Be my Quest

Until Then...

Astheum's POV

Lucan looks at me in shock. I sit at his side and slowly shift away from him afraid of what he thought. He's afraid of me Lilia.. I could feel Lilia become more afraid of herself than him.

"No it's okay, I'm not scared."
Lucan said smiling at me with warmth in his eyes.
I stare deep into the iris's of his eyes and knew he was telling me the truth. There were no lies in his confession.
"You're the last Per..."
"Shh..." I said placing a finger onto his lips to stop him from saying my secret out loud.
"You can't tell a soul. I am one of the three last in my kind Lucan." I said with complete honesty.

Lucan nods his head with joy and smiles at me regardless of the hurt that was burglarizing his body he still fought hard for me. I lightly chant a spell in my native tongue and Lucan's body begins to glow and float in the air. By the end of the chant he came softly back down on the ground alive and well, but I. I was not gifted with that same kind of luxury because as soon as he came down I began going up.
"Wait!" Lucan shouts reaching for me, but his hand slips through my body and he cries,
"Where are you going?!"

I cry along with him and beg my ancestors, to God, to give me sometime to I can at least explain everything to him. He was my mate and I was leaving him.
"Please..." I said crying and as a single tear dropped onto the ground. For a short while we were in a time stop and I lightly floated back to the ground running towards Lucan. With open arms he greets me and I wish he would never let me go.
"I don't have much time Lucan."
"What's going on?" He said with concern and fear itched inside of his voice.
"Since I healed you from an angel's venom I gave up my life to do it."
He looks at me still waiting for me to continue.

I take a deep breath and say,
"Since I am a Perennial I never die. I'm not strong enough right now to revive a nearly dying person. So I needed to sacrifice myself to do it. "
"What?"
Lucan said hurt, "You sacrificed your life just for me and now that I'm better than I won't be able to be with you anymore? I've waited over twenty millenniums just to be with you and you are leaving me again?"

I nod my head saying, "I'm so sorry, but if you died... I would of died too... You would of never came back. Now by doing this you and I will live in eternity together. We both shall never die."

Lucan held me tight and said, "There's not much that is known about your kind... Is that why you're one of the last one left because you did not have a mate?"

I nod my head in agreement saying, "Yes... I couldn't let you go... Not without me... Not without having a life first. I'm sorry, but my time here is up."

Lucan lightly brought his face to mine and we share a kiss. "Until the next eighteen millenniums Astheum. I will wait for you even if that means eternity."

"Yes Lucan. For eternity."
