The Life He Chose

This entire time, the apparition of Zedya floating next to him had felt so vague and distant, it was hard to feel drawn to the visions of their future that she presented. He felt like he was watching a play on a stage, but the people he watched were only actors, and toward the end of the vision of the battle she presented, they had become little more than puppets. It wasn't really him, and it wasn't her either. 

Now that Zedya had pushed even further, however, fully immersing herself in this space between life and darkness, he finally glimpsed the woman he'd given his heart to. The woman that he would give anything for and that he wanted to offer a lifetime of companionship to.
