He had finally made his way to it. Her resting place. After his conversation with Salem... he needed to do this. He'd been holed up for so long... hiding and not grieving properly. It hurt; it hurt so much still to not see her. She wasn't around Ul'dah. She wasn't around -anywhere-. Not anymore. Not since then... Not since he'd fought in the Grindstone while she went off without him. Without telling him.
A wedding... a bonding... He bit his lower lip as his fingers touched a warm piece of smooth steel in his pocket. The ring of steel. He'd made that... Twelve, Kage had made it moons ago. When it wasn't just a dream being with her. It had been a reality. He wanted to show the whole of Eorzea how much she meant to him. His fist closed around the ring as he brought to his chest and his feet buckled beneath him. He wept, bowing his head. He wept, letting every feeling he had flow.
Kage slowly rose to his feet, wiping his face a little with his free hand. He steeled himself and whispered, "They're right. You're in a better place now. You're free. I hope when it comes to it... you'll let me be free by your side."
He slowly made his way to his new home, his shoulders just a bit lighter than when he made his way to the place.
