    Summary

    It was all coming back to him now, though the details of his fall were still blurry and scattered. The tree had been growing on the edge of the cliff above Wyrmrest Valley, so he must have tumbled halfway down the mountain. If he’d hit his head, it made sense that his short term memory might be affected.

    More pressing than that, however, was his current situation. Albedo could see shards of icy blue sky though the dark fingers of bare tree branches, which implied that he had survived the fall and was laying somewhere at the bottom of the mountain. However, he couldn’t feel his body at all, and attempting to move in order to get a better look at himself only resulted in an odd, empty sensation, like tugging on a loose rope. Left without another option, he continued to stare at the fragmented sky.

    Albedo's body shatters into chalk after an unfortunate accident. Left alone at the bottom of Dragonspine, he struggles to piece himself back together.

    Summary

    “I thought you weren’t at all upset about any of this?” 

    “I’m not,” Al-Haitham insists. Stubborn.

    “Well, what happened then? Surely something’s bothering you, or else you wouldn’t be moving your things back and forth in the same spot like that.”

    Al-Haitham’s eyes drop to his hands, between them a box filled with little trinkets—souvenirs from his trips to the desert, no doubt, gleaming gem stones and jagged blocks of stone, the old runes on them barely legible from erosion. Al-Haitham sighs.

    “Nothing happened,” he begins, slow and measured, “I’m just looking for something.”

    The morning after their return to Sumeru City, Al-Haitham’s cover of nonchalance is blown for good.

    Summary

    “…what are you asking me to do?” Dan Heng asks carefully.

    Blade shifts slightly. “Some fragments of the Shard Sword were too small for me to remove on my own.”

    Oh.

    …I see.

     

    After the battle, Blade asks Dan Heng for help removing fragments of the Shard Sword.
