Status Updates From These Immortal Truths (Peac...

“Magic comes as a gift to some and poison to others. It has the power to darken hearts — make them greedy, make them cruel. And yet, in the same breath, it can help one reach their fullest potential.”

Khiran’s “fantastic” story about the ancient, magical tree who’s roots held the continents, the world together…the tree someone climbed for the first time after deciding what was offered at its base was not enough and discovered that its magic grew as he climbed higher…he found a fruit and ate it…he and the world changed forever.

Ask him if you’re both reborn from fruit gifted by the same tree.

“Did it hurt?”

“The most worthwhile things usually do, I think you’ll find that I would suffer it ten times over if it meant the same result.”

“Is that how you always knew where to find me?”

“I need only to look for the missing part of myself.”

And I am a puddle on the floor 🫠🥹🥰

Oh that ring **sigh** and his star shaped scar…his only scar.

“I needed something to connect us. To know when you had need of me…it was born of me and me alone and that’s what mattered not ensured that you would remain safe…this hides you from their sight.”

“Stay. Don’t go.”

“Tonight.” A promise and a warning. Tonight, because always isn’t an option.

Khiran’s purpose/existence among the Gods is going to have a reveal and I know it’s going to break me.

These two have had a centuries long slow burn that is so heartbreaking and wholesome…ugh, this is going to destroy me.

“Wanted you for so long…I can’t remember what it feels like without you under my skin…how will I ever go on without wanting more of you?”

“Loving him came to her the way snow melts into creeks, then rivers, then oceans. Time has engraved him into her heart the way the rivers have carved canyons and glaciers have cut fjords.”

“Anna, you will be the death of me.”

“You can’t die.”

“Yet you’ll have me begging for it. What do the French call it again?”

“La petite mort.” (The little death)

“He is wildfire, burning away the oxygen faster than she can take a breath.”

“Such a troublesome creature…this wasn’t meant to happen — you weren’t meant to possess me so completely. You haunt me, Anna.”

“Has the world not taught you yet? We don’t get to keep the things we want.”

FINALLY.

“There are galaxies painted across your skin, nebulas and universes mapped out like artwork, designed solely for one to get lost in…Anna…you are exquisite.”

“You love me.”

“My, the centuries have made you bold.”

HE MADE HER SOUUUPPPP!!!

Time is passing so fast???

“Nothing is immune to change, Anna. Not the mountains or the oceans. There is nothing more inevitable; nothing else that unites us so indiscriminately.”

“Nightmares aren’t without end. At some point, you wake up.”

“I’d like to wake up now.”
