Inside the room, the steady breaths of a sleeping young man echoed faintly.
Although the room was dimly lit, Aurora could see her lover clearly as if it was day.
She looked at him affectionately and gently brushed aside the hair that clung to his face.
'His hair had grown longer,' Aurora thought as she lightly caressed the side of Lux's face. The Half-Elf was in deep sleep, so he remained undisturbed by her loving touch.
She felt a faint ache in her heart, knowing that her lover looked very tired not because of their lovemaking, but because of everything that had happened since he had been freed from the block of crystal.
The news of his lovers losing their memories of him was a heavy blow that he was unable to easily recover from.
Yet, just as things were getting a bit better, the Abyssal Lords attacked Agartha, forcing him to leave Iris and Cai behind in order to accompany her in protecting her kingdom from those who wished to destroy it.
