**Sorry this took so long to upload... no ideas came to me until now. This chapter needs a better title, but I'll fix that later. Well hope you all enjoy!**
As night crept over land, our traveling came to an end. He traced the land searching for a place for us to rest, but came across nothing. I don't know how our night will be spent, but I do hope we stay safe. As he slowly drifted to sleep, I lay awake staring at the many stars above me.
Slowly, their voices reached my mind, telling me to reveal my secret to him.
I cannot, I said softly in my own tongue. Beside me, I fealt his body stirr a bit, but he did not awake to my voice. I sighed hevaly and closed my eyes. I arose to my feet, my eyes opening up to the night's darkness surounding me. I walked by myself, without his arms protecting me. I sadly gazed over my shoulder, watching him sleep peacefully under a blanket of stars. I whispered an anceant spell, waiting the words to reach his ears. I turned and walked into the forest, feeling his presence following me.
As the light given from the stars showed me a clearence in the thick forest, I knew that here he would find out the truth about our lives and our fate. A tear drifted to my eye as I arose my arms, waiting for my light of truth to find my body. As more tears came, the light grew bigger and stornger, getting closer and closer to the truth.
I heard the snarls and groans of a battle all around me, and I heard his heart skip a beat. All around me, images created through the truth faught eachother. I could see him. He watched these images in horror and fear. I knew he thought he didn't understand, but I knew he knew.
I could not hold in the sorrow anymore. I let out a strong whimper as my streangth was fading through these images. I finally droped my arms and my light of truth faded. I turned around sadly to face him, hoping he would still remain strong.
He ran over to me, and through his eyes, I could see his fear taking over him.
It is what might happen... not what will happen. He reached his hand to my face, and held my tear-streaked cheek. I looked at him, my eyes searching his, one to another and back again. I am sorry, I said. You... you had to... realize the... My strength left me, and all faded black in his arms.
