Chapter 5:

We met again

Light through my window


Our flight was through the intricate labyrinth of this stone city. Most of the houses were made of stone. Cold, gray and not friendly stone.

I heart cold-blooded roar from the back far-away. It send chills down my spine. But i noticed that its doesn't bothered her at all. So I decided to ignore it too.

Straight, right, left, straight again... As if remembering every street of the city, she confidently ran towards her goal and followed her as shadow.

I had already stopped counting the time we rain together in complete silence, I began to feel the rebound of my sword, but thanks to training, I was able to move forward with this weight.

Following her, I automatically lost myself in my thoughts:

"First, I realized that I took life of livings beings just like me, but I didn't feel anything, no sadness, no fear, no anger, empty. What frightened me. Am I really that insensible? Or am I a monster?"

"The second surprise was that I managed to hold this swordsman for so long. Is that just because of my blade? Do I really have strength to fight with someone so strong? What kind of enemy lay ahead of me , and what should I do to beat them, that's what bothered me. My wounds from fight with him regenerated, that's the second miracle after that I survived fight with him"

I looked at her-" What does she thinks about this situation and me"

"The third was insight, I was able to escape from that world. And it's like I got into one of the stories that I read  from my books. Maybe all heroes, monsters and fantasy worlds are real?"- It ignited something inside of me.

"And the fourth, fourth was the realization that I would need to find shelter before the other morning came, otherwise my story would end."

Now my attention is back and focused on her.

"She called me darling? But this is not possible, we definitely do not know each other, since I lived my life alone. And yes, she is not so easy to forget from anyone, both in personality and her beauty.

And then she interrupted my thoughts 

"We're here," as she said this, she began tp rummage through the pockets of her cloak as she stood in front of the small door leading to the default stone home".

"Your house?"- I asked in curiosity.

"Our temporary shelter" opened the door, she invited me  with a warm smile, which can melt even coldest day.

Inside of our shelter, one small room, in which there was almost nothing. Only a table, chair and bed. Not exactly what you expect to be home for such lady like she is. It was dark in it, but I saw everything clearly, I decided to sit on a chair and quickly remove the blade from my hands.

"How I missed you!"- she pounced on me and closed me in her warm hug. As if closing me from the whole world, protecting  me from all the bad things that is in it. 

I felt a sharp pain in my head, streams of information began to pour into my head. I saw, saw everything, all the past lives that we were together, all the challenges that we went though and, of course, every happy second that we were together.

How happy I was? And then the realization came that in this life I had absolutely  nothing of this, there were no happy memories, there was nothing that would be so important, why did they decide to deprive me of all this? I started to feel rage, but I dispelled that intrusive thought.

It was difficult to accept all the memories and emotions, they overwhelmed me. How we got to know each other from life to life, to infinity. We fell in love, started dating, got married , spent time together, shared food, had fun and loved each other.

The heart began to tingle from an overabundance of familiar feelings, apparently their acceptance will take time. But in addition to those feelings, the realization came that we destined to each other in every life and that I had already fallen in love with her in this life, even without those memories, at the moment when she appeared, it became easier for me to endure my burden and loneliness.

I realized that I like everything about her, her unshakable will, that she was ready to face three warriors alone, and didn't even think about giving up, her perseverance, her talent which she show by her string instrument fast learning ability and by her shooting ability, her seriousness, her coldness, her warmth and of course  her inner very vulnerable part of soul, which she did not show to anyone. After all , only thing that matters now , is that I am with her and this is the most important thing. With the one whom I love with all my heart, and the one who loves me with all her soul.

"Did you remembered who am I?'-she asked looking me in the eyes  with little teardrops in the corners, her blue eyes shined , and in this lives I never saw such beauty. 

I nod silently, because of the surging emotions and understanding that she to go through to find me, I could not squeeze out a single word.

"Do you love me?"- she asked with hope.

I nod again and said:

"Yes, yes of course I love you!"

"I love you too"- she said with relief.

We kissed,  and  as if we had completed a mission, a big lump fell from our hearts. Freeing them and bringing together. As if it connected us, filling our void and healing our souls. As if we found second part of ourselves.

As if our bodies, our lips, our souls, our past, our present and our future were and will be one, always.

Is that a pact?

Yes, that is a pact.
