[ it was a long trek to get where they needed to go. there were more tourist-traveled paths. safer ones. but this one comes from memories long past so loki let his feet guide him to where they needed to be. it's strange. the land has changed, the people has changed and yet, it feels no different, even on this unknown earth.

perhaps that is simply the nature of gods. their stories tie them everywhere.

he glances at sephiroth. ]

You're not cold are you?

[unkindled_madness]

Does the idea appeal to you then?

[dothelokimotion]

[ a brief pause. ]

. . . I think it does, actually.

[unkindled_madness]

Because of the role, or... because he exists there?

[dothelokimotion]

My father is gone. Whatever resides in your world is a facsimile of him. The story taken root and given life.

So I would say the former.

[unkindled_madness]

[He nods slowly.]

It is the way he will be remembered there.

[dothelokimotion]

That suits me fine.

[ he squeezes sephiroth's hand. ]

And it has little to do with me.

[unkindled_madness]

No.

[He looks skyward again.]

And I confess I find it strange that anyone should think this sight so ominous.

[dothelokimotion]

It was a different time then. A lot was unexplained.

That's why the stories exist.

[unkindled_madness]

Why not explain it as something wondrous?

[dothelokimotion]

I think it's because it felt overwhelming. Sometimes majesty can feel oppresive.

[unkindled_madness]

I think we can do better.

[dothelokimotion]

[ his lips twitch. ]

So we should come up with our own myth?

[unkindled_madness]

Why not?

I think perhaps... it's something more celebratory.

[dothelokimotion]

It's not a bad idea.

Where would we start?

[unkindled_madness]

It does look something like a procession. Perhaps they're gathering to witness a great event.

[dothelokimotion]

Like a delayed reaction to our wedding?

[unkindled_madness]

...perhaps.

Who's to say these lights are bound by time, anyway?

[dothelokimotion]

Perhaps it is our blessing. From the worlds beyond.

[unkindled_madness]

It does seem fitting, doesn't it?

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki leans against him. ]

It does. A fitting culmination to our journey.

[unkindled_madness]

[Sephiroth draws him in. He wouldn't mind a little warmth either.]

A culmination? I thought we were just beginning.

[dothelokimotion]

The culmination of one part, then.

[unkindled_madness]

An opening arc, perhaps.

[dothelokimotion]

A fitting end to a prelude.

We should commit our story to word, someday.

[unkindled_madness]

...I think that would be an intriguing exercise, to write it together.
