Reunion in defiance of death itself.

---

We crest the next faceless dune, and at last a great oasis city blooms from the endless desert in great splashes of lush green, sacred white marble, and Aethereal blue. At its center, a great tree dotted with fluorescent hollows bursts from the earth.

A garden of souls, Destiny had said. A place where those who lost their lives to this wasteland planet have a chance to be reborn from the Aether.

This is what we've come so far for; shed too many tears and too much blood for.

Could it really give them back to us?

I'll believe it when I see it.
