He leaned on me and kissed the part near my lips.
- Have sweet dream Vivie.
I looked at him, sitting beside me, and was trembling of guilt, his black hair seemed like moon because of the mirroring, and like I let my mind sinking in sleep, he scattered in thousand birds.
When feeling wholly his immense affection, and his heart that didn't came to hate my race, but instead came to get a hold of the greatness of feelings, I somehow felt like crying again.
When I wake up, I was still alone. The starry sky was the first thing I saw, the city also was there, the forest, the whole kingdom, everything was in their right place, nothing has undergone change, nothing except my heart.
I laughed and still laughed, maybe the condition of my humanity that kept me so long from the comprehension. But it lost importance now as his weakness appeared clearly before me, like a concrete evidence that just waited for someone to see it as it was truly. Darlia who were too weak towards immortality refused to acknowledge it. As for Vivo, what was he lacked was the strength to accept it.
I got up and walked towards the palace.
I arrived there and pushed the huge door magnificently sculpted in precious wood.
The interior was luxurious and sparkling. the great hall, the colossal luster, monumental staircases, gold and gilding, marble, glittering jewels, master paintings, chandeliers and tapestries, fabulous silk and rich velvet. Every mark that constituted the wealth was present there. A pure decorum of richness and royalty.
The dear butler appeared, and I looked at him serenely, so he left when he saw what he desired.
Maybe I calmly thought, his suit is on the east wing. I came there and I found out I was right. I felt it more for what it was.
It was decorated in blue and gold, and showed out the depth of a willing chastisement. I pulled away the curtains and looked at the east horizon where the sun should have rise. Alas, the sun didn't exist in this part of the universe. But because he wished for it.
- Vivie, what are you doing there?
Slowly I turned to him.
- Where is the sun Vivo? Why do you forbid the sun to come over.
- I asked you a question.
- Yes, I heard it. And of course, the answer is obvious. I am her to end our game.
He shut a little before continuing on.
- Vivie, do you want me to die that much?
I was shocked and cried out.
- Why such question? why would I ever wish for that? Never.
- Then why would you still tell my weakness? Don't you desire to stay with me? Do you want to leave this place that badly?
I laughed. How we got to this kind of thoughts, I was thinking.
- No, I want to stay with you forever.
- Then my weakness would still have to be significant? The greatest point isn't it that we are together?
- Justly, even if we are wholly willing to be together, a thing is missing, a significant thing.
- Which one?
I kept silence for a while.
- Before I talk about the truth Vivo, I want to ask you something.
He sighed.
- As if I could still stop you from doing everything you desire to. What is it that you desire to know?
- Do you hate yourself?
- Honestly I did, but no more. Now, I love myself.
He felt the other question, the one deeper and far more painful.
- Regret you to love Dalia? I asked in whisper.
- No.
- Why don't you regret it? After everything she did to you? I hate her, and hate her heart. So why can't you feel the same?
- Isn't it obvious? Please Vivie, don't make me say it.
- No matter the reason that lead you to not hate her, I do, and I will always. So, if I ever have to say anything for this, then I am sorry.
- I know, and I am sorry too.
I looked at him, to let him see my soul.
He moved up his arms.
- Vivo...
He moved fast and tackled me to the window. The glass cracked and shattered. My blood tainted it over but the pain was just the beginning.
- What could you understand about my pain? Despite your humanity, you are a hole of foolishness and turn away so easily from the real problem.
I stretched out my hand and caressed his pale face.
