Phoenix's Hero
Phoenix decided to take a month off to recover, healing the Neimoidians using samples of her blood as an brew, took a lot out of her. By dabbling in a new hobby.
She packed up her napsack with the things she needed, she walked to a clearing in the woods of Cato Neimoidia, sketching in her sketch pad, of the many species of beast and flauna, that the planet provided.
Trying to take her mind oof, of the previous events that happened here. No matter how much she tried, she couldn't get her beloved viceroy out of her head, she long to see him one last time, for closure sake.
I miss you, Gunray. She muttered to herself.
She turned her attention back to whatever she was sketching, when she noticed that the nuggest around her locket were glowing. She didn't know it at first, but her wished was about to be granted.
Why is it doing that? She thought to herself, then it hit her, when she began to hear humming from behind her. Unless... She turned half of her body around, to find the source of the humming.
A soirit of an Neimoidian srood before her, standing tall and proud, a long scar decorated his torso, a hole were his heart should be in the right side of his chest.
"Gunray..."
Hello, my beloved vixen. he greeted her. He came closer to her, taking her hand, helping her to her feet.
He gave her a small bow, a hand outstretched. May I have this dance. He wanted to treat his vixen, after being gone for so long.
She grnated his request. "It will be my pleasure."
Gunray placed his hand around her waist, as Phoenix did the same with hers.
He started to hum a few bars of their song. Til he got to a certain line: I have died for the one I love. Phoenix sang the next line: hold me in your arms tonight"
He continued to hum the rest, after that. As he finished the song, their dance had ended.
She began to snuggle in his embrace, as long as she wanted to.
He didn't want to leave her, but he had to, he hated to shatter this peaceful moment.
He began to say his final farewell.
Phoenix.
"Yes Gunray, what is it?"
Can you forgive me?
"For what?"
For having to leave you.
"So soon."
I'm afraid so, I would like to thank you.
"For what?"
For saving my soul, if it wasn't for you, I would be spending an eternity in eternal damnation and for watching over my people.
Even though Phoenix didn't show it, trying to be strong, he could somehow sense her sorrow.
Don't be sad Phoenix, I will always be with you, inside your heart.
