It was a place where hope was extinguished, where souls were lost, where the darkness reigned supreme.

I smiled, grabbed her hand, and placed a kiss on it. “Why would I need to? I have you to defend me, don’t I?” Jasmine froze for a moment, staring at me blankly. After a while, just as I began to think I had ruined everything with my reckless confession, a feather-light kiss brushed my cheek. Jasmine turned away and spoke in a soft voice, “Then I guess I’ll just have to keep an eye on you from now on.” The sunlight bathed her in a golden glow, etching her into my memory as the most beautiful sight I had ever seen.

Travian sank to his knees, the light of his wings fading into embers. “Hey,” he whispered, shaking him gently. “Stay with me, you hear me?
