Thank goodness we weren't mortally hurt by each other.
Belerick was nearby, so I called him over to carry us to the neutral city of Erudito where they could treat us.
I was so grateful they didn't reject a denizen of the Abyss - if I were at the Moniyan Empire, they would have killed Selena outright.
She had fallen into a deep, responseless sleep at the healing ward, and I was so worried.
I stayed by her side each moment I had. And finally, on the fourth day, she opened her eyes.
The sense of joy that flooded my otherwise numb being was so immense that the people of Erudito claimed that the stars that night were brighter than usual.
Did my joyous energy provide them with extra luminance?
Who knows for sure.. I'm just glad my Selena is back with me.
[you're not alone, you are never alone.]
[I'm by your side, all the time.]
