Summary: A search for a gift turns into an unexpected quest; a chance for Remus to regain everything he's lost. Or, at least, the most important thing.
Night and day lie open the gates of death's dark kingdom:
But to retrace your steps, to find the way back to daylight-
That is the task, the hard thing.
- Virgil, Aeneid, VI. 128-130 (Oxford World Classics Ed.)
(This is the prologue of a longer work, but I think it can stand on its own)
