"Castorice." He whispered softly.
She turned around to face him, her white purple dress graciously floating around her. He took a few steps forward on the small marble patio, never letting his eyes leave her face.
She was so beautiful. Long lavender hair cascading on her back, leaving her pointy ears unveiled, her gracious facial features lightened by the moon. He had fallen in love with her when he had first seen her, but didn't know it at first since there's no such word like love in the kremnoan language. That was his opinion from the past.
And now, he hated himself for what he was about to do. But he knew that he had no choice. She could not wait for him until the new cycle arrives. The time of the Chrysos Heirs will be the Titans of the new world. It was time for her and him to become different than their past selves.
"What did you want to tell me, Lord Mydei?" She asked him of her melodious voice.
"Castorice." He took her hands in his, spoke in a despondent yet calm tone. "Do not wait for me. I'm going to go defend Okhema and fight against the black tide, and who knows when will I come back? If I come back to the peaceful nether realm you and your sister created."
"No." She said, her eyes shinning of determination. "You will come back. You will. And I will do whatever it takes to help you like you did for me. I don't care what happens. I want to be by your side, walking on the sea of flowers together. To rest in peace."
"You must not let our love blind you, Castorice." There is no future for you, if you'll be with me, both of us will become Titans and our humanities will slowly wither. We will be different."
She silenced him with a kiss. A soft, tender kiss.
"I do not want to leave you. I love you. I knew what I was getting involved into when I first found out of my feelings. I could have backed up then. But I didn't. Because no matter what happens, I want to be by your side."
"Cas." He pleadingly said. "Please."
"No, my love. I won't."
"There is no life for us together, even though we will try to defy our fate, and you know it." He said in frustration.
"Who said anything about not having a life together?" She asked him, and watched as his amber eyes filled in horror. "No, Mydei. I will use my powers to change that. I don't want us and the rest of our companions to suffer anymore. Because becoming a Titan without humanity is lonely and useless. I have learned this when I'm with you."
Her hands left his and she undid the violet flower accessory on the side of her chest. She took one of his hands in hers, and put the flower safely in it, saying as she did so. "I chose to be with you."
Mydei kissed her softly, putting his love and fear for her in it. He then looked into her lovely lilac eyes and said. "Be safe."
Reluctantly, he lets her go and steps back as his form slowly disappears, his soul returning to the land of the living. It was time for him to go and fulfill his duty as the demi-god of strife, and protect Okhema with all his might and power.
And hopefully win safely to come back for her.
