"Love’s Whisper, Fate’s Roar"
Note: You won’t believe what is their story, and how it will go!
Albert desired justice for the death of his mother and the witch. After her premature death, the flames of justice continued burning stronger and steadier. He pressed on with his dark chasings, determined that he must face the men who caused him so much pain and chaos in his now-broken life.
However, Jennifer carried her own burdens with her reasons for entering this mysterious dimension being private. Their first encounter in the mysterious woods would not only unfold an enigma surrounding her past and her presence in Albert’s life, but it also represented an assurance of a promise greater than the foreboding woods. She remained silent with him as he sought revenge and supported him behind the scenes.
During this time in their joint journey, there emerged a silent bond between the both of them. The forest seemed to have been complicit with the secrecy and shadows of bringing the two of them together. A strand of subtle comprehension and compassion began interspersing in their lives though even their hearts were yet unaccustomed. As they progressed step by step through the dark forest towards their desired location and themselves. Finally, they settled down in the depth of dark forest.
With every passing hour, there were more days, weeks, and months. The light of love sprouted between them amidst their pursuits of darkness.
Albert understood that the reprieve was only temporary as they had restarted their lives. He realized that he had to become even better at the dark arts. This was when he would teach Jennifer the ordinary dark spells that he had gotten from all witches but it would be in vain since she wasn’t strong enough and was no wizard herself. As an ordinary witch seeking answers about the arcane secrets, she resembles Young Albert. They are 18
The Final Confrontation: Wizard Of Shadows placed together on the edge, of destiny, their bond growing stronger with each passing day.
During the time Albert told Jennifer what had happened in his life, how Valkon killed his parents, How society and his relatives treated him, How the witch helped him in learning spells, and how the witch gave her life to save him, everything that happened. That time Jennifer also told Albert, that his family was also murdered by Valkon.
It was a time of relative peace and love that they cherished in the heart of the Dark Forest.
One day Albert asked Jennifer “How does it feel when you are in love with someone, you can’t have?”
Jennifer replied –
“You will remember my words one day….”
“It feels like jumping off a cliff willingly
with a rope tied to your waste.
Falling too fast but you know
you won’t hit the land.
The fall thrills the heart
and numbs you to nothingness.
Not wanting to climb back up,
and unable to make it to the valley.
I’d call that, helplessly in love.”
One day you will seek me, but I will be like a butterfly who will fly away.
After this there was just silence, Albert hugged her and promised her not to leave him, but some destinies are not meant to be forever.
