Still I try to find my way
Spending hours, endin' days
Burning like a flame behind my eyes
Drown in out, drink it in Crown the king of suffering
Prisoner, slave 'til in the skies, Disappeared the only thing
Bittersweet surrendering,
Knew that it was time to say goodbye
I lay there in the dark and I close my eyes
You saved me the day that you came alive
The reason you left me to survive
You saved me the day you came alive

-Come Alive, Foo Fighters

His eyes widen as he stares at the familiar figure sleeping in his large king size bed.

Long golden locks cascading down her neck, and is dress in a light blue gown that flow. The silkly surface flowing down her body. He can see a smile dancing across her features.

For a minute he thinks that she is a dream.

After all he is the one that had taken her life so many months ago. Regardless of the fact he didn't want to, but blades were drawn and they were force to fight.

Of course it was no easy victory either.

He knows that he has a scar or two from that fight where her rapier made contact with skin, and those were only the physical scars. Not counting the deep scars that his heart had suffered that day. He knows that despite the circmastances of the war.

He will always love her.

Somehow he has a feeling that it was Etro who brought her back. That she is his reward for helping the death goddess defeat her older brother. Of course she has a habbit of speaking in riddles and he usually has to find out the answers for himself.

Although he can't deny the fact that her parting words to him a couple of days ago were somewhat clear but none of the less still a bit confusing.

He instantly moves to her side and sitting on the edge of the large bed. Feeling the bed slightly sink at his added weight. He gently moves a hand to her bare shoulder, feeling the warm skin beneath his bare hands. He notices her stir in his sleep at his soft touch.

"Hey," he mummbles lightly noticing that she was waking up from her deep slumber. Like Sleeping Beauty only without the kiss.

"Hey," she mumbles softly focusing her eyes on his face. He can see her gloss lips curl into a soft smile. "Have I been a sleep this whole time?"

He can hear the slight confusion lace in her beautiful voice. A part of him wonders if she thinks it was all a dream. Him killing her, the underworld, her rescurection.

"What do you remember," he questions.

"Etro telling me I have to return to you," she remarks after a moment almost as if she was giving his question some serious thought. "But the rest is a bit blurry. "

He frowns lightly, "I'm sure that you will remember within time."

She nods, "Although somehow I knew that you were suffering."

"I was," he agrees, before silently adding to himself, without you.

"And now your not?" she questions. Cocking her head to the side in a questionable manner that he couldn't help but to define it as cute.

"Now I'm not," he agrees. "Because you are with me."

She smiles lightly before moving her body so she gently brushes her lips against his in a soft passionate kiss.

Are you enjoying your reward, Dark King? Etro's questions. He can hear the slight teasing lace through her voice. As her voice echos through his mind.

I am. He responds back.

He couldn't help but to feel like he was alive again.
