Fairytale?

A lifetime of grief. A thousand years of waiting. Enough torment to cripple the divine.
But Sanya found Edmund, at the end of it all. He held her in his arms again. They were reunited. After all the pain, there was love.
And love seemed enough to give up everything- yet again.
Love was enough to take his hand, and walk into another realm.

But new worlds do not fix old aches- and they can even end up creating new ones. New people, new sights, new moments do not take away from the memories of the old.
Loss- of home, of family, of love, of identity, of everything- can be pushed back, but the agony of it festers like an untreated wound.
And, really, is love- even love that has survived so much- enough to cure so many wounds, borne of too many kinds of pain?
But Sanya doesn't care. Edmund thinks that he doesn't care, either. They have each other again- no amount of teachers and separate schools and parents can keep them away from each other- and that togetherness was what was important. That was what mattered.
But the question is, I suppose- is the once-True lying to her love, or to herself, or both?
