Kapitel 623: The End - Part 3

RETH

Reth tore across the grassy dirt so quickly he kicked up dust in his wake. "Elia! ELIA!"

Her head snapped up and her eyes went wide. She looked up at the Creator at her side, and he beamed, nodding at her. Then she was running too, screaming his name and sprinting towards him. Reth ran so quickly the air pulled tears from his eyes, but there were no tears for pain or sorrow, or for everything they'd endured.

Elia's face was alight with love, and when they met, throwing themselves into each other and tumbling to the grass in a tangle of limbs, she was laughing, singing his name.

Reth rolled, pulling her into his chest, then lifted her face so he could see her, touch her, make sure she was real.

"Reth! Reth! Thank the Creator! We're safe! We're safe! And we never have to be apart again!"
