Fate [4]

The Fate Clouds were only the final ointment that healed the camel's back.

It started with Elena's efforts and the Golden Dragon Royal Family's firm will to protect, grew with Hedrick's domineering speech, and finally reached the precipice when the golden sky emerged.

Irrationality gave in to forced acceptance of reality, and with acceptance, the irrational negative sentiments clouding the atmosphere also calmed down significantly.

Hope spread.

And Astoria could feel it all from her perch within the central Fate Cloud.

All people became orbs of light, colored differently depending on the trajectory of their fate and the fates they were connected with.

It was beautiful, it was intriguing, and it made Astoria feel like she'd finally found a missing piece of herself that she'd been desperately wishing to find for so long.
