Reincarnation.
The ability to be reborn over and over again for countless timelines.
In a specific case, a gentle soul has spanned countless lives, a different scene each and every time, hoping to stay by the side of the boy with the blue-hilted sword.
Embracing seemingly endless failure, time and time again, she stood tall and store death in the face more often than not. Still, she follows him through the trials he faces, and with every lifetime she swears he becomes more and more aware. The fact they are destined to meet, fulfill their prophecy, even if that meant the unnecessary sacrifice of her. Every time, each a different way, she fell for him in love, and death...
All so he could save the Kingdom. But all he wanted, was for her to be at his side.
He didn't want the timelines to reap with failure any longer.
