XIX. The final moments with you.

After the conclusion of one journey, a new one begins, symbolizing the ever-continuing cycle of life's experiences. 

As a parent, I have made the decision to let my son, Kyle, embark on his own individual path, which led to us parting ways after a series of significant events.

He has set off on his own personal adventures, pursuing his own unique endeavors. The tale that unfolds from this point forward will be his own, not mine to narrate. 

Meanwhile, as I traverse a rugged path, the serene atmosphere envelops me, allowing only peace and tranquility to accompany me. Delicate fields of wheat dance gracefully in synchronization with the gentle breeze that sweeps through them. I carry the very sword that celesty once owned and gave to me.

As I approach the porch of our cozy house, my beloved woman sitting on a chair, patiently waiting for my return.

This girl, whom I vowed to take care of. The house sits on top of a hill, offering a breathtaking view of the surrounding landscape. The wind gently blows, causing the smoke from the chimney to sway in the air. The sun is setting, casting its warm rays through the blades of the windmill as it gracefully spins in the distance.

Celesty looks down the road and finds me.

I looked up on the hill and found her.

With joy, we made our way towards each other and embraced each other. We settled somewhere quiet and had our own life as we grew old.

As we approach the final moments to the both of us, laying down our bed, I reached out to hold her hand. 

With tenderness, I placed a gentle kiss on her forehead, wrinkled by the passage of time. Despite the years that had passed, our love remained as vibrant as ever. A single tear trickled down her cheek, and summoning my final ounces of strength, I raised my weary arm to wipe it away with my weathered hands.

"Don't be afraid I'm here… holding your hand," I said to her.

She slowly closes her eyes and her hand gripping tight gradually loosens.

I never imagined that I would lead the life I have now, but it has given me an opportunity to make amends. The chapter of my existence in a different world has finally come to an end. This marks the final act of my journey, as the curtain falls and I take my last bow.

Thank you for giving me this life.

As I closed my eyes just right after her, I slowly lost my strength in my hands as I grabbed hers.

We both fell asleep on our bed, an eternal sleep where we would never wake up again, never to open our eyes again.

A fulfilled promise, A redeemed second life, and a journey to be told.
