*Future Green comes to see you, splitting his awareness again. We're at Four different places now. He looks exhausted because you don't need him to have it together he doesn't try to hide it. He can't decide if he's angry at you or not, probably depends on what you say.*

Hello Blackthorne. It's been a while.

*He sounds done — but who wouldn't be at this point?*

*It takes a moment, but i do reappear within the gardens. I look tired myself.*

*He sees you, then looks away towards something out of your eyeline before returning to look at you. Moving across the field and giving a small nod in greeting. It's not hard to figure out why you are here. Not really.*

Green, It is good to see you. Though I sense you are spreading yourself quite thin as of right now. Are you okay?

*Future's Blackthorne gets a letter after the fate of Future passes. It's delivered in orange magic.*

Blackthorne,

I'm not sure if you know that I've been cursed or that my ascension is going to be nasty. I'm never sure how often you see our fate flowers and I know you've been busy so if this is news I understand.

I have done what I can to help mitigate the panic at home. I don't think I've been successful but I've tried. My son is most prepared, he's been aware that it's going to happen for a while. Fi is to stay with Gan, she is someone he trusts.

My magic changed recently. I don't know how but something about my true title is different. I'm unsure what it means but I don't know who else I can tell anyway.

I hate to ask for anything just now. I felt all the death magic and the imbalance in the cycle of life, so I know you're busy and tired... but can you make sure someone looks after Gan? He's going to see my siblings upset and try to minimize himself. I know they'll make sure he's safe and fed, but there's more to keeping a child feeling loved than that. If he could visit Sky or Sky's era, that might be good. He loves Sky and loftwings... he'd love Sun too. Or honestly, he likes you a lot. We knew a different timeline's version of you, and he liked you.

Obviously, you're still my favorite version of you, but it was comforting to know the other version.

I have a collection of books and seeds and instructions to grow the seeds in different climates that Alfie is supposed to take to Sky so if Sky ends up focused and distracted that may be why. I... found a version of Evelyn that made copies of everything she had written down for Sky... and some letters she and her husband wrote for our Sky because they wanted him to have something of his parents. Their timeline split from Sky's at their death, the version I met survived.

I'm pretty sure when I ascend Audrah or papa or maybe Flora and Wild or Fierce will catch me before I can wander away and get lost.

I don't know when I'll see you next, so I'll just tell you now. I've missed you, and I'm grateful for everything you've done. Take care of yourself, I'll see you later.

Lots of love,

* I'm sitting inside the small house. Origia sits on the opposite chair reading something that looks like a book, but is completely see through.*

You know picking who is to be brought into the garden next is always a challenge...

*She spots the magic before I do.*

Oh hey look at that! Who's that from?!

A dear friend of mine. A demigoddess and the daughter of the god of heroes.

Is that right?

*She walks over.*

Well? What's it say?

*I roll my eyes, Waving her away before reading the letter myself.*

She often writes. She taught me how to paint you know.

Dearest Tori.

It is good to hear from you. After recent events you have been on my mind. I wish I could Visit. But we are very busy here at current.

I am aware of your fate flower. And what it looks like. You are probably beginning to feel the effects personally. But please, if you are able too give me an idea of what you think your title is telling you. What does your magic say?

Of course I will. I'm sure Sky would be happy to take care of him. I will use my second who lives there to speak to him to ask. Actually I shall ask the queen. He is also welcome to stay with me. What kind of things does he like? I shall have a room prepared for him. Anything you can tell me about his preferences I shall attempt to work on.

That's always a relief. I've sent one of my drawings to show you my attempt at drawing water I think I have done very well.

Letters from his parents? I am sure he will find great comfort in those. It gives me great relief to know that somewhere in the timeline they survive. They were good people. I will be sure to ensure he gets those. And the seeds, even if he cant look at them immediately he will find time to do so I am sure.

I know he plans to visit you soon.

I am aware you will be caught. And you will be well taken care of. That I can promise you.

You are doing your best and i just want you to remember that. Please know that everyone around you loves you. I miss you dearly. And no matter what happens next you have lived your life to the fullest. And I hope you are proud of that.

Blackthorne

Actually... and dont tell anyone else this.

*With the letter is a drawing of what you think is a river. Its a fairly decent attempt all things considered.*
