They were never meant to be together. She was water. He was fire. She was judicious and smart and he was trusting and clueless. Her father was dead while her mother was alive and insane. His mother was dead and his father has been alive for 4027 years. She was from Tethe'alla and he was from Sylvarant. She was a teacher and he was a student. She was a half-elf and he was human.
She healed.
He destroyed.
Everything about them was incongruous. There mere existence together was the embodiment of contradictory. They could have never been together, water destroyed fire while fire dispersed water. They were meant to destroy each other with their opposing forces. They did not destroy each other, but protected each other from their weakness. When opponent's water came to extinguish him she was there blocking water with water and when fire came to evaporate her, his fire pushed the enemy's fire back. They balanced each other. What happens when water and fire have equal power, when neither is powerful enough to destroy the other? The answer should be that they are both destroyed. It was a mere law of physics.
Lloyd destroyed Physics. He made Laws of his own, a law that a half-elf and human and any other beings could coexist without problem, that Tethe'alla and Sylvarant are two halves of one whole and that people can't get hurt if they trust. That water and fire could exist equally without destroying each other.
Raine knew that her and Lloyd's relationship was never meant to be, it was a mere abomination to common logic. But logic meant nothing to Lloyd. Lloyd killed an angelic being which was against all logic; Lloyd had a 4027 year old father which was also illogical.
Lloyd had wings and he was human.
Reason meant nothing to Lloyd. He made this okay when he rewrote common knowledge. Raine never knew when he sneaked his way past her walls and into her heart. She never thought twice about sacrificing herself for him. She never knew when she fell in love with her opposing force and complete opposite, Lloyd Irving. She only knew her name.
Raine Irving.
