Luke's POV
"Be honest with me," I said, "I trust you to do that."
"Is that your wish?"
"One last wish."
"I've always been honest with you Luke," Katana said, tears coming, "I don't know how I would live without you beside me."
Eleven fifty-nine.
"We don't have much time Katana," I said. I took my hand and rested it on her face, feeling her warmth. I close my eyes and kiss her gently. Katana, my beautiful wife. We wasted so much of our time. So many things we left unfinished.
I open my eyes and I'm on the beach. The wind has ceased the tall grass silent and stoic. The waves breaking on the shore are silent. The sand is warm, the air fresh; cool. I see him, closer than he has ever been. He raises his hand and waves at me. I smile and wave back, tears streaming down my face.
"Katana?"
Silence. She is not here. I am alone, but he is here. I kneel down on the sand and open my arms. I call my son's name.
"Blaze."
The little boy on the beach, someone who has only ever been in my mind for so long comes running towards me. His smile I remember, but his voice. I had forgotten what he had sounded like. How could that happen? All these dreams and he never spoke, the wind silencing him. But now I can hear him, calling for his father. The moment we embrace I hold onto him as tightly as I can, promising never to let him go again. I do not know what to say to him; to the son I lost so many years ago. I look at him, staring at his face. So much like his mother. Everything about him is as I remember.
"You rememberthis place?"
