For All the Good
by SMYGO4EVA
Each day the sun rose, it was still fraught with possibility, of living each moment to its zenith.
Souma gazed in awe when she saw Amaterasu step outside in all her finery, her long dark hair blowing in the wind. The Empress truly looked like a goddess, her namesake ringing ever so true.
When Amaterasu stood before Souma, her most loyal warrior, stand and kneel in front of her, she was speechless. Her eyes glimmered with reverence and affection, and the Empress could not help but smile.
The warrior stood up from her place, and there was beautiful silence as Amaterasu took Souma's hands with her own and held them to her chest. The sun shone down upon the two women in the courtyard, where none could break apart what they shared with each other, what they had.
Finally, Amaterasu spoke to her warrior.
"You fought well. You have stood by me all these years, all this time."
Souma looked up, regarding the young woman, her Empress, in front of her.
"Indeed, I have," she smiled and spoke aloud words she meant with all her heart. "And I will serve you forevermore, my Lady."
They had each other. What they had could never, ever be broken.
