Slowly, Reo opened his eyes, and reluctantly rose from his bed. Theywere staying at an inn for a while, the very same inn it had all started.
How did it come to this?
He carefully stepped past the rooms where Arc slept, and silently sneaked down the stairs. He ignored the enormous guilt he felt.
I love her, but I know I can't. I must leave.
Cautiously he stepped past the kitchens and out the door.
How did it come to this?
"Where are you going?"
Reo sighed.
"Look at me." Stormtracer said firmly.
He turned around.
"I have to leave." He said softly.
She looked into his eyes.
"But-"
What single glance stopped her from uttering one sentence she would have regretted her entire life.
Then, she knew.
"Go."
And so, slowly he walked away. Vanishing into the misty morning......
"Goodbye."
......never to be seen by Stormtracer again.
Arc and Lotus mated soon after, and started their own clan.
Stormtracer gave up her warrior ways and married a Ovinutrix by the name of Nightmare.
Reo-well, that's another story:)
