The Ballad of Falling Dragons

Chapter 77
Overview
The Great Silver Sabersythe, bearing the white-haired fae Grihm, flies over The Burn as a silver world-ribbon gently herds her south. The ribbon once gifted the dragon a piece of itself and seeks to stitch Caelis back together. The public spectacle foreshadows guided convergence and purposeful destiny.
Summary
The ancient Great Silver Sabersythe crosses the Loff, her scales flashing like starlight, while a silver ribbon dips and sweeps behind, urging the dragon south toward The Burn’s elusive capital.
The ribbon does not threaten; it once gave part of itself to the Sabersythe, a deliberate gift understood as a plea for help. The narration reveals the ribbons are shackled remnants of something once whole, working slowly to stitch the lost pieces of Caelis back together through tangible allies.
Skimming past the Imperial Stronghold for the first time in ages, the Sabersythe draws crowds into the streets. Onlookers witness a rare sight: a white-haired fae rider with ice-bright eyes and a tense jaw astride the dragon.
As the pair continue south, the ribbon keeps subtly herding the flight path. It hopes Grihm will understand that every element has a purpose, and that some destinies—like this union of rider, dragon, and ribbon—were always meant to be, heralding a larger restoration to come.
