The years in between; Garmau

Reunited Pt. 4

Still Aph's POV:

I turned around to see Garroth lying on the ground, a jet black sword stuck halfway through his chest, "N-no..." I barely whispered. I could barely make the words form in my mouth, least actually make noise at such a sight. Hot tears rolled down my face, and hit the cobblestone beneath me, as I sprinted to Garroth's side, kneeling to reach him.

I quickly took the sword out of his chest, but what worried me was that he didn't make a sound. I flung the sword to the side in rage, I felt like I had already lost him, me being my stupid self. "A-a-a-aphmau...." Garroth squeaked. I quickly turned to him, and a sudden thought popped into my head.

"Garroth!" I said, my voice shaky but filled with the little hope that I had left, "Please, just hold on," My tears rained down onto his bloodied chest, "I'll heal you! Just like that day in the woods!" I tried to summon all the magick energy I could muster, having just used my form to defeat Zane. I took a deep breath, and set my hands over his heart, but I felt nothing. Not a single spark, not any warmth. Nothing. "Irene damn it!" I exclaimed, but I refused to give up. I set my hands to his chest only to once more be disappointed.

"A-aph... Please... do--"

"NO." I said firmly, "I will not loose you," I half sobbed, "We ne--"

"'W-we?' Aph, please,"

"Damn it Ro'maeve, I," I stated, "I need you. More than anyone in Phoenix Drop, or O'kasis," I started to cry more, "Or anyone alive on this planet, I. Need. You." "Then," He barely made out, I could tell he was already on his way to the clouds, "Do this one thing." "Yes?" I had started to loose all hope for him to live now. "Let me go, Aph." I couldn't believe the words I had just heard.

He.

Wants me.

To just let him go?

"Would that make you happy?" I asked, "Beyond the moon, love." He barely smiled at those last words, and then everything seemed to move in slow motion.

I could see the last twinkle in his eye, the last smile his lips would come to, and I set those very lips upon mine. When I pulled away, I could see his eyes drift back to mine, the corners barely crinkling once again. Those icy blue eyes I had gotten lost in so many times. The blonde hair that shimmered in the sun. It all drifted to dullness, as that light at last left his eyes.

 "IRENE FREAKING DAMN IT RO'MAEVE!" I wailed, and I sobbed, for about a minute straight. What had just happened? How could I have been so foolish? My plans always fail. End in mere disappointment and heartbreak every, single time. I knew I loved him so much, so why did I have to go and do that?

And then I felt it.

It was as if there was one last bud left on a burnt down tree, and it finally blossomed. It was as if I had been trying to undo a lock and it finally clicked open. It was as if I was letting out a pure love and joy that had been repressed for years.

 I blinding white light bloomed from my hands that were wrapped around him, encircling us in a sphere of light. The man in my arms seemingly absorbed that very light, and his wound seemed to glow. In a blink of an eye the man I loved was staring back at me.

How?

"Is this a dream?" I timidly asked. Garroth then sat up, and cupped my face with his hand, "You tell me if this feels real." He said, smashing our lips together in the darkness of the dungeon.
