I cried out to her with all my heart. What the hell was she doing?
"ANGEL !" I yelled out to her again when she didn't acknowledge me.
She stood there, frozen in place, her sword still in her hands pointed to her chest.
"Don't do it," I whispered. I was sure it was loud enough for her to hear it.
I didn't know what to do, I could only pray to the Light she wouldn't end herself here. She was the one who wanted to return here after all, I think she didn't expect to see it like this, however.
I was relieved for a moment when her sword fell to the ground with a loud clunk. My heart was filled with sorrow as she broke down again the next moment. I couldn't stand her crying, it broke my heart every single time. I hurried to her and hugged her, hoping to ease her pain. I was usually very good at soothing mental pain but Angel was a special case, my magics seemed to have little to no effect at times like this, as if she was lost in a place where the Light could not reach, no matter how far I extended it. I realised just how vulnerable she was, she almost comitted suicide for crying out loud. I had to be very careful with her in the future.
"Angel?"
No reaction, just her heartbreaking sobs.
"Please don't ever do that again, we didn't come here to bury you again. This time, you are stronger, and I will help you pull through. I'll be here."
I kissed her forehead as she nodded slightly.
"Look at that" I pointed at Dar'Khan's head, "do you know what that means?"
"He paid for what he did to me, to you," she looked at me, her eyes glowing.
"No," I shook my head, "he was the biggest traitor of our kindom, he was hunted by many adventurers and soldiers, by killing him I am sure you will earn a massive amount of respect from our people."
She didn't respond again.
"The northern part of Quel'Thalas is still scourge free, I am sure we could get a nice home there now."
Angel didn't flinch, she just looked at me, emotionless.
"We need you, Angel, now more than ever. These people need your help for what is about to come. I need you," I took her hands in mine, "promise me to never give up, please, promise me to never leave me alone again,"I almost yelled that last bit.
"I promise."
"Thank you," I quickly kissed her. I knew she loved me back, and I hoped it would prevent her from doing anything like that again.
I realised I hadn't even eaten yet after leaving Light's Hope when my belly made me painfully aware of that. I was too worried about where Angel had gone off to to worry about lunch, or dinner for that matter as the sun was going down fast. For once I didn't feel sad about the fact that she didn't have to eat much. All they had in the inn here were some crunchy spider legs, all the good food had been gone already, and new would arrive no sooner than tomorrow. The thought of eating a huge spider's legs alone sickened me, unfortunately that thought became reality. I had to eat something, but if I could I would have so skipped this. Angel saw that I was having trouble with it and apologised for disappearing so suddenly.
We decided to call it a day and hire a room for the night and the next few. The innkeeper's face after I told him a single room would do was priceless. It lifted Angel's spirit a bit as well I believe. After getting undressed, I cuddled up closely to her and kissed her. I kissed her with all my heart. I started moving my hands down her body in an attempt to cheer her up in another way when she halted me.
"I am sorry, Aelana, I can't, not now."
"It's okay."
I didn't want to protest when she was in this mood so I just hugged her again, tightly, my head resting on one of the wings enveloping me, enjoying her warmth and her beautiful features before I fell asleep.
