He loved her so much. He never stopped reaching for her for hundreds of years and almost tore apart everything just so she would have a life, just so she would exist again with him. To get the chance to have the ending they should have had. It cost him everything and even while it was literally killing him and destroying everything around them he still fought for her right until the end.

'A streak of silver rolled down his cheek. "I cannot save you Aefe." And that I realised, was the cruelest truth of all. He could not save me. And I could not save him.

"Together," I choked out. "We go together."

"Your Story deserved a better end." I kissed him, and it was there, on the precipice of life and death, I felt the final shift in his resolve.

"Nothing ever truly ends" I whispered.'

...

'Together we will cross it. Together we will conquer the next unknown. His hand reaches out for me. His lips curl into a sad smile.

"Come home Aefe," he murmurs.

I love how he says my name.

I take his hand.

...

His eyes were closed as if he simply dirifted off to sleep. His hand was outstretched, as if had been holding something or someone.

I'll never be over it.
