A CLANDESTINE LOVE, AS OLD AS THE STARS

"Yes Zagaroth, what would have happened if I had eloped with you all those years ago?"

Zagaroth gave a soft genuine laugh.

A rare sight.

"How can I ever answer that?" He asked in return. He walked over to a chair in the garden, and Yori followed taking a seat behind him. Together, they sat and looked up at the star filled sky.

"There's no way to know what would have happened if we'd made a different choice." Zagaroth took her hand in his, his grip gentle and firm. Their eyes met and she saw the sincerity in his gaze. "But what I do know," he continued, "is that we would have been happy. We would have had two adorable two adorable kids and a dog, living in our own little world." He paused and sighed. "The queen would still be alive, and zeldox wouldn't exist. Most importantly, I would have a purpose in life. So there's your answer, we can only imagine what might have been, but we can't change what actually happened."
