Missed me?

Marcus found a quiet place by the river where he could rest. He was more than happy to be alone with his thoughts. It provided the chance to arrange the things in his mind and get his house in order.

He laid down on the ground and faced the sky. The clear blue sky gave him a sense of home. The times that he used to spend under the trees with Morpheus enjoying the serenity of nature.

Times had changed, the tides of fate had played a cruel game on him and brought him there alone. Without his king by his side to hold his hand.

He recalled all the times that he had found comfort under the skies with his life by his side. He closed his eyes the past being too much to bear.

"Why did you leave me?" He asked softly. His heart felt so lonely without his soulmate there to hold his hand through all the ups and downs of life.

"I am here," he heard. The prince laid beside him and gently held Marcus's hand. "I am always here," he added.
