End of All Things (PG)
The end of all things was coming, they could see the chasms in the Earth, the voids that dropped down to the underworld. They had run out of time and options. They'd travelled everywhere looking for answers, spells, scrolls and everything they could think of or find a link to that would help stop it. But they'd exhausted ever available option and avenue until they'd ended up in Aydindril.
The festival below in the city was beautiful. Dancing, drinking and people hugging and being friendly when they wouldn't normally, or neighbours getting to know each other who had never so much as nodded hello in passing. It made Kahlan wish there was something she could do. It made her sad that she'd been unable to protect her people and continue the line of confessors. Instead, the Keeper had won, and she and Richard had given in to their feelings.
He was asleep on the bed behind her, she hadn't been able to go to sleep and had just watched him sleep for a while, thankful that they would never wake up and she'd never have to see him confessed and under a horrible spell that took away everything she loved. She'd gotten up an hour ago, wrapped herself in a gown and stood watching the party. But she knew she couldn't stand there forever, she didn't want to be awake when the end came. So she turned back to the bed and slipped into it and up against Richard and drifted off to sleep. This was the only way they could be together forever.
