It's been too long… eight long years. Much to my sorrow, those eight years shall drag on; drag on until I die too.

It's been eight years since you died, and ever since, nothing's been the same. I gaze sadly at your grave. I kneel down to place some forget-me-nots over it; I hope you forget me not as I shan't forget you.

Why couldn't I have protected you, when you needed me most? This shall remain unanswered I suppose. Some things do.

I miss you. Your silken azure hair, cascading down your back and flowing like a river. I miss how you used to look at me, those gentle aquamarine eyes, twinkling ever so. Your smile, so warm and inviting…

I am such a coward! I could face griffins, yes, defeat manticore, yes, I could even stare Saturos and Menardi down. But I couldn't manage to say how much I loved you, why, I do not know. That's another unanswered question.

I peered down at the epitaph on your headstone, it reading that you rest in peace. Maybe you are resting in peace, but I never shall. I pulled out a knife, and carefully added to those words. After what seemed like eternity, my pain-staking task was completed. I stood up and admired my work. With a smile tugging at my lips, I pocketed my knife and walked away, with only a single backwards glance.

Garet was wandering about, searching for his best friend, Isaac. Knowing him, Garet meandered for a while longer before stopping. He looked down at the solitary grave and noticed that there were more flowers there, say…

He stooped down and inspected the headstone behind the flowers. There was a new inscription here… He ran his fingers over them, the new letters, etched in rather poorly. Softly, he read them aloud, " I love you Mia. See you when I'm gone, Isaac."

With a knowing grin, Garet rose and walked back to Vale, happy that his friend could now have peace.
