    Summary

    They were both something more than mortals. Except where Xiao possessed definition, a title, an identity, Albedo was all blank pages and unanswered questions. They were fundamentally similar beings, with immortality and celestial strength promised to them. And yet Albedo found them both to be largely different people. People, he thought, was a much better term to call them than ‘beings,’ as people they were meant to be different. Difference was what made them unique. As beings there was always that promise of same-ness. Of having to share qualities.

    He saw this plainly between him and all the rest of his mother’s creations. But Albedo guesses even then they were different. Not because he was meant to be a person and they were meant to answer a question. But because where she barely glanced at Durin, Rhinedottir held Albedo in her arms and called him Son.

    or

    Albedo investigates the Chasm on a commission, and uncovers truths behind his past far greater than he’d anticipated, bringing in an unlikely Adeptus while he navigates secrets hidden far too deep in the Liyuean Underground.
