Think of You

Luxa POV

Gregor coaxed me into seeing the overland, but I only came out so my upper half was above ground. There were tiny specks in the sky that twinkled slightly, and I registered them as what Gregor called "stars". They were quite beautiful, but the only beautiful thing I could focus on was Gregor. Numbly, I told him," This is where I will think of you." In response, he kissed me softly. With that, Gregor backed away and onto the ground of the Overland. As Gregor's father slid the heavy stone into place, I was hit by a wave of sadness and memories between the two of us. Being saved from the spinners. Drinking…what had he called it? Root beer? Making a sandwich. Whispering the words to Gregor as he bonded to Ares. Training with Mareth. Sneaking off to join the mission to kill the Bane. Watching as Gregor struggled in quicksand. Helping Aurora put her wing back in place. Seeing Ares with the plaque. The "picnic". That argument. Sending him back to Regalia. Riding back to Regalia on Ares from the Firelands as he talked to me to keep me from slipping away. Giving me the picture. Taking the pictures in the museum. Kissing in the museum. Getting locked in the dungeon and mourning for him as he battled the Bane. Being surprised to see his body being carried by shiners. Rushing him to the hospital. Cleaning his hand and taking out Ares's claw. Mourning Ares together. Accompanying him in the hospital. Seeing him reunite with his family. And now being separated forever. Once the gateway was sealed, Aurora flew me to the palace, where I locked myself inside my chambers and stared at the picture of the two of us dancing. Now, I had a few things to remember him by: the gateway, the memories, the picture, and the nightmares.

I was now officially queen now with many responsibilities. It has been 6 years since the Overlander (it hurts to say his name now) left. There were many, many days where I sat by the gateway, staring at the picture and thinking of him for as long as I could before my "queenly duties", as he would say, swept me away. I missed him terribly and I longed to see him and hug him and kiss him and to hear him talk and laugh. I constantly wished for a day where he would remove the large stone from the gateway and grin at me while I waited. And then, one day, he did. He had gained muscle and height. His scars were slightly faded, and he wore Ares's claw around his neck. His smile was the very same, and when he whispered into my ear as we embraced, I realized his voice was deeper. Later, I knew he would tell me the story of why he came back and how he did it, but at that moment all I cared about was the fact that he was there in the flesh and not in my dreams. As much as I loved having him with me, what I loved most were the expressions on Vikus, Mareth, and Howard's faces when they saw that their favorite Overlander had finally returned. But this time, I made sure he stayed for good.
