Miracle

Regrets. It's something that everyone has experienced or harbor thoughts of at least once in their life. Whether it's regrets for an action they shouldn't have done, regrets for something they should not have said, or simply regrets of not spending more time with the things and people they cared about.

For Vertin, it was the latter.

Yet the world was crueler to her for this. The Storm was crueler to her than anyone else for this.

For the Storm takes and never gives. It destroys what it can never rebuild. It robs the only girl whom defies it any chances to mend her mistakes, to mend her regrets; a cruelty curated solely for her to endure.

But what if God did exist? What if someone out there, observing this very girl battling through it all, struggling to keep herself steady amidst the tides of chaos and pain, decides that enough was enough? That something needed to be done? That a break for that certain person was solely deserved?

That for the Timekeeper to finally receive the culmination of all she had endured this entire time for, a gift that will be a reassurance that her efforts is not for naught.

A gift of Hope, brought to her through fluttering wings of a Snowy Dove.
