~Love of Light and Darkness~

Chapter 9:~The Last Journey~

The next day, Emersion and Charline set off towards the western harbour of Shivanna and the Western sea of Ałíren. Emersion sat with Charline in her carriage and Charline leaned with her head against his shoulder. Emersion held his arm around his wife and he softly kissed her forehead. His memory was fading a little slower now but still pretty fast. He tried to hold back his tears as much as he was able. Charline looked up at him and smiled weakly. "I can hear them," she whispered softly, "They're calling me home," Emersion smiled weakly at him and nodded. "And you shall go to them," And he softly started to sing,

[Verse 1: Emersion]
Lay down your heavy and weary head
Night has fallen
You've come to your journey's end
Sleep now
And dream of the ones who left before
They're calling from across the different shore
Why do you weep?
Why are this tears upon your face?
Soon you will see
All of your fears will pass away
Safe in my arms
You're only sleeping

[Chorus: Emersion & Charline]
What can you see?
What can you see?
On the horizon
Why do the Gods call?
Across the sea
A pale moon arises
The Gods ship has come to carry you home

[Verse 2: Emersion & Charline]
And all will turn
Into faded memories
The light on the water
All souls will pass

Hope fades
Into the night
Through shadows fall
Out of memory and time
Don't say; You've come now to your end
Silver shores are calling
You and I will meet again

And you'll be forever in my arms
Just sleeping

[Chorus: Emersion & Charline]
What can you see?
What can you see?
On the horizon
Why do the Gods call?
Across the sea
A pale moon arises
The Gods ship has come to carry you home

[Chorus: Emersion]
And all will turn
Into faded memories
The light on the water
Godly ships pass into heaven of peace

Shaylee and Aldon looked sadly at each other. Emersion kissed his wife deeply on the lips for the last time. Charline had no idea that this was the last time she would see him.
