Come Love A Stranger

A young man materialized in the forest out of thin air, his long slivery white hair flew around his face gently with the breeze. He stopped and heaved a deep sigh, and then he closed his eyes, /"you went to her,/" he whispered.

/"Aye,/" a voice answered and in the next second, a man with long black hair appeared before him, /"I had to, you were losing your way./"

/"Did you arrange the marriage with the king?/" he asked, his voice lower than necessary but the man opposite him could hear him quite loudly.

/"Again, I had to. You seem to be forgetting our agreement, Alador, do you want history repeating itself before you realize that?/"

Alador closed his eyes and sighed, /"I cannot help myself, I am drawn to her, I cannot stop. Ever since she was born, I have been trying to stay away. You know I have, Ilayas./"
