Novel & Cerita The Ending Of The Vow

“You're mine. I'm never going to leave your side again.” I smiled, my eyes still closed. “Is that a promise.” “It's a goddamn vow.” ~THE END

“We still have the one thing he can’t buy or destroy.” “And what’s that?” He leaned in, his voice barely above a whisper. “Us.” Silence hung between them. Then she breathed out a trembling laugh. “You sound insane.” “Maybe I am,” he said, smiling faintly. “But maybe that’s what it takes to finally end this.” She stared up at him. “So what do we do?” He took a deep breath. “First, we make a vow. Right here. Right now.” Her voice softened. “What kind of vow?”

Outside, the storm finally broke, rain cascading against the windows like a symphony of fate. Elara closed her eyes, feeling the weight of the moment settle over her. “Whatever comes next… we face it side by side. Until the very last breath.” Kael pressed his forehead to hers, the warmth of his touch a shield against the darkness. “Until the last breath.” In that quiet chamber, amid the echoes of ancient power and whispered hopes, the last vow was sealed—a promise that would shape the destiny of their kingdom and the fragile heart beating between them.

“My mother entrusted me to you on her deathbed. And what did you do to me? “If you had a daughter, would you want her to forgive a man who treated her the way you treated me?” “So, no! I won’t forgive you. I don’t want to ever see you again.” He looked at me deeply, as if recalling that day when my mother placed my hand into his, when he had vowed he would take care of me. He lowered his head and fell silent for a long time. As I passed by him, his trembling voice drifted to my ears.

“When Thalen fell, I tried to seal what she began. The vow took my name, my body, my will. Now I exist as its voice. Bound to guide those who carry it—until one is willing to do what I could not.” “To die for it?” Serenya asked. “To forgive it.” Serenya blinked. “Forgive—?” The air shifted, and Maelis’s form began to fade. “The vow began in love and shattered through betrayal. Only love can end it—not by killing it, but by accepting what it made.” “I don’t understand!” Serenya cried. “You will.” Maelis’s voice grew faint, echoing across the lake. “When the moon bleeds, and the heart chooses truth.”

“No, Mother.” Her eyes looked deeply into her mother’s. There was no hesitation left. “Today… I will not run.” She took a slow breath. As if strengthening herself. “I will walk into it.” Her smile appeared again. But this time… more bitter. “And I will make sure… this is not the end of us.” Rossa cried. Silently. Unable to stop. Meanwhile, outside— footsteps began to echo along the corridor. Heavy. Steady. Getting closer. Their time… had truly run out.

My mind was too far away. Then his voice became clearer. “We now commit this body to the ground; earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust, in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.” Those were the final words. The coffin began to lower. The sound of it descending into the ground echoed louder than it should have. My chest tightened painfully as reality pressed harder against me. This was it. This was the end. After today, I would have nothing but memories to hold on to.

I acted as if I hadn't seen her at all and continued exchanging heartfelt vows with Delilah. Delilah was so moved that tears filled her eyes. "Ry, don't worry. I'll be devoted to you for the rest of my life. I love you." I had heard those same words from Amara before, but for some unexplainable reason, I truly believed Delilah. I believed that she would truly spend the rest of her days with me. "I love you, too." Wrapping our arms around each other, we kissed. I'd never imagined that I could meet such an incredible woman in this lifetime.

Rain soaked his black clothes while thunder cracked across the sky. Vanessa placed a hand on his shoulder. “End it, Kael.” Kael looked at me one last time, then he nodded at the warriors. They understood the message and shoved me backward. I fell drastically, the wind screaming around me as darkness swallowed my body whole. Tears slipped out of my eyes, not because I was dying, but because the man I loved watched me fall. I closed my eyes as death rushed toward me. And with my final breath, I made a hopeless vow.

The sound around me started to fade, my eyes drooping shut, but I said to myself that this was it. This was the end. I made a vow… That I'd become someone they regret not wanting. A few more breaths, and darkness followed.
