I float looking up into the makeshift night sky I conjured from old bits and pieces of memory. I wrap My arms around my middle as the pain comes crushing me twisting me sideways. I fight back tears that I feel are not my own. It is like someone else is within me breaking, alone and pain stricken.

A name and face play at the edge of my mind and I am unable to see them but the emotions that follow shatters me but makes me feel alive in so many ways. This person is everything, the light, a weakness, salvation, and savoir. The hole reason one exists. These strong emotions confuse me. I have not felt suck strong emotions belonging to one person but who ever this is, is worth more the I deserve.

I wish I know who This person was. They are very important, someone not to be forgotten and yet that is exactly what has happened. I once knew them but now I no longer remember them. I am but a fleeting moment. That much I know about myself. I am what was conjured up from a body trying to piece back together a mind that was bowned by the dark wolf.

I am Enyo a fragment of Ethereal the blind sheep of the dark wolf. Her puppet to bind to her every wimp. I will never escape These binds that keep the shattered fragments apart. I will die before I escape or worse then My sweet escape such as death, become the whore of Valdis. His puppet to do as he wishes without protest.

Words echo through out me consuming all thought as the repeat on an endless loop. "Must save them. I have to break free the binds and save them. They need me. I must protect them from the dark wolf but he needs me more. My salvation, My weakness, my savoir, my light, and my ultimate down fall. I must break his binds and free him. Must save them. I have to break free the binds and save them. They need me. I must protect them from the dark wolf but he needs me more. My salvation, My weakness, my savoir, my light, and my ultimate down fall. I must break his binds and free him.Must save them. I have to break free the binds and save them. They need me. I must protect them from the dark wolf but he needs me more.

I must break his binds and free him. I must.)

"Enyo!!" A soft voice reaches me breaking through the words spocken of a dark broken part of myself. "Please," the voice broken with sobs calls again pleading. "Ethereal!" A deep ruff voice calls out. "Enyo, help me. What is happening to-" Azieal calls out his voice rittled with sobs. "Ethereal I can't take it. Come to me my dark promise. Come to-" Arieal calls out taking over Azieal.

I feel her pushing at the binds trying to move them enough for her to slip slightly out. I open up the void over the battle field of yesterday and land lightly on the soft grass. I look up at the dark star lite sky as the moon looms over a mountain.

I watch a figure beat it's fisted hands into the rock of a ledge close to the tip of the mountain. "Ethereal!" it yells out chocking on sobs. I float to the ledge watching him, his chest is bare and he look up at me with his tear stricken face. I feel nothing as I gaze upon Azriel the light bringer. I am void of such things but I feel Her deep emotions lingering at the furthest recesses of my mind where she is bound.

His hands fall in his lap as he sits with his feet under him and digs his nails into his right wrist. His eyes so light they are almost completely white; gaze up at me as he searched for his dark promise.

"Please Ethereal come to me." He pleads his deep voice sending shivers down my spine.

My eyes roll back as my head tilts back and I plung myself within my own mind. I find where she is bound and take her hands in mine. I lean my head against hers and force myself to take her place within the binds. She switches places with me her eyes looking deep into my own.

"I can not be free for long. She will find out and now is not the time to go toe to toe with the dark wolf. Thank you Enyo." She says to me and turn taking over me. I watch as if I am to in control but feel other wise.

My eyes role back and I look down at my weakness, my salvation. "Azriel." I say and I float down till I am standing before him. He looks up at me completely broken unlike when we fought against my mother back when we where apart of the resistance. "This is my fault. All of this. If I had listened to mother you would not be here." I say feeling at fault and worn down and I kneel before him.

He places his hand on my cheek his eyes looking deeply into my own and he doesn't look away as so many others have. "This is not your fault. I am at much at fault as you are, my dark promise. I chose you my dark promise and I would chose you again. Once we break free we will deal with the dark wolf." He says meaning every word.

"My light." I say and he gather me into his arms holding me close. I look up as he looks down and our lips touch moving together passionately. My fingers curl around his red locks as his hands slide from my back to my hips pulling me in closer to him crushing my body to his.

He rock's his hips into mine as his hands slide to my thighs grasping them. "I love your thighs, my dark promise." He says against my lips as he groans. He using his tremendous strength to lift me up by my thighs and holds me to him my legs around his hips. I wrap them around him feeling his mussels tighten where my bare flesh touches his.

He holds me close in an unbreakable embrace I never want to escape. He fills me with his love always leaving me waiting more but always satisfied. Our first and last night that promises more yet if we do not defeat the dark wolf we will never see another night like this. We must.

Morning comes to soon and with it the bind that hold us captive. We sit beside each other wrapped in each others arms. Azieal's arms fall from me as a void opens up within me take away what I felt for him moments ago. I am in a half awakened state where I know who I truely am but am unable to be myself. Azieal will not remember the last embrace of Love that our true selves shared. His light blue dule eyes fall on me with confusion. He stands stepping back from me and look down at the small home He built with his lover.

"Why am I here?" He asks me and I look out at the rising Sun wrapping my arms around my knees.

"Two souls of old sought comfort in the arms of their lovers for one last far well. We where merely their hosts for last nights events. Leave. Go to her. She shall wake soon. You do not want her to find out about last night events." I say My voice barely a whisper above the wind.

Azieal looks down at me as he pass me heading to the edge of the mountain. He stops for a moment his fingers ghosting over my scalp. That is what he is, a ghost a mere shadow of what I so desperately need but will never take part of. He steps away off the edge without a word and leave me with the knowledge of last nights events.

(what shall I do now? What can I do?) I think to myself not wanting to leave the only place I have felt true to myself. I watch as they emerge from their home hand in hand laughing but I am able to see that the laughter he shares with her is not real. It is nothing but a shadow of his true beautiful laugh that make my dark world shine like the Sun. Everything I see before me is a lie. A lie we must keep force feeding ourselves so we might have a chance against the dark wolf.
