Again we travel across what seems to be a never-ending land. I do not see the bone chilling images anymore, his kiss took them away. All I worry about is him, if he will always be there to mend my torn soul. he suddenly stopped running, and I caught up beside him. I looked up at his elfin face, and saw horror in his eyes. He did not gaze at me though, his eyes were fixed on what I feared would come.
I too fixed my gaze upon where his lay, and I found myself on the earth where many bodies lay, slain in battle. My mouth opened, but the voice from inside of me could not be spoken. I took a step forward, still petrified by the disaster which lay below me.
They have come, I heard him say softly from behind me. I turned around and faced him. They are strong, he continued. He lowered his head and prayed for those who lay dead before us. I watched him, and slowly I felt the mourn tear my soul apart again.
He finally raised his head again, a look of sorrow filling his eyes. But tears did not fall from his face.
Let us go, he said firmly, walking over to where I stood. The three words hit me hard, but I knew he was right. Again, tears came to my eyes, but I tried my hardest to keep strong. He turned and walked back the path we took. Behind him, I followed. I cast one last glance at the dead behind me before saying goodbye.
