The jade dress swished around her legs as she walked through the forest. Any who caught a glimpse of her through the trees would think they had just seen a forest goddess or something else as beautiful and mysterious. The scent of the flowers she cradled in her arms invaded her nostrils as she passed through the trees and into the clearing, her destination.
She walked across the meadow and knelt in front of the carved headstones. She deposited on each a bouquet of flowers and said a prayer for them. They had died in Zaibach during which was later dubbed "the Zeus Wars". They had given their lives for what they believed in as she honored them for it.
A rustle of bushes behind her caught her attention and she turned to see what it was. She relaxed when Folken entered the clearing.
"I thought I'd find you here," he stated.
Adrina smiled. "You know me too well."
Folken crossed the clearing and knelt down beside her in front of the graves. "It's hard to believe it's been a year already."
Adrina stared at the gravestones, one silver, one gold, and nodded. "If the sorcerers hadn't corrupted them, they'd still be alive."
"They made their choice," Folken reminded, "there was nothing we could've done to change their minds."
"I know," Adrina admitted.
They stared at the graves in silence for a few minutes. Finally, Folken broke the silence. "We should get back to the palace. Lunch was almost ready when I left and if we aren't back before it's served, Van is likely to send the entire army after us."
Adrina laughed. "All right, let's head back."
Folken stood and helped Adrina to her feet. He entwined his fingers with hers and they headed back to their palace.

Yeah! It's finished!!!!! Thank you so much to Gwuinivyre for reviewing this story. You're the only reason I continued it after the first few chapters. This story was for you, Gwuinny.
I know I kinda left a few things hanging (i.e. What about Merle and Zane, what happened to Adrina and Van) but I'm hoping to write one more story and make this a trilogy. I don't know when I'll start it, but I think I'm going to make the main character Folken and Adrina's daughter. Let me know if you would like me to continue the story with their daughter as the main character. Thanks for reading!!! Love much, Candyce
