Summary
The skyship journey to Emon gives Dorian plenty of time to reflect upon - and, naturally, overthink - recent events. It also gives him and Cyrus the space they need to finally talk things through.

Summary
Dorian Storm, unmoored and free for the first time in his life, blows into a mountain village on winds leading him to the Rift between the material world and the elemental plane of air.
Orym of the Air Ashari has spent the past six years falling into a routine of duty and family after an unexplained tragedy struck Zephrah. It is a numb but comfortable existence, as the Exandria somehow keeps spinning.
✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*
“You’re having fun?” Leeta asks.
Orym rolls his eyes. Six years later and they still dote on him. He’s lucky, he reminds himself. “Yes. Good drink, good music… Questionable company aside, I’m having fun.”
“Plus the good view.” Baernie adds, motioning her mug back towards the bard, now onto another jaunty tune, but this time in a language Orym doesn’t understand. It’s all smooth vowels and soft consonants, rushing into his ear like the very wind itself. He’s already staring by the time Baernie’s words register, and he quickly brings up his mug for another long draw, hoping the tall folk sized drinking vessel covers up any hint of heat he can feel rising to his cheeks. It is a good view. He hadn’t even realized that was something he could still notice.

Summary
Dorian, trying to focus on the remaining swirl of air in his lungs, shrinks into himself. “Not really,” he mutters. “The thing is – I got all I could ever need from Orym. His love, his devotion and care. I have his word, the promise he made to me, of this being what he wants. And I trust him. I trust him when he says he is happy with this, that he is excited to heal with me by his side and that he is moving on with Will’s blessing. It really is just…”
Dorian bites his lip, hoping his two friends somehow get the point he is trying to make. Even though he doesn’t even grasp it himself.
“You want Will and Derrig to tell you it’s okay too?”
It sounds so obvious, voiced like that.
Or: Dorian talks to Will and Derrig.

Summary
In the dark Cyrus whispers, “I’m scared.”
If this were a story, this would be told in flashback. If this were a story, it might be skipped. This wouldn’t be the start. They wouldn’t linger here.
Dorian says, “I’m scared too. Go back to sleep.”
(The music is different now. Spoilers for Episode 93).

Summary
Sometimes, big feelings were easier to run from than confront; Dorian knew that better than anyone. But such things have a habit of pulling you back in, whether you're ready for it or not. When he rejoins Bells Hells, Fearne comes to her old friend for guidance with a problem that’s a bit too familiar for comfort. Now it’s time for Dorian to decide: will he take his own advice? Is it better to keep fighting, or to give into gravity?

Summary
They’d made it to Melora’s temple by sheer fluke. Perhaps it’s enough that he’s surrounded by nature here, like his home in Zephrah. Why Dorian had insisted on being the one to prepare him for the ritual, despite the disciples of the Wildmother being far more capable.
It’s him, sharing a piece of himself - though too little, too late.

Summary
"Orym?" His voice echoes over the mountain, bouncing back to him in an eerie mimicry.
"You must be Dorian," a voice says from behind him. He whips around to find a half-elf man leaning against the tree, long dark hair blowing in the wind. His armor and tunic are familiar, a light blue only a few shades off from his own, and the green sash around his waist is embroidered with cherry blossoms blowing in the wind.
He knows who he is before he sees the ring on his finger.
