It started out as a feeling
He could feel her around him, in every little particle of the enchanting lake; sense her in a more complete way than ever before.
Which then grew into a hope
He was there, he had found her nook.
Which then turned into a quiet thought
Fitz began to collect every memory he had of Sophie. Every wonderful, hilarious, tragic moment he could think of. Every single person who loved her. Everything.
Which then turned into a quiet word
He pushed those memories out, overpowering any remnants of brokenness in her nook, filling all the gaps with the memories. He started to call out to her, begging for her to come back.
And then that word grew louder and louder
His voice grew, never faltering, ever growing stronger as he called out to her. He never stopped sending her memories.
'Til it was a battle cry
He was yelling screaming at her to come back.
I'll come back when you call me Just because everything's changing
No need to say goodbye
Doesn't mean it's never been this way before
He was sending her images of when she was healthy, when she was happy. Memories of her laughing, blushing, brushing her hair behind her ear as was carefree with the people she loved.
All you can do is try to know who your friends are
Memories of himself, Dex, Keefe, Biana, Marella, Jensi, Grady, Edaline, Alden, Della, Elwin, Tiergan, and her human family.
As you head off to the war
He was telling her no matter how bad things got him and all of these people would always be there for her.
Pick a star on the dark horizon and follow the light
He could feel her light growing, warmth coursing through everything, reaching out of the nook and into her mind.
You'll come back when it's over
No need to say goodbye
The light grew, her inflicting, and encasing every part of her mind, dulling the edges of the broken memories.
You'll come back when it's over Now we're back to the beginning
No need to say goodbye
It's just a feeling and no one knows yet
He could see her memories now, of when she was a child, scared and alone.
But just because they can't feel it too
Of when no one understood her.
Doesn't mean that you have to forget
But the memories kept coming, pain and joy, misery and love, all as one.
Let your memories grow stronger and stronger
More and more came, memories of her whole life, even of him, merging with the warm light of her sweet inflicting.
'Til they're before your eyes
She was in complete control now, floods of memories pouring out, rushing everywhere. More than he could have ever imagined.
You'll come back when they call you
No need to say goodbye
He could feel her awakening; feel her mind healing, her heart beating faster. It was an organized chaos. A beautiful storm. In his actual body he was aware of her eyelid fluttering and color returning to her flushed cheeks.
You'll come back when they call you
"Sophie?" He shouted to her, praying she could hear.
No need to say goodbye
"I'm here."
Wow. Its done already. I can't believe it. Thank you everyone who has been reading this story, I hope you liked it. Guess this is good bye for now, (though I do intend to write more soon) But, until then, Adieu, Adieu, auch weidersehen, good bye.
