Your grasp tightened on his hand as you both looked out from the cliffside.
You had finally done it, you were free.
"Beautiful, isn't it?" You said as you tightened your grasp again.
They nods as a pleased smile crossed their face.
The sunset was beautiful, golden streams of sun rays bursting through pink and purple of blooming clouds.
"How long do you think we have?" You spoke in a hushed voice as their smile faded.
Their grasp tightened on your hand, "I don't know, but let's just enjoy the moment and worry later."
You could only agree, they were right. This would be the last time you would probably ever to get to enjoy a moment like this with them, so you remained quiet.
It felt like ages although it was only a moment. But that moment..
It felt so true, so lovely, so free.
You felt airy and alive, something you hadn't felt in years.
They pulled you back as embers began rising from the burning village below.
"I can't believe it worked," they say as they turn to you.
"Me neither," you say as you smile.
You had freed yourselves alright.
With a price.
