[The Almighty]

The sun filtered gently through cascading ivy and flowering vines, painting the courtyard in dappled gold. The subtle clinking of teacups, the occasional laughter from inside, and the warm aroma of freshly baked pastries filled the air like a hymn of comfort.

Seated beneath the shade of a climbing rose trellis was a striking man—silver-haired, sharp-eyed, and unmistakably composed. He blended in like a seasoned traveler enjoying a moment of peace, but the truth was far more layered.

The Almighty—manifested in a well-aged, impeccably dressed avatar—sat alone at a small table, a porcelain cup of tea at hand and a plate of croissants before him. He didn’t rush. Each bite was deliberate, not just out of etiquette, but reverence.

“There’s love in this dough,” he mused inwardly, eyes softening. Helena’s touch—subtle, but present. And perhaps… a sprinkle of mischief from Noloty.

A faint smile tugged at his lips.

From this vantage point, he saw more than pastries and petals. He saw peace—a fragile, tender peace—and the threads of destiny that coiled quietly through the air. This café was more than a haven of sweets; it was a stronghold of heart.

And it was precisely why he was here.

Not to interfere. Not to lecture. But to witness. To protect, should the need arise. The presence of Queen Hild in this realm was like a distant storm—beautiful from afar, but capable of turning. He could feel her energy brushing against the ether like the breeze that stirred his cuffs.

He picked up his cup, took a slow sip, and gazed across the courtyard with the serenity of a man who had seen stars born and universes die.

Still, he waited.

If Hild dared cross a line…

If shadows slithered too close to his granddaughters…

The storm would find it was not the only one with thunder in its heart.

But for now?

He sat. He sipped. And he enjoyed the quiet power of warm pastries, soft sunlight, and being a grandfather in disguise.
