Sia's eyes filled with tears as she knelt before the altar, the weight of everything crashing down on her. The truth was unbearable, but she knew it had to be faced. "We've been living a lie," she murmured. "Our love… it's been a curse, a never-ending torment."
Anthony knelt beside her, his hand gently resting on her shoulder. "No, Sia. It's not a curse. It's a bond. Our love has always been a light, even in the darkest times. We've always found each other, no matter what life we're in."
"But we've died so many times, Anthony!" Sia cried, her voice breaking. "Every time, we're torn apart. Every time, we lose each other."
"I will never lose you, Sia," Anthony said firmly, his voice filled with conviction. "No matter what. This time… this time we break the cycle."
Sia looked up at him, her heart torn between the love she had for him and the fear of the unknown. "But how? How do we stop this cycle? How do we break free from the stone?"
Anthony's eyes narrowed with determination. "We need to find the truth. The stone isn't just a source of power—it's a prison. And we're its prisoners. If we can destroy it, we can free ourselves from this endless cycle."
