"In another time, in another life, I don't want you to give up your lifetime work again just to be with me, Aer. This is my prayer and declaration..."
Aer looked shocked.
His expression indicates that he wants me to take my words back. Thoughts alone are already powerful here in the Middle, what more words are, whether written or spoken.
It is even more powerful now that we have vowed to a sacred union. Now that we have vowed as soulmates united, reunited as one. Our souls are now connected for eternity.
"But Yre..."
I smiled at him, trying to hide the melancholy of knowing.
I am certain that I will die in the battle tomorrow, I can sense it. Aside from wisdom, I guess this kind of thing comes with a lot of lifetime experiences.
"We are soulmates Aer, remember? I am thinking of ascending after maybe two or three lifetimes. I am certain that you will be part of my next ones. Wherever that be, always remember that the Middle is just a training ground for all of us. Our eternity will surely come. It's just a matter of when..."
I explained, trying to make things light. I even shrugged my shoulders but Aer remained silent. He's staring at me as if he is trying to read my thoughts and my soul as usual. Now, I'm sure that he knows that something is up but of course, I'm not telling him that I might die in the battle tomorrow.
He finally sighed, resigned.
"Yre, we are soulmates so we should be together, whenever and wherever. Our next lifetimes will be a lot different from now on for sure. But for now..."
He smiled.
As much as I wanted to stare at him as this might be one of our last moments together here in this lifetime, I settled blinking. I should act normal, that this is just another day!
"Let's have a date, Yre! I miss Earth! I can't wait to spend my lifetimes there with you!"
I grinned.
And so do I, my soulmate.
So do I, Aer...
