Summary
“Let me go,” Ava whispered, pain obvious in her voice. I shook my head no.
I could not imagine letting her go into an unknown void where I would not be able to follow. However, recognizing her resolve for me to not watch her die, I caressed her face gently and said, “be free”.
“I love you.” Ava’s face was full of sorrow, knowing this could possibly be goodbye.
My mind raced with a dozen thoughts until one stood out among the rest. In an instant my mind was made up.
I turned to Lilith and instructed, “tell Mother Superion what happened here. Tell her I’ll do everything I can to ensure our return.”
“Our?” Lilith began to ask, eyes widening as she realized my intent.
Before another word could be spoken, I pushed myself forward, wrapping my arms as tightly around Ava as I could without pressing too harshly into her divinium shrapnel wounds. Holding her close, I whispered in her ear, “I love you” and let us both be pulled into the energy of the portal together.
I didn’t know what would await us on the other side, but I knew one thing for certain: she wouldn’t be going alone.Series
