Chapter 487 - THE IMMORTAL SWORD HUT (1) (2/2)

”Hey, don't do that'” she said as she blushes on her cheeks. Around them is ice walls and energy storms that forces them to be together in a tight space.

”I am hugging you so you won't get frozen to death” He said to her as he hugged her tighter. She come closer to him like she is reluctant.

But he knows she is not and that knowledge made him unconsciously smirk.

”the famous Lord Shadow, caring about people” she said faintly, a smile on her face

”Why? Is that so hard to believe?” She smiles at him, and shakes her head

”Just surprising'

Then as he tries to see that smile in his memories, another memory come to him.

He remembers how he hold her hand tight, telling her if to hold his hand if she needs somebody, and she can cry on his shoulder if she wanted to cry.

And he remembers how cheated he feel when he found out she was Katarina the Ice Princess.

He remembers how he promise her to see cheery blossoms and he remember how he bare his heart to her and how she bares her heart to him.

He remembers when she leaned her head on his shoulders and how beautiful she looked when she is asleep.

They both hold hand together as they look at the ceiling of ice above them and wonder about many things.

He did not shed tear like he used to, but there is a pain in his heart he could not describe or express when he saw all of this scene of the past

It was like his heart is being crushed and shredded apart

And he sighed as he appeared back on his hut.

The snow outside keep falling and he smiles. They were painful memories, but they were also beautiful memories.

It would not be fair to only remember her as a pain in his heart. She was the source of the pain in his heart, but she was also the cause of his joy.

She understood him the way he understood her. The way she smiles at him and the way he smiles when he is with her…. all of that is precious memories that he did not want to forget

He is used to being alone.

Yet, after the Fall, he had a family of his own. A real family. Then they hold their hand out and that open a new world for the lonely and dark Azief.

They fill the emptiness in Azief heart

He fell in love and he felt what is heartbreak and felt all of this emotion. The snow falls and in each snow he could see her.

When he is with Katarina, everything makes sense. When he is holding her hand, everything felt right.

Azief have lived his life being unwanted, but with her, he felt that she wanted him.

And he wanted her. He knows that is for sure. The feeling he felt for her could never truly be put into words because he doesn't know how to describe it.

There was just that something about her and there is something about the way he is when he is with her.

Today, he holds that pain close to his heart. He doesn't know how to make it so no one felt no pain.

It was like he is still in a daze and he could no longer see any tomorrow. Winter has come and snow has fallen but he could not forget her.

Sometimes sweetly, sometime achingly, yet all those things have become his memories that he didn't want to forget.

His memories about her linger in his mind. He wanted a goodbye filled with smiles. But, all it left him and her is hurt.

Nonetheless, Azief knows that his love was real and hers too. And it was a wonderful love. Because even now, his love for her had not changed.

If there is a test for love, then Azief think he had passed it. If love is just a hormone induced, then he doesn't want that to ever disappears.

Even when it brought him pain. Even when it gives him scars. Because that would be better than to have no such feeling.

It is better than to feel nothing.

'Haa' he sighed

'I wanted a perfect goodbye. I wanted to have that. Even though, I know such a farewell doesn't exist'

He sighed again and close his eyes. A few moments passed as the wind blows around him. He saw that memory again and this time instead of feeling that sadness in his heart, he smiles

'We will meet again somewhere in this long journey' He said it to himself. It might be just a wish or it might be promise.

Then he opens his eyes again. And the snow he saw is just snow. He did not forget her. Because now she is no longer in his memories. She is also in his heart.
