Magius shivered, as he walked through the dirt path. The sun had lowered across the horizon, and it felt oddly cold outside. The memories of the Test still juggled in his mind. He had no one to tell about his decision except Amarra.
Walking down the path to the lake, he saw Amarra pacing back and forth, tapping her staff impatiently against the soft grass. It took her a second for her to realize that Magius was there. Then she turned around and greeted him full heartedly. "You passed the Test!" she said with glee, then her mood changed when she realized the expression on Magius's face. Her staff disappeared from her hand and she walked over to him, "Magius? Are you okay? What's wrong? Did the Test do something to you?" Her body quivered, afraid that Magius would have a very atrocious answer.
Magius looked away from her, "I'm a renegade mage now, Amarra. I understand if you wish not to look at me now." When he looked into her violet eyes, instead of her eyes holding fear or disgust, they held understanding and love.
"It was what Lunitari's message announced, wasn't it?" She replied, looking into his blue eyes.
He nodded his agreement, too ashamed to speak.
"You will be leaving I assume," Amarra's voice cracked with sorrow, and Magius nodded once more.
Then Magius became slightly stunned, as she came to him, and wrapped her arms around him into an embrace, "Let me come with you. I want to be by your side no matter what."
He tapped his staff letting it vanish so he could have his hands free. Her body was soft against his, and reluctantly but gently, tore her body from his. Holding her at arms length, he looked sternly into her eyes, "I'm sorry Amarra. There is too much danger involved. I don't know what I'd do if you..." his sentence trailed off, then he started again, "You must stay here, and learn as much as you can, I don't want you to have the same reputation as me."
Amarra shook her head, tears welling in her eyes. It pained her to have someone she loved dearly leave her. "NO MAGIUS!! I don't care if I end up dead, or if my reputation is corrupted. Let me come with you. Magius...I love you! Please let me come I won't be a burden, I swear upon Lunitari." Her body trembled.
Magius only shook his head, "I can not permit you to voyage with me. The war has to come to an end. I have to go alone. You must undestand."
Amarra did understand, and knew she was being greedy. She flung her arms around him, and cried on his shoulder. Mustering up energy, she queried, "Will you come back to me alive? Promise me you'll come back to me alive!" She looked into his eyes searching for an answer, but his silence told her he couldn't promise.
"I'm sorry," he hugged her tightly and kissed her passionatly. He lowered her to the ground, feeling her soft figure under him. He ran his hands through her hair and her fragrance overwhelmed him with pleasure. He wanted to remember her for always. He refused to undo her robes. He was afraid if he undid her robes, he wouldn't be able to leave her. He looked into her eyes once more, and she ran a hand down his chest before reaching into her robe, and pulled out a velvet pouch. She pressed it into his hands, before kissing him again.
Taking the pouch into his hand, he chanted something under his breath, and soon Amarra fell asleep under the spell. He stood up looking down at her, "Please forgive me," he told her, while she slept under his spell, "When the spell wears off, please understand that I do love you deeply, and I don't want to put you in harms way."
He turned his back to her, and gripped the pouch tightly before opening it. Inside was a red gem, that shined brightly. It was on silverish-red chain. The magic of the gem echoed to him. He knew it was to remind him of Lunitari, but instead it would remind him of Amarra. He put it back in the pouch, and left Amarra in her slumber, as the wind danced around him.
