    Summary

    “G’raha Tia,” she says, rolling every syllable of his name on her tongue like one would taste wine, slow and deliberate. “A pleasure, then.”

    She offers him her hand. Slender, elegant fingers peek out of her half glove, a writer’s callus prominent on her middle finger. G’raha beams, as radiant as the sunlight cast over the crystals surrounding them, and takes it.

    Much later, as he looked back and realized he had not fallen in love, but slowly and surely descended into it, he’d be able to point out the smile she offered him that day as the first step down.

    Through (a hundred and) five years apart, G'raha Tia and the Warrior of Light find that happy endings do not come without sacrifice.

    A Crystal Tower and Shadowbringers retelling.
