"Therefore we do not give up, even though our outer person is being destroyed, our inner person is being renewed day by day, for our momentary light affliction is producing for us an absolutely incomparable eternal weight of glory, so we do not focus on what is seen, but what is unseen, for what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal"
~2 Corinthians 4:16-18

Everything was white except for the dark figure in front of me "You'll never win" it snarled "and you'll never see her again"

My heart dropped at his words because I knew they were true "you don't know that, I will find a way" I growled

He laughed manically "oh brother you over estimate her power" he said "and I over estimate yours, get ready garroth"

He lunged at me going for my throat, I twisted my wrist and blocked his attack, pushing him off I kicked him where the sun don't shine, he got up like nothing happened and swung at my neck

I ducked and jabbed at his gut, he blocked it and kicked me in the face, I stumbled back and felt myself losing consciousness, NO I have to win for aphmau, I thought to myself

Jumping up I rushed forward and slashed at his chest, he tried to block it but was a little late, while the cut wasn't fatal it was deep and would slow him down "you'll pay for that brother" Zane said jumping up and stabbing my shoulder

I screamed in pain and fell to my knees, he raised his blade to deal the final blow, his mistake

As fast as I could manage I jabbed out and struck him through the heart, he gasped "your no brother of mine Zane" I snarled pulling the sword from his chest

Zane fell to his knees and clutched his chest "by bright light, and mine own might, dark will come again through the night, through the night they will come to end your life by your son" Zane took one last breath and died

I got up and looked to where the portal was, it glowed a bright white light, I closed my eyes and groaned

The light disappeared and I opened my eyes, I gasped, there she was the love of my life, standing In front of the open portal "A-Aphmau" I said

She smiled her beautiful bright smile and nodded, I rushed forward and pulled her into a hug "garroth I've missed you so much" she said in her angelic voice

"I-I love you Aphmau" I said pulling away from the hug, I looked deep into her shimmering hazel eyes, ran my fingers through her silky Raven hair, and placed my lips over hers

She seemed shocked at first but melted into the kiss "I love you to" she said pulling away

I kissed her again, and in that moment I realized that our love would last forever
