With me, from the beginning.

A guide at the sites of grace.
A purpose that went beyond the throne.

May grace guide you.

07 / MY ENDING

Age of the Stars.

The ending I chose.

A voyage in 6 memories
The Tarnished faces Ranni's small blue figure among pale roots in a blood-stained cavern.

Where Her Path Led Me.

In the blood-dark hush, I found a fate kinder than grace.

Ranni's blue hand, wearing the Dark Moon Ring, rests against the Tarnished's armored glove.

A Promise in Her Hand.

The years ahead were mine to give, and hers to share.

The Tarnished kneels and holds Ranni's hand beneath the cavern roots.

Where I Belonged.

In her nearness, even exile felt like grace.

The Tarnished stands on dark water beneath an enormous moon filled with stars.

A Thousand Years Under the Moon.

I chose the long night, for no dawn had ever shone so dear.

Ranni looks toward the Tarnished beneath her wide white hat as she invites them to go together.

The Unfathomed World Ahead.

The heavens stretched without end, yet beside her I felt no loneliness.

Ranni reaches both hands toward the Tarnished beneath the blue moonlight.

An Age of Our Own.

Should all the stars grow dim, my heart shall yet be thine.

And so, my journey
became ours.
