Chapter 77

The ancient silver Sabersythe dragon soars across the Loff toward The Burn's capital, guided by a mystical silver ribbon—a fragment of the shattered world Caelis—that urges her southward. Grihm, a white-haired fae, rides between the dragon's wings as crowds at the Imperial Stronghold witness this epochal event for the first time in eons.

The chapter opens with a vivid scene of the Sabersythe dragon flying across the Loff, her silver scales gleaming like starlight. A silver ribbon trails behind her, dancing and tangling with other threads—these are revealed to be fragments of the shattered world Caelis, bound to the sky and tasked with helping restore what was lost. The ribbon has given part of itself to the Sabersythe in a plea for aid, and the dragon responds not with resistance but with recognition of their shared purpose. As the Sabersythe approaches The Burn's illusive capital, cutting past the Imperial Stronghold for the first time in ages, crowds gather in the streets to witness the extraordinary sight. Among the onlookers' amazement is the revelation that a white-haired fae with tense features and ice-like eyes—identified as Grihm—rides between the dragon's massive wings. The chapter suggests through the ribbon's perspective that Grihm may not yet understand the deeper purpose at work, but that everything, including himself, has a destined place and role to play in the mending of the fractured world.
