If Alfonse could've been able to choose, it would've been himself to die- not Sharena.

If she were still alive, she could be smiling at him and reassuring him everything was going to be fine- and he would've been annoyed with her company, but still love her for her kindness.

He covered his eyes with his hands and cried quietly; in his room, no one could disturb him or hear him in this weak state.

Emerald eyes appeared in his mind, cherry lips formed a wide smile, and blonde hair with pink at the tips blew gently to the direction of the wind.

The image made him grow weaker and he cried, a scream wanting to escape him- but he knew he would attract heroes or servants, so he stayed shut.

His sapphire eyes glowed with sadness, tears filling up and his hands quickly wiped them away. He sobbed -louder than before- and threw himself on his bed, planting his head on the fluffy pillow; but he barely felt it, the sadness and pain in his body not allowing him to feel it's fluffiness.

He looked at the window- nighttime already, he thought- and sat up, hands pulling him upwards to stand up. He walked towards his closet and opened it, looking for his nightclothes- he stopped, a knock on the door catching his attention. He slowly turned, his eyes looking at the handle, which kept turning but could not open- signaling it was locked.

He walked, taking deliberate steps towards the golden door. He reached his hand out and he unlocked the double-door, and the handle turned; the door slowly opening to reveal Eir, the princess of the realm of the dead. Her blue eyes shown sadly, and she forced a tiny yet sad smile on her strawberry lips.

"I am sorry for the Akran princess' death." She bowed delicately, her hands grabbing the edge of her black and white gown. "I apologize on my mother's behalf- even if she does not wish for it." She stood up, hands dropping to her sides "Good night, Prince Alfonse."

And the princess turned around and left- but he was not left alone as Anna immediately stepped in front of him. "Our summoner is keeping an eye on her," She looked at Eir, who was walking away, and in a whisper, she said, "But he says she has done nothing suspicious; all he says she does is train in the yard, eat (obviously) and speaks to other heroes." Anna sighed, pressing a hand to her cheek. "She is a strange one..."

Alfonse nodded, trying to hide his face -which was filled with tear stains along with his flushed cheeks. He turned on his heel and whispered a good night to the Commander. She responded with the same thing and left. Once she was gone, he closed the doors and walked towards his bed.

He didn't feel like changing- his body did not feel like it- he could sleep with his usual Askran attire- after all, it wasn't even hard to sleep with- but he removed his cape and the armor, to feel a little more comfortable.

And he lay down, sleep taking over before he even knew it.
