There was nothing.
The North Star had gone out in his skies. All was dark and no music stirred in his chest. She had been his music. She had been his everything.
How could he sing without air?
How could he stay without a home?
He’d failed her, but she’d failed him the same. They’d never been meant to share a long life but somehow, still, he’d allowed himself to hope. The miracle of her return had seemed too much to be real and now he wondered if he truly had died out there on the search. Perhaps this was hell. Perhaps this was punishment.
Perhaps it was just life. And life wanted him to suffer.
He was not strong enough. As the song rose, Ashlar let the Rise disappear behind him. And he would not look back.
