Wonrei was gone. His spell book was burned and Li-en was alone again.
Alone. How she hated that word. It sounded as horrible as it was in reality. It sounded empty. Just like one's heart was when one was left with no one to hold.
Li-en could still remember their first meeting perfectly. She had been alone. He found her, saved her from herself.
But even clearer were her memories of the two of them together. Fighting, striving together. She remembered when he left and she went to Kyo for help. She remembered fighting Zofus and his minions.
But the clearest thing and the most painful thing to remember was the day she lost him. For good.
Li-en began shaking. It hurt so much. She could still taste his lips on hers. Their last kiss. They had shared it until he vanished. She had opened her eyes and he was gone.
She felt so bereft with he lover gone. She was alone. But this time, Wonrei wouldn't hold her. She began to sob. It was so unfair! Why were they forever separated? Why?
Wonrei, I can't help being angry and missing you. I'm sorry I can't stop crying. It's…just hard being alone!
Just then, she felt something kick her. From inside. It couldn't be--! She was pregnant! It explained so many things!
"Wonrei," Li-en whispered. She saw him, golden glitter, hovering before her. "You didn't leave me alone. Now I'll always have a piece of you with me…wherever I go."
She didn't notice she was still crying.
A/N: This is current only to the point where Sherry and Braggo show up at the castle in South America. I do not know what happens after that. I've had this little story cooking up for quite some time.
