In the midst of the confusion, I feel an inner strength arise, a resistance that pushes me away from the control of the Lame Crow. It's a mix of anger, pain, but also love, an immense will to save what can still be saved.
At that moment, even under the pressure of the Lame Crow, I also feel this internal struggle intensify. Every second, I realize that, despite everything, I want more than to follow orders; I want to choose what to do with my life, with my beloved.
With great determination, I fight against the very nature of my transformation, moving away from you, almost as if breaking an invisible bond. The fury of the Lame Crow, which had begun to manifest in all its fullness, comes to an impasse. He realizes that the control he had over me, and over you, is crumbling. And so I win.
The tension in the air was palpable. TheLame Crow believed his victory was within reach, but the strength of our bond, built over time, even surprised him.
When the word "connection" echoed, a wave of energy coursed through my body, something I never imagined possible. I was sharing with you not just the cell, but something much deeper, something never explicitly said but always real between us. You, with the strength of our relationship, seized this moment of vulnerability to break free.
I, somehow, already felt the weight of this connection, but seeing myself fainting before you, I understood that something greater was happening. My beloved, your anger was stronger.
Your desire for justice, for freedom, fueled your strength beyond limits I ever imagined. The fury with which you attacked the henchmen, destroying everything around you, was like an unstoppable hurricane. The laboratory, which for so long was the stage for our pain and manipulation, was destroyed by your rage.
The screams of the henchmen, the sounds of shattering glass and bending metal under impact, were the music of our liberation. And amidst all that destruction, I saw you rise, stronger than ever. As the debris fell around us, you, with your tattered clothes and eyes filled with a power I never imagined, approached me.
My eyes opened slowly, still dazed, seeing the chaos that had unfolded around us. The Lame Crow, nearly dead, was the only witness to our strength, our unity. He had no more power, and nothing else mattered at that moment. Only the two of us remained, together, finally free.
We walked through the rubble, leaving behind the laboratory, the pain, the secrets, and the manipulations. The air was thick, but there was also a new sense of freedom, as if for the first time we could truly breathe. Finally, far from everything they tried to impose on us, we found a place with no more lies.
There, under a clear sky, free from the shadows of secrets or betrayals, we sat, and for the first time, our hearts beat in peace. There was no more guilt, no more pain, just the truth between us. The connection, once forced, was now genuine, free from any manipulation. From that moment on, our relationship would be different. It would be a relationship without chains, without fears, where only the two of us existed.
What remained for the future was something only we could discover. The tension that still lingered between us dissipated like the last breeze of the storm. In silence, our eyes met, and for the first time, there was true peace between us. No more fury, no more resentment. Just the raw, unvarnished truth shared between two hearts that could finally breathe without the weight of what had separated us.
When, finally, the question left your lips, your voice soft and uncertain, a shiver ran down my spine. "Do you forgive me?" Those words, so simple yet so loaded with meaning, made the air around us seem lighter.
I looked at you, and in your eyes, I saw the same doubt I carried. But I also saw something more: a desire to start over, to build something together, without the shadows of the past haunting us. The silence between us was heavy but also sweet, as if the full moon above us, a silent witness, was blessing us with its soft light.
Without another word, without haste, we moved closer, a spontaneous gesture of those who finally understand each other without needing words. We embraced, feeling the intensity of all we had been through, but also the joy of reunion.
A timid smile formed on my lips, and without thinking, you pulled me into a darker corner of the forest, where the sound of leaves and the wind seemed to create a refuge just for the two of us.
In that place, in the heart of the night, with no one else watching, our clothes in tatters after so many battles, we surrendered to that intimacy, a fresh start without pressure, without guilt or fear.
The soft laughter and escaping tears were a reflection of our true reconciliation. What seemed irreparable before now became a distant memory, and with it, something new emerged.
The night, the full moon, the gentle winds—everything seemed to conspire so that those moments would be ours alone. The unspoken words, the forgiveness not expressed, all fell into place in that embrace, and there, finally, we knew that our hearts, now healed, were in the right place.
And at the end, as the night turned to dawn, as the first rays of light began to touch the earth, we knew that together, we would never be separated again. The reconciliation was complete, trust restored. And so, with a smile and a final look at the starry sky, we knew the future would be ours to build. Together.
You're in my arms, I look into your eyes, very close to your face, and I speak. "Luna, not for a single moment, did I blame you for any of these actions."
Luna looks into my eyes, her feelings mixed with the pain of the past and the hope that blooms in the present. She takes a deep breath, as if trying to find the courage she still lacks.
With a soft but intense voice, she replies, "I know, my dear, my master... I know deep down you never blamed me, but still, the shadows of what happened... they haunt me. What hurts me the most is that, through all this, you had to bear the weight of lies and pain. I wish I had been strong enough to stop them, to not make you go through all this..."
She hesitates for a moment, sadness mingling with tenderness in her voice.
