"Forget this place and the life you lived before." Taranis glanced back at where the passageway was situated. "Wherever you end up, live your life to the fullest."
With those words, he was going to take a step forward when he heard her voice.
"Taranis?"
His entire body froze in place as he muttered, "Please let that be inside my head." He took another step forward and he heard it again...that voice he was sure he would never hear again in this lifetime.
"Taranis, it's too dark, I can't see anything."
"You've got to be kidding me." With a roll of his eyes, he turned to face her and watched her swing her arms haphazardly in front of her as she took cautious steps forward.
Taranis brought his open palms together and from them sprouted a flower similar to the ones that led to the passageway. "Your heart must truly hate you if this hell is where you truly desire to be."
"I told you I didn't want to leave." She gave him a toothy smile, "Fate brought me back here."
