Our eyes meet from across the battlefield. I can see that hurt, that pain. She knows this is not where she lost him.
That has killed her from the inside. I can see that the woman who used to be there is dead.
Such irony… I am called Necromancer.
She's been through hell. I know how she feels, because I have, too. I know what it feels like, to lose them. To lose the one you love. To die from the inside. Curse my dreadful nickname!… I have not been able to revive myself… It is no simple task as others might think it should be to me. I am not omnipotent. Though I am certain of one thing regarding those means: being omnipotent would not change anything. It doesn't take power to revive those who have died from the inside.
At least, it takes the one power that I will never harness. I lost the chance so long ago when I lost her.
I thought my heart would never beat again when she was gone. I don't know how it managed, how it continued to beat, even after she was gone. But even now, as I look at her after so long, she is not on the battlefield. I am not on the battlefield. Perhaps we were both there a long time ago, but time passes.
I was so certain the red in my eyes was the red of blood. Blood of the murdered, blood of the lost. And maybe it was. But I'm positive - it cannot be that now.
The irony… the irony of my forsaken name! I believe I may have done it. I may have revived a long dead soul, and it may be that my own is soon to follow.
For I can see her looking at me now, and she has not smiled since she lost him… but she smiles now. She smiles as she looks up into those eyes stained with bloodshed. I do not know how she smiles. I only know that I, just as her, could not do the same, and I have found the strength to now.
I know my heart should have stopped beating when I lost her. I know she felt her heart should have never beat again when she lost him. But I am reminded of my mortal life, and the extent to which I can exist in this plane as my heart beats even the slightest bit faster when I look to her.
Most of all, I realize that it is that one small change that has made all the difference.
