Ysnay and I had sex for eight hours straight. We tried all the positions we knew as we tirelessly drowned in each other's bodies.
Unfortunately, the night was only so long. Eventually, the morning arrived, and thus, my promise to Ysnay was done.
As both of us lay on the bed, Ysnay smiled mischievously and looked at me.
"Don't you think we are very compatible in bed, Willian?"
I rolled my eyes. Woman, both of us are immortals with perfect control over our bodies. We can be as compatible as we want.
"I have done what I promised," I said with a sight. "It's time to leave."
Ysnay's expression stiffened. She then put on a sad smile and sighed.
"Right, all of this was just a trade."
"Yes, it was just a trade."
"… You are right, how can I have forgotten…?"
She then looked at the ceiling with a dazed face.
"Hey Willian, what do you think my chances are?"
"Not even one percent."
"Really? Do you hate me so much?"
"… I would not call it hatred, Ysnay. It's just that I don't need to give my feelings to someone that did not value them once."
"Yeah, I was an idiot back then." Ysnay chuckled bitterly. "Unfortunately, even I can't change that past."
That is true. No matter how great Ysnay's control over fate is, she is unable to affect directly someone as strong as me.
She needs to be stronger than me to achieve that, and unfortunately for her, she is not even close to achieving that.
"I guess some things are just irreparable, huh?"
"Do you want to hear my honest opinion, Ysnay? I would prefer it if you leave. To be honest, seeing you reminds me of things that I don't want to remember."
"Willian…"
"Didn't you say that you love me? Then just leave. I'm sure I'll be happy like that."
Ysnay's eyes shook. She fell in a daze before chuckling bitterly and nodded.
"You are right. You have already achieved your dream. The current you don't need me. Quite the opposite, I'm a bother."
I could see Ysnay's smiling wryly when she said these words. She seemed sad to know that she was not necessary for the life of the person she loved the most.
However, her expression soon changed to one of complete determination.
"However… I don't want to give up so easily, Willian. I still want to obtain happiness. And to achieve that, I don't mind doing anything, even if you dislike my methods."
I said nothing. In fact, I already expected this.
We, Immortals, tend to be very stubborn. We put our opinions over everything and don't care even if our decisions hurt others.
Some immortals don't mind destroying entire worlds just to achieve a goal.
Immortals are like that. And Ysnay and I are like that as well.
Thus, since the moment our opinions clashed, we were destined to clash with each other.
Even so-
"I don't plan to allow it, Ysnay, you know it."
"I know." Ynsay nodded. She then stood up from the bed and waved her hands. Immediately, her usual robe was once more on her body, and her expression turned cold and indifferent.
"I'm leaving, Willian. Next time we see each other, it will be as enemies."
"So it came to this in the end, huh."
"Yes… Willian, this is my last try. No matter the result, this will be the last time that I'll try to get your love back. If I succeed, then I don't mind living for a few thousands of years more beside you, and if I fail, then I don't plan to continue living."
My expression turned slightly complicated. However, I knew that Ysnay had made a decision.
"I understand. Don't worry, I'll do everything in my might to stop you."
"I would prefer if you go easy on me, though." She chuckled softly and shook her head. Then, she turned around to leave the room.
"Until we see each other again, my love. I hope our story has a happy ending."
Once she said it, she disappeared from the room.
I looked to the place where she was just now and let out a deep sight.
"Until we see each other again, my friend."
Then, I stood up from the bed as well and put on my clothes.
Right now, my expression was completely serious. My senses had expended as much as possible, covering the entire world.
Ysnay's meaning was clear.
She had declared war.
From this moment onwards, I had to be ready for our battle. No, our battle had started already. From the moment she left, a psychological battle that put our intellect to test began.
Ysnay had shown her determination. She was ready to see this to the end.
And I was the same. I was ready to stop her.
We had known each other for tens of thousands of years. Our ill-fated relationship has continued since the day she betrayed me.
Now, it was finally time to put an end to it.
