After a moment of crying Tura began to calm down and layed in Zomarus' arms.
"I'm sorry you had to see that part of me. Hopefully you don't see me as a weak person".
"Weak? You're so strong for standing up to Luther like that. I don't know if you remember but a while ago I crumbled to Luther's feet, and you stood there like a champ".
He held Tura close and began to pat her head.
"You're amazing…"
As those words left his mouth, Zomarus kissed her forehead, feeling her soft skin. He could barely see her face but could definitely see the blush on her cheeks.
"We should get going before it becomes dark".
"NO! … not yet, just a little longer".
Tura held onto Zomarus' leg not willing to give it up.
"Please".
"Fine. But only for a couple of more minutes then we really have to leave".
Once a couple of minutes had passed Zomarus tried to get up again and noticed that Tura was asleep. He moved her hair away to see her beautiful face and noticed how cute she really was.
"Cute…"
Soon Zomarus fell asleep and then seemed to wake up a few hours later.
~~~~~
Zomarus woke up in the middle of the night to find himself alone in the cave. He stood up and paced around the cave looking for Tura.
"Tura! Where are you?"
He turned around to head towards the exit and realized that the cave was now blocked off. Not a single way to get out. He was now in a dark cave with no one around. He ran towards the wall and began to punch it.
"I have to get out of here".
Zomarus continued to bang on the wall with no results. His sweat ran down his face as he looked into the void of darkness. The room began to grow darker and darker until he could no longer tell if he was still in the cave or in a never ending void.
From the dark void a voice echoed in, "Why leave? The fun is just about to start".
However, before Zomarus could get a word out, the void began to change. He was now back in the market from earlier that day and saw himself kneeling down as a sword was pointed at his neck.
"This is what happens when my women become sluts".
An older man stood on top of a woman's body and began to stab her repeatedly. As the woman's body began to get stabbed, the Zomarus who was kneeling on the ground began to cry out and yell.
"NOO! Don't touch her! Don't touch my beloved Tura!"
This sentence echoed in the real Zomarus' head as he ran up to the woman and identified her as Tura. This was too much for him and he tried to help her but couldn't.
"Wait! You said this would be my death. So why does Tura suffer as well."
Tears ran down his cheek as he yelled out to the void.
"Turn around kid."
As he turned around he could see his lifeless body on the ground covered in blood as the man held a sword in his abdomen.
Zomarus held his head tight and closed his eyes trying to calm himself down.
"This can't be real. This is just my imagination."
"That's where you're wrong kid. This isn't your imagination but your destiny. However, what if I told you that you can save your friend's life and give her a life of riches and gold. Would you do it?"
"Bullshit! You said this is my destiny. So that means I can't change it, so why tell me lies."
"Wrong once again. Listen to my words carefully. 'What if I told you that you can save your friend's life and give her a life of riches and gold'. I wouldn't be changing your destiny at all. Zomarus will still die but your friend will continue living. Doesn't that sound like a deal you can't refuse?"
Zomarus opened his eyes and looked around at the void once again. His eyes full of passion as he was willing to give up his life for Tura's.
"You're right. This is a deal I can't refuse. But if I found out you lied to me I'll make sure to kill you."
"Haha don't worry. For Death never lies."
Before Zomarus could react the void filled with laughter as the darkness began to enter his body until he passed out.
~~~~~
As Zomarus came to, his vision was covered with Tura's face as she came closer to his face with her eyes closed and lips out.
"What are you doing Tura?"
Zomarus' sudden question scared Tura as she jumped back with her face red as a strawberry.
"I'm sorry. It's just that."
Before she could answer his question he wrapped his arms around her body and squeezed her tight. He never wanted to let go as he softly kissed her cheek which surprised her.
"I promise to get stronger and always protect you. Even after my death I promise to leave you happy."
While Tura never wanted to end the hug his words left her speechless. To her it sounded like he was confessing to her. It definitely sounded like that, right? Well it was very early to think about marriage.
"Don't you think this is way too sudden. I mean we just met and you never know what will happen."
"Of course this is sudden, but we don't know how much time we have together. We could get attacked anytime and we need to be prepared."
Tura stood in silence as she noticed that the two of them were not speaking about the same situation. "Wait! Zomarus what are you talking about?"
"I'm talking about if someone comes and attacks us. There are many horrible people who would take our lives without a thought in the world."
"You're not talking about marriage… idiot! Dummy! Stupid!" Tura got frustrated as she hit Zomarus and ran out of the cave and towards the town.
Zomarus stood in the cave questioning what he had said wrong. He moved on and exited the cave as the sunrise came to view.
