Knight of RPGs
Gatmuz groaned in pain as he stood, wounds instantly healing in the intense Light of Miracles.
He felt his strength flowing back into him and he strode over to Nova. He knelt over her motionless body, tears staining sand and glass. She was gone. Just like Karmas and Fabian, she was gone. Life snuffed out like a candle.
And it was his fault. He had landed the fatal blow...
His tears stained her body.
It didn't dissolve...
As the Light of Miracles washed over Nova, the terrible wound in her chest from the chaotic blast healed, all her minor cuts and bruises healing too.
She gasped and opened her eyes.
He let out a gasp of his own as he saw her, living, breathing...
She was alive.
"Gatmuz," she whispered "I... you're..."
"Don't try to speak," he replied "rest for a while." He stood up, looking down at her and smiling.
"Gatmuz," she said quietly "I... heard what you said. Even in the darkness... the cold... the madness... I heard. And I... love you too."
He was struck with joy and wonder even as he fell to his knees, brought low by shock.
"You... love... me?" he said.
"I do," she replied, leaning up and kissing him.
He wrapped her in his arms and they just stayed there, kissing and celebrating even as the last radiance of the Light of Miracles faded...
