Alone

I feel the agony you are in through the Soulmate link. I run to you as quickly as I can, praying to the Goddess that I'm not too late.

But then aren't we, Daybreakers, always too late in this battle? I see you there lying on the floor, surrounded by many unfortunate souls.

I come to you and taking you in my arms, I see that Fate decided to be cruel and heartless. Your pain is going but that isn't good; it's obvious to you that you're about to die and leave me to wander the world, but I can't believe it. I would not believe it.

You turn to me and reach for my hand. I hold it tight, trying to will some strength into you. You smile sadly at me as you know what I'm doing. You always know. I feel a tug on the Silver Cord, but it's not the usual tug of love and affection that comes with it. Instead it's an undeniable force that is tugging the Cord away from you.

I can feel the Cord start to rip, still attached to me but only partly to you. It's almost time for you to leave me and tears are starting to fall down your cheeks. I wipe them away and the truth sets in.

You try to speak but no words come out, so then I hear a whisper in my mind I love you. And then with a final tug the cord snaps and you're gone. The snapping of the cord acts like a lever to open the floodgates. I hold you closer not ready to let you go, but I must.

I must go and fight for the humans, for you and for all the soulmate couples that are trying to stay together against the will of the world.

But I must now fight this battle without you by my side; without your strength; without your endless love. It seems like Fate allowed soulmates to find each other just to be torn apart by the darkness.

I now face this world alone, without my soulmate. My other half. My light in the darkness. I must do this for you; Alone.
