all head toward a portal and figure the rest out from there). Still, there was one thing left to do, a thing that Remi had been avoiding thanks to the heaviness of his heart.

"The capture the sun festival is likely happening somewhere...Aoife would have loved it." The alchemist murmurs to the babe in his arms. "You could have shown your younger brother all the things there were to see. Could have told him the myth of it all."
Sitting down Remi holds up a shiny bit of volcanic rock he'd brought back from the Climb. "For Safrin, so that she forgets about the sun, and it stays light forever and ever. Shall we throw it into the ocean for her together?"
