Truly alone

Ryker

Elix seems to have failed me.

It is almost like I keep waiting for him to bring what I asked for with the expectation that I will find her. I have a lot of years to myself before she could even be reincarnated. Another ten years passed me by and my misery is spent alone. I keep waiting and hoping, dreaming and longing for the beautiful woman that came into my dark life.

"Harley,'' I whisper her name in the dark night.

I never want her presence to leave this world. I want her to come back to me, I want to take her in my arms again. My hopes were shattered the night that she died. My life flashed before my eyes and she took it from me.

Now I have no purpose.

Before Harley, I knew who I was—granted, I didn't care about the life I lived. It was just a straight path, one that never changed. Keeper of death, the souls I took. The people I watched die. Now, I can see the misery in that. The pain that I witnessed.

Do I even want to go back to that life?
