A/N: I hope you guys do not mind some variety, so I will give you
something not by Celine Dion or ABBA.

The sun rose, and he knew that he was very close to Selenity, but as he
looked out over the landscape, she was nowhere to be seen. Elios kept
walking, and looking for a sign of Selenity, any sign. He searched for
hours, then sat down. He could not see her anywhere, and yet, he just knew
that she was almost right next to him. He placed a hand behind him and
leaned back. Elios then looked over his shoulder, and saw something
silver. Getting up, he felt it, and realized that he was touching a lock
of hair. About two feet away from him, Selenity's body was laying in the
grass. He swept her up, and teleported back to the temple.
Selenity opened her eyes, and let her vision adjust to her surroundings. Her ankle gave her no pain as she sat up, and put weight on it. Then, Elios walked into the room, saw her, and kissed her. "Elios, you found me!" He nodded, and tears of joy ran down her face. "Of course I did, Selenity, I could feel where you were the entire time."
Elios kissed her again, more deeply this time, and when he pulled back, he said; "Gods I missed you." He pulled her to her feet, and held her close. "And I you."
"I was forgotten
Until you called my name
Lost in the shadows
Until you shined your light my way
Now I believe again
In all my dreams again
I'm wide eyed and innocent
Those doubting days
Are so far away and oh
I will fall
And you will catch me always
Time has taught me this
I will fly
And you'll be there to guide me
Straight up to my heart's highest wish
I feel you close to me
And I know what love is
Now there's no mountain
Too high for me to climb
No ocean so wide
That I could not reach the other side
Now I believe in me
Cause you live and breathe in me
And nothing can come between
We are one star
No night can darken, Oh
I will fall
And you will catch me always
Time has taught me this
I will fly
And you'll be there to guide me
Straight up to my heart's highest wish
I feel you close to me
And I know what love is
It's an unspoken thing
A quiet opening
There are no words that can go that deep
But I know
I know
I will fall
And you will catch me always
Time has taught me this
I will fly
And you'll be there to guide me
Straight up to my heart's highest wish
I feel you close to me
And I know what love is."

"Selenity I." She placed a finger on his lips. "Do you forgive me?" Elios laughed softly. "There is nothing to forgive." He bent down over her, touching her cheek with his palm, and at the same time brushing her hair back, but then, the door swung open, and he abandoned any thought of kissing her right then. His mother entered, and he pulled his arm from around Selenity's waist and took her hands. Brushing his lips over her knuckles on her right hand, he leaned in close enough that their lips were almost touching, and only she could hear him. "Not yet, but soon." Selenity nodded, and he pulled back slightly. "Selenity, this is my mother, and Mother, this is the woman that I love." His princess blushed, and took his mother's hand. "It is very nice to see you again, though you likely don't remember meeting me."
"Yes, actually, I do, even though I was only about seven-years-old." Elios was a bit surprised by this, but he just let it go. His mother let Selenity's hand fall, and turned. "I will leave the two of you to. talk." Selenity's eyes widened for a second, and he himself was much more surprised now. "What does she know?"
"I haven't said a word. How did you get your father to let you come here?" Elios said; the farthest they had gone was his kissing her neck, but that still was not something he wanted his mother to know. She smiled. "Elios, he didn't let me come. The only person who knows that I am here is my mother." He sat down on the bed and pulled her onto his lap. "What is going to happen now? Selenity, he told you to leave me for your own protection, and I cannot easily argue with that." Selenity reached up, and he kissed her as she pulled his face towards her's. "I have a feeling that none of that will matter now. I would give everything to be with you Elios, I was dying inside, but now, I feel whole again. I want to spend the rest of my life with you, if you'll still have me." The question in her eyes made him smile. "Of course Selenity, after all.
Through the darkness
I can see your light
And you will always shine
And I can feel your heart in mine
Your face I've memorized
I idolize just you
I look up to
Everything you are
In my eyes you do no wrong
I've loved you for so long
And after all is said and done
You're still you
After all
You're still you
You walk past me
I can feel your pain
Time changes everything
One truth always stays the same
You're still you
After all
You're still you
I look up to
Everything you are
In my eyes you do no wrong
And I believe in you
Although you never asked me to
I will remember you
And what life put you through
And in this cruel and lonely world
I found one love
You're still you
After all
You're still you."

Selenity had tears in her eyes when he kissed her. "I'm so in love with you." He said against her lips, and she smiled. "I'm more in love with you." She said, and let him kiss her one last time. "We should go back to your palace." Elios said, and she realized that they really had no other choice. "Yes, I suppose that you're right." They stood, and his arms went around her, making her breath catch in her throat.
Selenity opened her eyes, and let her vision adjust to her surroundings. Her ankle gave her no pain as she sat up, and put weight on it. Then, Elios walked into the room, saw her, and kissed her.
