I'm... [He couldn't think the words. All he knew is his son was here, whatever time he might be from, and he was hugging him and loving him and not calling him a coward.

He let himself fall on his knees, cane forgotten on the floor as he wrapped both his arms around his son, tightly, just in case he would disappear into thin air. He rested his forehead on Bae's shoulder and cried softly.]

[hisinnerlight]

[Bae hugged him back, just as tightly. He didn't realise how much time had passed and was surprised to see his father crying.]

It's okay, Papa. We're here together now. It'll be like it was.

[He smiled, his happiness radiating in his ignorance.]

[fairdeal]

I'm so sorry... [In the midst of crying and his heart almost leaping out of his chest, he noticed, but he ignored, that Bae wrongly thought they had come through together to a land without magic; that The Dark One was no more, and that he himself had abandoned magic and returned to his old self.]

I'm so sorry, Bae... [He wanted to reassure him. He wanted to tell him that this was what had happened. But he couldn't muster the words, or the courage to lie to his own long lost son. He exhaled before he pulled away, resting a hand against the side of Bae's face as he shook his head with a desperate frown.] But this is not a land without magic.

[His smile faded slightly as he heard the words, confused as what they could mean.] I don't understand, Papa. You are yourself again.

If this is not the land, where are we?

[fairdeal]

[He chose to skip on the first remark, and answered the other question.]

This place... it's called Ruby City. For now it seems we can't leave.

[hisinnerlight]

But we are together. And that is what matters to me, Papa.

[He smiled again, his hope continuing to grow inside him. This may not be the place he envisioned. But he is with his father and things will be different. Hopefully for the better.]

[fairdeal]

Yes. [Gold wouldn't argue with that. He clung to his son tightly, knowing he would never let him go now.

If he needed a reason not to want to go back, this was it.] Yes, my son. That is all that matters to me too.
