This chapter is a flashback.
Chapter 18
She stared up at the sky. It was starting to get dark and you could see the stars dim shine. He had asked her to come here to the temple where they had shared their first kiss. He said he needed to tell her something important, but she couldn't imagine what he could want to tell her.
Maybe he wants to ask me to marry him, she got excited what that though. She loved him very much. He was the best thing that could ever happen to her. Or what if he is going to tell me that he doesn't love me? Or that he has to go far away on some quest? Her heart raced trying to think of what he might want to tell her.
It was getting late and she almost thought he would not show. She stood up and walked around the temple, then turned toward the road. She remembered the first time she meet him. He had been injured by an Orc and had to the temple to hid. She always came to the temple to look at all of the statues and she loved to read at the feet of one of them. She had gone into the temple that day to do the very same thing, but she as she sat in between the feet of the giant statue, she noticed someone or something slumped against another statue across from her. She had gotten and went over to the form. She could tell that whatever it was was still breathing. She bent down and pulled the cape to one side. To her surprise it was a human man. He had an arrow near his heart and was bleeding badly.
She was always told to never use her magic on a human because then they would kidnap her and make her do as they wished. But for some reason she couldn't let this man die. She had healed him and that's when they fell in love. It was love at first sight.
She sighed and looked around again. Maybe he won't show, she thought, her heart sinking down lower in her chest.
Just then she heard horse hooves coming her way. She looked up and saw him. His hair was fell just below his shoulders and his purple eyes seemed troubled. She ran over to the horse and held the rains as he got off.
"Sorry I'm late," he said. He put his hands on her cheeks and kissed her.
"It's alright," she said after pulling away. "What was it that you needed to speck to me about to badly?"
"Lets go sit were we first meet," he said taking her hand after tying the horse up.
They walked into the temple and he sat down on the floor, pulling her down to sit next to him. She snuggled up to him and laid her head on his shoulder.
"Care to tell me now?" she asked looking at him.
"I have been hiding a secret from you, Elanjila," he said.
She sat back and looked at him. She didn't really know what he meant by hiding something from her.
"I would have told you sooner but I was afraid that you wouldn't like me and shun me for it," he continued. "I'm not a man."
"What do you mean you're not a man?" she asked very confused. "You're not female, I have seen you with out a shirt on."
"That's right, I'm not female either. I'm not male not female. I have no sex. I don't have a vagina like a female nor do I have a penis like a male does," he said looking at her.
Elanjila stood and took a few steps away from him. He stood to go to her, but she shock her head and kept backing up. "I can't believe this," she said.
"Elanjila, I still love you. With all my heart. That's why I told you," he said getting scared.
"No. I don't want to see you again, Myrugi. Never come near me or anything," she said. She turned a ran out of the temple.
Myrugi stood there watching her. So even you shun me? You, who said those three words, I love you, to me? Tears slipped from his eyes and hit the floor at his feet. I just can't believe you hurt me this much. Never again. I will never love anyone again, or let them know what I am. I will vanish from this earth like I was never here.
