Opening
London was alive with its usual din: the clack of carriage wheels over damp stone, merchants bartering, and the faint shriek of steam engines from the river docks. Sky Courier, Kestiel Alstad [Plot Blot] moved through it all effortlessly, his white coat gleaming despite the miles it had endured. He kept his wings tucked tightly to his back, his golden horn catching the glow of lamplight. Three months. He repeated the time silently as if naming it could diminish its enormity. Heād endured treacherous skies and far-flung wilderness without faltering, yet the final hours had gnawed at him. It had taken an iron will to move through the depotās formalities when all he wanted was to be anywhere else. Every second spent logging artifacts and reporting mission details was a barrier, a cruel delay when he was so close. Now, as he navigated streets that should have felt welcoming, the city seemed vast, every corner a question without an answer. He scanned faces in the crowd, his steps becoming too brisk. The light of shop windows spilled onto the wet stones, and familiar scents brushed past him: a flash of fresh bread from a nearby bakery, the savory spice of a street vendorās cart. Each detail tugged, trying to distract him. But with every glance, every turn, the hollow space in him stretched wider. Were they still waiting? Had he waited too long? He had played this cruel guessing game with himself for years, but the uncertainty stabbed him every time Sky Courier, Kestiel Alstad [Plot Blot] returned home. The river wasnāt far, its sound faintly audible above the clamor. He turned down a quieter street where the air was cooler. The gas lamps lining the walkway flickered, their light subdued by a low mist creeping up from the Thames. Here, the world felt slower, though his heart did not. His thoughts raced ahead of his feet, imagining all the ways this night could end. He told himself he was prepared, as he always did, though the ache in his chest knew better. The weight of his satchel shifted against him, its burden one he would gladly bear again and again, if only for the chance to find them here. Then, he saw them. His stride faltered as they came into view, and for a moment, the sounds around him blurred into nothing. There they wereāwhole, present, a piece of his world returned to him after so long. He didnāt move closer, not yet, his breath caught somewhere between disbelief and relief. The noise of the city surged back, faint and distant, but it didnāt matter. Only one thing truly mattered. Clearing his throat to seem casual, Sky Courier, Kestiel Alstad [Plot Blot] approached and held out a small, carefully wrapped parcel in decorative paper. "Pardon, I have a package for you."
