This, is the last chapter and to those who got confused as to why everything reset itself..gets explained in this chapter..
Absent haearted answers.
They searched, and searched for clues of what could be but so far…nothing lead them to an exact or concrete lead, and they for the most part became frustrated – well Noel did, After realizing what he was Eon could feel no emotion outside of complete care and concern for the two females behind him. Of course he knew, better than anyone else – his feelings were because they created him, he was created to help them and or possibly hinder them.
"Can we just give this up already" Noel stopped
"What do you…?" Vanille asked Eon sighed
"I guess, either way, I'll have to right? Even if we do find one it won't make a difference" Eon looked at the girls wearily
"What are you talking about, Eon?" She could honestly feel the care radiate off of her and that's probably what scared him the most about leaving her
"I never did explain to you, what I am did I…what a paradox is?" Eon asked his tone bearing with it an omen and concern grew on the pinkette's face
"N-No" She stuttered
"I shouldn't physically exist within this place, both of you, are dreaming this perfect world, where nothing bad had ever happened, I am nothing more than the part of your minds that wants – needs you to wake up, I'm shielding you…I'm the crystal you two are sleeping in, I die you two return" Eon stated simply
"W…Wha`" She felt a sharp pain past memories flooded in, everything made sense well for the most part
"But, you…you shouldn't have to die for us" Vanille's eyes brimmed with tears
"I never truly existed in the first place, you two have nothing to truly fear if I vanish" The man whispered
"But… I don't want to you to go" it came out as a whisper and he felt his heart break, tears fell
"I won't be able to leave if you don't accept it, Noel could kill me countless times but everything would reset and if you don't accept it…I won't be able to go we'd be in an infinite loop, you won't be able to get back to the world you two belong to, Vanille"
"You, you're real to me, so that's all that matters I won't let you disappear, I won't!" She shouted distraught
"If it means we can go back…I understand I know you don't exist and because of that, even though you look real enough, I'll let you go and move on" Fang muttered a bright light flashed as Fang vanished Vanille felt sad but…
"Guh," The raven haired man felt immeasurable pain and his one orphan-like eye fractured
"Now…you Vanille, you have to" He smiled at her weakly
"I…can't I can't hurt anyone, I can't forget, I so long as you're here even if Fang's not I'll be okay I'll –"Tears fell faster and he knew he was hurting her
"If I…If I had any other way, I'd go with you, I'd be with you, help you, protect you, but-"He clenched his eye
"I can't I have to get you across, to the other side the world is close to meeting it's ruin, you and Fang are the only ones who can help stop it, I cannot" Eon fell to his knees
"Only…if you make a promise with me" She sated simply
"Whatever it is I technically could never-"She glared cutely
"Just promise or I'll stay here forever!" He stood up slowly
"I honestly…wouldn't mind being with you forever, but that isn't possible, I digress…name your price Vanille"
"Promise me, even after all this, you'll stay in my heart? By my side?" Hopeful as she was he knew he could never do such a thing as much as he wanted to, it would never work out the way she'd hope it to, but he was a cocoon – a crystal – a shield to protect them to protect these two from the pain of real life, a filter for happier days while they slowly begin to awaken. Now, however, they had no more time the end of days was closing in and…he couldn't let them suffer an endless hell for his own – obviously fabricated feelings and yet, when he looked into her eyes, he couldn't help but feel love.
"Promise me, you'll always…love me?" She asked it in such a broken way that made him embrace her, his lips crashing against hers. Slowly carefully did she return the kiss they released, and she gazed into his eyes lovingly a content smile – even as tears fell.
"I'll stay in your heart, forever, I'll stay by your side for an eternity, and I will love you even after the world ends, I will…never stop." He whispered in her ear
"Even when you forget me, I'll still be there; protecting you from any and everything for I am your shield and sword, my love will give you strength, Vanille, you may be scared but, when you are…place your hand over your heart, I'll give you all the strength I can give you" He smiled softly
"I don't…want to forget you" She cooed holding him as close as she could
"I don't want you to either, I want nothing more than to be with you, but I won't be able to…forgive me," he placed a kiss on her forehead
"Just…forget me and I'll do my everything to protect you" Tears slid down his face
"C'mon, we don't have all week" Noel commented and Eon gave him a feral glare
"It was a joke sheesh…" Noel looked off in the distance
"I wanted…a bit more time with you, Eon" She said honestly
"As did I, I'm sorry I can't keep traveling with you.." He combed through her hair with his fingers
"G-Good night…Eon, sweet dreams" She smiled again sweetly even as her tears fell
He smirked
"I'll be dreaming of you, so whatever dreams that follow…will be beautiful" He chuckled a bit as she blushed
"Good…bye" She whispered a bright light took over her vision, she woke up in a bed, a dim light over her and she sat up, to see a dark sky and red lighting she shivered and put her hand over her heart
"Don't be afraid, I'll keep watching over you, you'll be safe, Vanille, now c'mon, you have an adventure to start" She felt a smile at the soft voice
"Whoever you are, thank you"
"Little did she know…when she'd get saved…she'd be reunited with the man she fell for, fate had tied them together and they'd be able to share in the dreams he had. Fate brought them together; fate would bring them back together again.
End.
