DON'T GO!

Jedrek then stretched out his hand and grabbed Serefina's, which had wiped his tears earlier and brought it to his lips. Kissing those trembling fingers solemnly. 

However, the king did not say anything. He just stayed still post that, hugging Serefina's cold body. 

If time were to repeat itself and they chose different paths, might they have had different endings? 

However, this was unavoidable, because at some point in Jedrek's life, he would meet Lilac because it was what the moon goddess had set in stone. 

"Don't cry, because this will only be the end of me, but not yours..." Serefina said in between panting breaths. She really didn't want to see Jedrek sad. 

Serefina would leave this way, but Jedrek still had a life he needed to live after. There was still so much work to be done.
