“Break, surely you did not….” Pandora whispered in both horror and wonder as she sat up. Her fingers lightly skimmed across the irregularities on the surface of his back. Trying to sooth the angry red skin and hold back the tears welling up in her eyes.
“Pandora,
I am almost there; I can already feel it. Once I can summon it then I can
ascend.” Break turned to face her, clasping her by her shoulders and slightly
shaking it, his voice quivering in excitement, a maniacal gleam in his eyes.
“All of them will be at my feet”
“Not
me for sure” she replied immediately, annoyed at his smug phrasing. Should she
be elated or despair at the significance of what he was saying?
“Of
course not my love, you will be at my side, always” he took her hand and placed
it on his heart. ”Okay”
Well,
you are always grand with your expressions, she thought , looking at him feeling
quite hopeless.
“Break, my dearest, don’t go
and break my heart, okay”
The
day break ascends would be the happiest and saddest day of her life. She could
already foresee it.
