He felt...something. barely, but it was there touching his head. Breath wheezing, he struggled to open his eyes, body struggling to move as they fluttered open. His vision was blurry, but the darkness that threatened to overwhelm him was welcoming.

With a last ditch effort, he strained to see clearly, and what he saw nearly stopped his heart. "Irune?" His voice was hoarse from not being used for so long, his mind unable to comprehend what he was seeing. He hadn't seen any of them for so long, but he remembered every single one of them. Had he finally crossed to the other side to meet them?
