One Moment in Time.
When it came down to it, when time was of the essence and there was only a single moment to look back on his life, he found himself realizing just what he was going to regret the most and it stunned him.
It wasn't how he had lived or why. It wasn't joining the Tin Men and especially not joining the Resistance. It wasn't his eight years of imprisonment, it wasn't the loss of his family, nor the heart wrenching realization that Adore was lost to him forever. It wasn't even the fact that his grand scheme of revenge against Zero and retribution against Azkadellia and her Longcoats had finally failed.
As he fell through time and space, the icy winds buffeting his body, Zero's smug face staring through the broken window as his hands groped frantically for purchase in the frozen nothingness, he realized his only regret.
That he would never again see her look up at him with those wide blue eyes that were so innocent; wordlessly pleading for his protection, his support… his love… and smile that soft little smile reserved just for him, and feel that sweet warmth spread through his chest…
The DreamWeaver hopes that this little dream has pleased you, dear Reader, and, if it has, perhaps you will honor the DreamWeaver with a review.
May your dreams guide you on the pathway to the joys of tomorrow.
