Time Always Takes It All

The Spirit Guardian froze his steps as he turned around upon her, asking him to wait.

Nulai looked at him with a fixed gaze as she asked, "Master…can you please stay this time? I haven't seen you for a very long time. Let me show you how much things have changed since you left."

Mevron, who was hanging on the cross with a depressed look, still was conscious enough to hear her words.

What did this Spirit Guardian mean to her for her to ask him to stay in such a way as if she was longing for it? Could it be that…NO! Nobody can win the heart of a goddess like her.

"Nulai…you know I can't do that. As I promised once, I will be watching over you even if I am not here. But now I must leave," The Spirit Guardian said in an emotionless voice.

"Then can I at least see your face, Master? Just one glimpse, and I won't ever ask for anything more. Please…" Nulai asked, her voice still cold, yet one could notice the yearning in her voice.
