I sat on a log and watched the sunset as Yamil sat beside me. Dragons dotted the horizon and moved looked like flys as the flew to and from. I sat there with a small smile on my face. I looked around as Yamil stood up.

"Please excuse me my heart, i shall be back shortly." HE leaned forward and kissed my forehead, then went off into the forest. I watched as he wove through the trees until i could no longer see him. My smile faded. It had gotten harder and harder to continue smiling.

To continue a sharade. I took a deep breathe and sat on the floor with my back against the log. When i had read that Ximh had left the castle with his brother i had chosen a possobility of having love. If both Ximh AND his brother had gone back together it must mean that they had found their others, and where now becoming gods. Even if i did regain my heart i could never hope to be with a god, me a mortal.

I brought my knees up to my chin. XImh was going to be a god again, that was why i had come here. Yamil's words had sturred those muted feelings inside my being, yet he did not have the same charge as when i had told Ximh i would stay by his side. Had i failed Ximh? was this my punishment for not staying true to my word. My thoughts were stuck on a loop. The whole reason i had followed Yamil, and why i now sat here regretting my dicission.

I felt a porthole open and i stood to face the new threat. Out from the porthole came Nyx, Xemmsur and a new nobody. i looked at them confused... why where they here?

"What's going on? Is there something wrong at the castle?" i asked as i neared them. Before they could say a word Yamil appered from the thicket of trees with two apples. He passed one of the apples to me then turned and faced the others as he took a bite from his.
I faced the girls again and waited for their response.
Nyx's face seemed to tell a story, of which i could not fully read the words. I held her gaze it seemed to be filled with.... regret, sadness, disappointment. i could not tell, i was never one for being able to know anothers feelings.
