i promise we'll walk across the moon someday soon
FULL MOON CODA
The moon wanes, and retreats into the sky.
After a quick chat and a vote, the otherworldly wizards, their mentor, and their sage decide to hand Victor over to the Central government—to the young wizard who appeared later in the ordeal. As both a sage's wizard and Crown Prince to the Central throne, Prince Arthur is the ideal person to understand both the discriminatory behavior driving Victor against wizards and the political ramifications of his actions, both past and planned. He pledges to you to make sure that, even if you aren't around to see it, Victor pays for what he's done and then some, while respecting Tatara's wishes to avoid bloodshed. He'll manage his case, while making sure his uncle, Vincent, does not have too much sway, due to his relationship with the West. Ultimately, he'll be locked up for life, put to hard labor, and made sure his intelligence is not misused.
When the sun rises, everyone gets to work repairing the manor. The damage is pretty bad but not unsalvageable, and it's made a lot easier with the help of some of the other original wizards who trickle in as the day begins. So long as it hasn't been burnt into absolutely nothing, it's salvageable—hopefully your figurines are safe!
For the first time since you arrived in this world, things feel stable. The brittleness in the air is no longer there, and there's a serenity to the breeze and the sky. It's comfortable. As the previous sage and sage's wizards begin to go about their business as usual, they mention anomalies and other odd incidents they must take care of around the world, but it is nothing like what you initially remember. This is no longer a world a hair's breadth away from falling apart, and you fixed it.
Whether you noticed it in the chaos of the final fight, or you hear it from someone else, or you notice on your own in the days that follow, you will realize that your sage crest is gone. With the other wizards in place again, your job here is done. Quite literally. You are no longer obligated to Tatara or to this world. All that's left is to go home.
A day and time is chosen for the ritual, and you have a few days after the final battle before the ritual is ready. This would be a good time to wrap up loose ends before you go, perhaps for good.
And when the ritual is ready, you'll know.

[ a few months ago he would have left it at that. now, though, he searches ginger's expression and bearing for a long moment, before, eventually, with a shift of his stance: ]
... give that here for a moment. I won't take it away, don't worry.

You know, I’ve never had to say a real goodbye before. And I don’t know if I like Endings.

frayed magic is still frayed magic. none lost; it was better crafted than that, and mika's cleave precise, but perhaps those searching ends... ]
... Two halves will ever seek to be made whole, it seems. [ a little more quietly, murmured as if to himself, ] Is that what happens when everything here is fueled by emotion?
[ he did not think himself to still be so sentimental. in truth, he wasn't sure he was even still capable of it. but there is something that can be done, then, with this half of the mark:
with a contemplative gaze and a marshaling of his intent, robin's magic weaves into the mark once more. a subtle change to the pattern, this time, the cost to alter not as much as the one paid to create it in the first place. mostly it's to clean up and resettle the magic after the adjustments made to it, but also, like knows like, and now those frayed, severed strands don't trail off forlornly so much as they seem to reach out for a match that isn't there, a compass pointing to the due north that is its other half. ]
... In the unlikely event that you should ever be separated somehow, and unable to locate each other, focusing on this should point you to the other half of the mark. [ presumably mikaela will carry his own. ] As for the matter of endings...
I don't know if I look at it quite this way myself, but... some might say endings are simply what come before new beginnings. These things are cyclical, after all.
[ even his lives are that way, when he thinks about it. ]
