Pairing: Calgara/Norland (my sekrit OTP)
He had stood here for centuries, shaking with fury and finally, just shaking his head. There was little he could do but watch silently. The story he knew so well was retold, bringing tears to other's eyes.
It was all crashing down. He was proud that they kept trying--were willing to die, as he was, to die fighting. But they were running, now. Fleeing in the demonic light of the usurper, everything they had sought to protect and reclaim afire. Even their little refuge was crumbling.
The clouds were swallowed by the sky, and he looked straight up at the sun, expecting everything his people had fought for to evaporate under it.
The bell rang.
And rang, and rang. He charged up to it, through cloud and forest and open air. It was intact and alive, and from here he could see everything. Including a shadow with long strides and a strange, pointed shape atop its head.
The man emerged from under the clouds, dusting them off his jacket. He spotted Calgara, and he sank an embarrassed hand behind his head.
"Sorry I'm late," He smiled. "I got a bit lost."
"As did I," said Calgara, "But no more."
