Wine from Years Past, Drunk in the Present

Ten thousand years ago, a catastrophe shook heaven and earth, and she watched him ascend with her own eyes.

The last spell he cast in this world made the gods forget him forever.

Afterward, all was as it had been in the heavenly realm, but every trace of their story vanished.

Ten thousand years later, he awoke in the far north and spent another thousand years remembering her.

After countless millennia of waiting, only the ice that would never thaw remained by his side.

He said so much time had passed that he was beginning to forget the faces of old friends and the moment he first met her.

The one thing he never forgot was missing her.
