(Third Person's P.O.V)

The weather was bright and warm once Zack entered the Paradise of Gardanhia. The sky was clear blue. The sun beams over his face as the fresh, fragrant, and chilly breeze kisses his cheeks. He breathes in deeply before continuing walking in.

He wanders up the mountains and heads straight to where there are most blue cherry blossom trees.

When suddenly, he came into a halt when he noticed something underneath the biggest and most bloomed cherry blossom tree ahead close to the cliff.

His eyes widen when he sees a long white as snow hair flowing steadily to the west in soft waves. His heart pounded loudly inside his rib cage.

Slowly, he resumed walking leisurely with his heart racing with every step he takes.

Then, he began to see a figure of a woman wearing a white flowy sleeveless dress, standing beside the tree while gazing upon the whole of the paradise. He could see the woman's rich luster fair skin that seemed to glow under the brilliant gleam of the sun above. The breeze was gently blowing several of the blue cherry blossom petals that had fallen from the trees.

The woman's back was on him so he couldn't see who it was, but his heart already recognized the white haired maiden.

Zack's heartbeat races even more. It can't be...

He began to pick up his pace and quickened his steps until he was running towards the woman.

"Starlight!" He called her.

As though the time had slowed down, everything around him blurred with his attention solely on the girl.

Slowly, the girl turned towards him.

Zack felt his whole being soar with indescribable euphoria and longing inside his chest when a pair of stunning jewel-like crystal blue eyes met his blazing passionate crimson ones.

The woman's eyes slightly widened in surprise as soon as she saw him. "Astrid."

Zack was panting when he reached her. "It's you." He says between gasps.

A beautiful smile then bloomed on Starlight's face. "Finally, you found me."

A wide grin stretched on Zack's face. His eyes glistening with tears. "I-"

Starlight's smile turned flat. "But it's too late."

Zack's beaming face faltered. "What?"

Tremor began to break through beneath the earth. His surroundings gradually began to darken.

"You're too late." Starlight whispered with her eyes mirroring disappointment.

Everything was withering.

Horror stricken through Zack's face when Starlight's form began to erode. Her glow was dimming.

"No!" Zack gasped with intense feeling of fear and shock coursing through his body.

Zack reached for her hand but she stepped back. "Goodbye, Astrid." She speaks with a melancholic smile on her face and falls off the cliff.

Zack's heart tightened. "No! STARLIGHT!" He screamed in terror and tried to reach her but it was too late.
