My eyes opened up again looking at my mothers necklace in her hand, I reached up and closed her hand around it. "Taken from the only women I thought may have loved me, to the only women I ever wish to love. That you have already given me so much more than I could ever wish for. Love, happiness, content and future worth fighting for. Those are more precious to me than any worldly possession." I said reciting my words from what seemed a lifetime ago. "I stand by those words.... They are also the reason I could not come back in all those years. I had failed you and been unworthy of such love, but I still had something I could do, I could still fight for you. But fighting with such pain in my heart was impossible, so I decided I would watch over you from afar, keep the darkness of the world at bay while you and our child lived happily." I looked up into her eyes. "The love my have been forgotten or forced before, but it never left me. It was always there, giving reason for my heart to beat on, and if my heart has been darkened by my past then..." A light crept up between us, the forgotten marks on my body sending a shimmer up through my skin until they reached my neck and began retracing a faded a previously invisible mark. In a few short seconds Aiyanas Wrath was once again whole upon my neck, shining brighter than ever before. "Perhaps this will prove that it exists stronger than ever." The light dimmed slightly but still laid a perfect glow on her features. "I am yours, for as long as you will have me." I leaned in and rested my forehead against hers, my voice lowering to barely above a whisper. "And no matter your choice, I will always fight for you and our son."
