Chapter 10

I collapsed onto a pair of warm arms, the sword still embedded in my chest. My expression was blank, my body numb. I looked up to witness the same beautiful face that I sought to see.

I gave a wry smile. "... I may be an awful creature after all. Between you... and me. This would be our last memory... together."

Cherche's face was expressionless, her long hair covering her eyes.

I placed my hand on her cheek. It was still warm, but the softness was tainted by wet tears. She firmly grasped my hand, as she was still weeping silently.

In the distance, Grima's body, surrounded by purple, dark aura, was slowing fading away, disappearing, part by part. It seemed as though I shall also part ways with this world soon.

It was my-... no, our final victory. A victory that would save the future forever.

"... Not much time left, huh?" I glanced to the side, barely having any strength left in my body. "Maybe... some final words?"

An entity fluttered within our sight. It danced elegantly in the clearing skies. The darkness was slowly swallowed up by reminiscing light, causing the object's wings to sparkle. As it buzzed around the two of us, it slowly, with grace, landed on Cherche's hand, the same hand that was grabbing mine.

Cherche finally broke her silence. "... You owe me... one more memory."

I gave a wry smile as the fell dragon was more than halfway through its disappearance. I closed my eyes as Cherche brought my body close to hers.

"Mmh..."

We locked lips, warmth immersing through my disappearing body. Through all the numbness and cold, I felt alleviated with warm strength, passion, and affection. My heart was immersed in pleasure, my soul in comfort. Our kiss gave a special sensation I wouldn't dare let go.

As our lips parted, I gave a meagre smile. "You really do make first-time experiences unforgettable... Thank you... for making my dream come true."

Cherche gave a smile, opening through her tears that glistened in the new light. "Robin... please cherish each and every one of our memories together... forever."

My body was feeling lighter and lighter. Grima's existence is winding down to its last final seconds. I simply looked into her beautiful eyes for the final time. "I promise I'll never forget them. They will always forever be by my side.'

"... I love you, Robin."

"... I love you too, Cherche."

Those last words echoed quietly in the battlefield as my sight was fully enclosed by blank white.

At last. This was the fate I fought for.

It was finally the end.
