This is inspired by the song mirrors by Justin Timberlake. Sorry for the delay on the quest, I have a small case of writers block :|
Rythian walked around Blackrock, heading toward the magic room. He quickly looked into a mirror, talking his mask off. When he saw a black stem creeping its way up the side of his jaw, he gasped. "No… please no…" he pleaded to an unknown force.
He tilted his head to look outside the magic room. He saw his girlfriend, Zoey, dazed, walking around Blackrock. He quickly pulled his head back in the room, and put his mask back on just as quick.
"Hey Rythian!" She said, seeing him. She went into the room and hugged him. He hugged her back. 'What if… NO! She wouldn't be like that…' he thought. Zoey closed her eyes, enjoying the embrace.
The black started to creep up to meet the top of his mask. He broke the embrace, and Zoey shot a questioning look at him.
"You ok?" She asked, taking a step to him.
"Fine, I'm fine" said Rythian, exiting the room quickly. He went into their room. He picked up a mirror, taking down his mask. When he saw the black trying to meet at the bridge of his nose, he gasped, dropping the mirror.
Zoey's head shot up when she heard glass shatter. She ran toward the source, worrying for Rythian. When she was at the entrance to their room, she took in the sights around her. She saw Rythian standing over a broken mirror.
"Wha- what happened, Rythe?" She asked, walking up to him.
"N- nothing" he said, trying his best to hide his face.
"Why are you hiding your face?" She asked.
"N- no reason" he said. Zoey cocked her head.
"Why are you hiding your face?" She asked again.
"Zoey, I told you, no reason" he said. She moved his hand to see the black connect at the bridge of his nose, then move down throughout his face. She gasped.
"Rythian…" she said, looking lost for words.
"I knew you'd react like that…" he said. "You probably don't love me anymore…" he said, but was responded by a hug.
"No… why would you ever think that?" She asked, looking up at him.
"Wha…" he said, but was cut off by her kissing him.
"I'll always love you for who you are! Not what you look like…" Zoey said when she broke the kiss. Rythian's eyes widened a bit, but he just put his arms around her waist.
"Th- thank you." Said Rythian. Zoey looked up at him.
"Why are you thanking me?" She asked.
"Because everyone always judges my appearance." He said. She put her forehead on his chest.
"Well I won't" she said. Rythian hugged her tightly.
"Thank you" he whispered.
"I love you" she said. "That'll never change" she finished.
"I- I love you too" he said.
