Time: now
Place: She'ol
He had been wandering the realm of She'ol for a few days now. Yet time held no meaning for him , it was the tought of one person that kept him going. He had been watching her for a few days now, knowing where she was and what she was doing, always there to keep an eye out for her...
He had seen Jaeden as she had enterd this realm, she had been talking to one of her children or so it seemed. He had listened and then walked up to them and heard about the offer she was making for him. He could return, but what would he sacrifice for it. The choice was made quickly he would place his life in her hands, knowing there was nothing else he could offer her. His mind raced back to the beginning of all of this, the time when he was a well known face in the court, the place where he died as well...
Time: The past
Place: Meridian, the Castle and the sanctuary
It had been a wonderful night when she walked in, his eyes caught her flaming red hair right away. It had costed him a few nights to approach her. but when he did it changed his world for good. together they had spend time together, talking, enjoying the view of the sea, admiring her art. He had been on more then one occassion sitting next to her bed, watching her lovely face as she slept, later he heard she had been watching her. it was a wonderful time, one night he told her his feelings for her went beyond friendship and towards love, he feard to be laughed at yet it never happened. she had watched him and then told him she loved him as well, that night they did more then talking and they came closer by the passing days. Together they could take on the world, he was sure of it at that time. then one day she told him about the nightmares, and in his innocence he ghouled her, trying to keep her out of harms way, yet the dreams didn't end there. He found out the current source then and in his gruff and old ways he told the man to leave her alone, wich he did, altough there was still a score to settle, and it would happen soon. All went well for a few months then dissaster struck once more, he got attacked and nearly killed in the attempt, he got out barely and vanished into the night, leaving the one he loved behind. He never told here where he went, afraid to hurt her or let harm come her way. All was well, he was roaming the area where a castle was located and one day she walked in, he was afraid first and then walked up to her, doubting she would even remember him, yet all of it was false, she still loved him and showed it to him. They were together once more, and for a while they were happy and then moved towards the sanctuary. Here they accepted the offer from Jaeden to step into the ranks of Knights, together they joined, they were married and had a son, then he was approached by a brother in the blood, and he couldn't refuse. in the end it brought him here, in this desolated area, alone and deprived from her
