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.
- Your weakness...
- Don't say it! If you tell more I will burn and go away.
- Of course you will burn. After I say the weakness, you will burn, but you will not die because someone already accepted to burn up until death for you. A lovely person, who chose to throw everything away, even himself, for saving you.
He cried.
- No...
- Of course! It is so simple to live in a world of punishment, so we can think easily to be forgiven for our mistakes and imperfection! You were just so afraid to realize that you have been already forgiven!
- Even if loving you will hurt you forever, I don't mind to never be forgiven. Because this is all.
He finally accepted his loss. He smiled shaking his head, and kissed my eyes.
- Then don't.
- But…
- So beautiful, you are…beautiful. So in the end, I am for this. Now, tell me the thing we missed off, so we can live like you wish to. Because Vivie, I am immortal to love you.
- No one can say it better.
- Let's have it.
- Light.
We cried together and linked our heart in one.
- I love you so much Vivo. We are not good to maintain our choices. Maybe, one day, we will be no longer together but I am sure that my love will remain forever.
He closed his eyes and held me tightly.
He sighed and finally smiled.
- Yeah.
Then he burned. He burned and carried me in his clouds of blaze.
We kissed deeply, we kissed as if our moment as a millennium, we kissed as mortals, we kissed as immortals. We kissed for the life.
A light rose up, and then the sun finally appeared in the east horizon.
Aze was a little hurt but he was soon used to the warmth sensation and even came to like it a bit.
- So that's it Vivie.
- Yes, beautiful as you thought all those nights since the start, beautiful as you are.
- I finally understood my mother and all those women who preferred love to anything else.
- No. They were stupid. Like me once. By loving their lovers too much, they couldn't stand it anymore, and night with. So they chose to forget for a time their inextinguishable fondness. But in the end, like you saw with me, they always come back to their unique love, just like I did today.
- Will you not regret, Vivie?
Vivie laughed.
- Vivo, don't even ask me such thing ever again.
She sighed languidly.
- Your magic will remain my love, but your journey of immortality has ended. The time has come for you to know. So let's go together to live in this world of light you longed for, and what you finally got.
Azhewo blinked.
"I see, you were right, Darlia. Forgive me. It took me all this time, even after our separation and your death, to finally understand. I finally know what you lived with that human. May you rest in peace with him. If we are to meet again in our next life, I will fall in love with you again before returning to my love, and you to yours. Thank you. Goodbye."
- You said something, baby?
Azeo laughed and kissed her.
- I follow you.
I looked up at him who was brightened by the light, and our eyes met. He was a little surprised.
- What is it Vivie?
The young woman smiled to him and stared at him as if the moment was the summit of everything.
- Maybe we are really mortals Vivo, but it there is really an immortal thing in us then I am sure it's our love.
