Memories (Part II)

But now he is being forced to watch it all happening once again. He was being made to view the darkest day of his life once again. However, this time he was seeing the reason why she was even there when she was supposed to be with the queen recuperating. He saw her lips moving as she rushed to where he was. She was saying something, as if uttering a prayer.

Why did she sound like she knew what he was about to do? How did she even know? He had never mentioned his plan to her – ever – because he had not wanted her to worry about him. He did not want to give his beloved any burdens to bear. So how? How had she even known that he was at the abyss at that moment?
