'boom', a huge ball of red flames hit Celia, enveloping her before bursting. Zack falls with a smile of victory on his face as he looks at the smoke that envelopes Celia. The smoke cleared quickly, and suddenly the look of victory was exchanged for a mixture of shock and disappointment. Celia towered in the air as a translucent ocean blue aura could be seen inches away from her body, not leaving but staying like it stuck. Celia rushed a falling Zack with her unsheathed sword, stabbing Zack through the chest. An image flashed into his mind of a girl resembling Celia floating around in a vortex of unyielding darkness and silence. "Now that I understand, this was where we first met—the place I was sent to when I died. Where the same, we were all alone, but my loneliness doesn't come close to yours; you've been alone for centuries, waiting for a knight to come rescue you from this atrocity," he said. Celia held on to her blade, driving Zack to the ground. "Im sorry, Celia, I truly am," Zack said, shocking Celia. "What are you talking about?" she replied in a shocked tone. "You suffered so much because of me; you waited for so long for someone to save you. I'm sorry it took me so long," he said, hugging her with all the passion he could muster with a gentle but humble smile on his face. Celia's eyes widen as all her bottled-up emotions burst into tears. Boom, the two crashed into the ground, " why did it took you so long, why did you leave me to suffer all alone like that, days turned into weeks, weeks turn into month, months turn into years, years turn into decades, then into centries, then by the time you new it, I was all alone for Melania leaning on the ropes of insanity", she cried as she sit on top of him with head hang low, Zack heart pound in agony as tears stream down Celia's cheeks, " I'm not gonna tell you I understand how you feel so listen I take all your pain, your suffering, your life", he said, forcing his connection with Celia, making stronger, feeling what she felt, experiencing a thousand years in a single second. "I will carry your pain and suffering. Your burden is now my burden. In exchange, I ask you to stay by my side, and if you do, I promise I'll treasure you for the rest of my life.Celia's eye's widen of what she just herd, her tears that were recently drenched in sorrow, is now brimming with happiness. Celia tries to wipe her never-ending tears of joy. She stops and says, "Technically, it's not a deal if you get nothing from it, dummy." Zack replied in a soothing tone, "Happiness, your happiness, that's what I'll be getting.".Celia responded, "You jackass," as a sign of acceptance appeared on her face. "Yep, I'm your jackass," he said, patting her head with a look of calm and relaxation on his face as if he's petting a cat.Suddenly, Zack felt his head pounding in agony. "Ah, what's happening?" he yelled as he groaned in pain. "Your time is up here, Zack; you'll wake up soon, so don't worry, the pain is just temporary," Celia said as Zack's body started to fade. "I see. so this is it then. Why don't you come with me?" Zack asked her, but her response was, "I'm not a sentient being, so I'm not able to materialize in the mortal world." "Well, that was a disappointment," Zack said, scratching his head as he looked in the opposite direction. "Later, I hope I can visit again some day, he said, smiling as his mind went back to the present in his room, where he was officially in bed sleeping.Zack opens his eye, locking it with the ceiling, blinking a few times to check if he really is back. He tried to sit up but realized that something warm and weighty was on him. He looked down, but the sheets were covering it. remove the sheets off to see what was on him, leaving him in a state of confusion. "What!" he yelled in shock. It was a person. yawn, "What with the racket? The person looked up at Zack and said, Good morning, my devilish jackass." Zack's eyes widen as he yells, "Ce,, Celia!"!
