Chapter 5: Living forever sucks

Stefan's POV

For a few years I watched over my niece, her name is Astraia. She was named after the goddess of justice, which I find kind of Ironic. Her name also means star, which describes her perfectly.

As she got older I stopped keeping an eye on her as much. Once she hit the age of 10, I knew that I no longer needed to worry as much. I still kept an eye on her from time to time. The reason for this is because she started practicing magic. Like her father she was a natural at it.

However once she hit the age of 16 I knew that I was no longer needed around. By that time she had fully grown into her magic and could defend herself if she needed to.

After a few years of not seeing her, I decided to track her down again. When I found her, I learned that she was to be married soon. So I decided to stick around for a little bit in order to see what kind of man she was getting married to. The man was wealthy and he seemed to really love her. This was a good combination if you ask me.

After Astraia's wedding I decided to leave once again because I trusted that she would be fine.

A few more years went by and I learned that she was a mother of two beautiful children, one boy and one girl.

This is when I decided to stay away for good. Seeing Astraia have children only reminded me that Silas wasn't there to witness it.

I felt guilty that I got to watch over and get to know Astraia but Silas didnt.

I felt guilty that I got to watch some of Astraia's happiest moments of her life and Silas didnt.

Five years after that I received news that Qetsiyah was hunted down by the Travelers and executed for the creation of the Immortality spell.

You would think that I would be happy that she was killed but I wasn't. I was saddened by the news because as much as I hated Qetsiyah, I couldn't help but remember all the goods time we had. Qetsiyah, Silas and I were the best of friends until it was ruined by Amara.

I know I shouldn't put all the blame on Amara but if she had never shown up then maybe we wouldn't be in this position. Silas wouldn't be locked away, Qetsiyah could have survived, I wouldn't have to watch my niece from a far. Overall I can't help but hold some resentment towards Amara.

After the news of Qetsiyah's death I couldn't bring myself to go see Astraia. I couldn't handle seeing her upset about her mothers death. I would feel even more guilty about not being there for her throughout her life.

Stefan's POV

Today I received news about Astraia's death, I cried for days. Grief consumed me and I couldn't bring myself to do much of anything.
