A.N. Hey all you Arcana Chronicles fans, I have always loved Aric and I personally do not like Evie and him together. So I am making this OC for him. She is connected to his human life and he loves her more then he has ever loved Evie or the Empress.

I hope you like it. I will start after the ending of 'Endless Knight'.

Do not own The Arcana Chronicles or the characters in it.

(Aric's POV)

"ARIC HELP ME!" Ember screams as the Empress holds a claw to her throat.

"Surrender now Death and I will let her live." The Empress says smugly as she starts to dig her poisonous claw in Ember's throat.

I see tears spill out of Ember's eyes down her cheeks. "You are a monster using a helpless girl as leverage." I snarl at her.

She laughs and says "That may be, but it is leverage against you." She smirks and says "But if you swear to yield and let me kill you, then I will let her go now."

I nod and the Empress lets go of Ember and she runs to me. She says "Aric please don't do this. I love you."

I caress her cheek with my gloved hand and say "I love you too Ember. But I can never touch you. I will not be able to return your love as you do to me. If I were to kiss you are just touch you I would kill you. I do not want you to die."

More tears fall from her eyes and I feel tears falling down my cheeks. She hugs me through my armor and I hug her back, careful not to touch her with my skin.

"Goodbye my love." I say to her as I go up to the Empress.

She says "About time Death. I was beginning to think that it would take the rest of the game for you to say your goodbye to her." She then goes up to me and says "You really do love her don't you?"

"You wouldn't know what love is even if it hit you creature." I say to her.

She gives an evil laugh and moves over to where Ember is standing. She says "Well I think the Death shouldn't be allowed to love or even feel."

She then slashes her poisonous claws across Embers torso. Ember falls and blood pours from her wound. The Empress laughs and I take my swards out and cut off the Empress's head. She falls down dead at my feet and I go over to Ember.

She is trying to stay alive, but I can tell that the poison is going through her blood stream. She manages to say "I love you Aric." She pulls my head down and kisses me.

I lift my head up and I cradle her body in my arms. I look at her to find her smiling and give one last breath out before falling limp in my arms. Dead.

I look up in the sky and scream "AAAAHHHHHHHH!"

I jolt up in bed and see Evie naked next to me curled up in a ball. I get out of bed careful not to wake her and get my pants on. I leave to my study.

I haven't had that dream in a while. And even though it has been two thousand years I still see my Ember clearly.

She had long raven black hair with pale skin and the most beautiful electric blue eyes. She was a servant in my home when I was still human I was sixteen she was fourteen. She was so sweet and kind. I fancied her. I even told her, and she said that she felt the same way, but we could never be together due to her station.

After I killed all those people on accident, and everybody in the village I left. I then learned about Arcana and that I am Death. I learned everything about my powers and what I have to do by the Tarasova and The Fool.

While I was leaning to control my powers I heard a voice I have know. She said "Excuse me, I am looking for a boy with white blond hair and beautiful amber eyes that shine like starlight. His name is Aric."

I go out and find Ember there. She looks at me and says "Aric there you are." She goes up to me, but the Tarasova grabs her and I stop her from coming anywhere close to me. "What is going on here Aric?"

I tell her everything and then ask "How did you escape the plague Ember?"

She answered "I don't know."

She then helped me and we traveled together, but later died by the Empress's hand, and mine.

I pour a shot of vodka and drink it down. I go over to a covered painting and reviled a portrait of My Ember. Her long raven black hair was curled and in an updo, her electric blue eyes are rimmed with Egyptian Kohl which makes her eyes pop out even more. She has on a blue dress and she is smiling that beautiful smile.

I feel myself crying. I love her even more then I have ever loved Evie.

She was and still is my light. She was the only thing I had that I loved in life, and that day I made a vow to myself for Ember that I would make that creature suffer eternally.

I decided to get ready since today is the day I would rescue Deveaux from The Lovers.

I get my armor on and tell Lark to tell Evie I am gone to save her Deveaux.

I saddle my horse and leave to the camp. I go in there and there aren't that many guards on duty. I kill them easily without a sound.

I go to a cage and find him. He is there with the other pitiful excuse of Evie's alliance. But it is Deveaux that is the most beat up.

They see me and are scared, I say "Do not worry, I come to save you, courtesy of the Empress." I unlock their cage and free them.

Deveaux says "There is a girl in another cage over there, she was just captured. You have to save her too."

I agree and go there. I see a girl in the cage with long raven black hair that goes down to her middle back in soft waves. Her pale skin glows in the moonlight and I hear her softly crying. I go up to her and she turns and has the most amazing electric blue eyes ever.

She is wearing black jeans and a blue tank top with a black leather jacket on the ground of her cage, she also has black combat boots on. And there is dried blood caked on her clothes and some of her skin.

There are tears on her cheeks and she says in a timid voice "Are you here to kill me? If so please just do it quickly."

I start to cry and say "Ember is that you?"

She says "How do you know my name? Who are you?"

"My name is Aric, I am here to help you, not hurt you." I say to her. I unlock her cage and she puts on her jacket and whispers a thank you.

I still can't believe she is here. It is my Ember. As she gets out she falls to the ground, and I help her up. Her legs a wobbly, so I just pick her up.

I carry her to my horse and help her up so she is sitting in front of me. The others got a jeep and are following me in that.

Ember soon falls asleep with her head resting on my armored chest.
