Episode Synopsis

The eagle soared high above the valley, its golden eyes scanning the land below. The wind was strong, but its wings knew the currents well. It had spent months away, hunting in distant places, testing itself against storms it once feared.

Now, with a branch in its talons, it turned toward the mountain where it was born.

The nest was still there—weathered but strong, the foundation holding despite the years. The eagle landed gently, placing the twig among the others. It wasn’t just a branch. It was a piece of the journey, a piece of everywhere it had been, now woven into the place it truly belonged.

Resting for a moment, it looked at the sky, the same sky it had once left in search of something more. And yet, here, in the familiar air, on the sturdy nest, it felt whole again.

Some journeys take you far. The most important ones bring you back.
