Roth still clings to Fila as the kiss from her brought him to his knees. It made him very vulnerable and made him feel ways he hasn't felt before. The fact that he knows that everyone is all NPC's to him, it still all feels very real to him. The fact that he fell for her proves the level of detail and emotions these characters have. And yet... he still sees them as real people still. As he holds onto Fila, he raises his head and tries to talk wiping the tears away from his face with his sleeve.
"Wh- what about the other two... will... will I be able... to see them too...?"
Fila smiled and giggled as she squished both his cheeks together,
"They wanted to see you too, but I wanted to have you all to myself for right now. I didn't want to waste this chance with the little time we have left. I'm sorry for being so selfish."
Roth smiled with a tear in his eye as he hugs her tightly again,
"I understand, I don't want this moment to end at all. I want to stay like this for a bit..."
"I do as well, my sweet sweet Roth."
As Fila said, gentle brushing through Roth's hair as he felt comfortable in her caring arms again. As this was going on, small quiet sniffles can be heard from the goddess as she tries to hold in her tears. Her blindfold was slowly starting to soak as her tears were starting to bleed through.
"Oh my, how beautiful. How beautiful to see two souls this bounded in love together. That makes this even harder than it needs to be."
Roth looked up slowly and looked directly at the goddess.
"What- what do you mean by that?"
"My child It is almost time for you to depart from this realm. I am sorry, I wish you could have more time with her. But your astral form is nearing its limit. You'll be awake soon."
Roth shook his head in frustration and gentle places his forehead against Fila's. Fila smiled as a tear fell down across her cheek as she gentle held Roth's face with just one hand.
"No...no! Please... just a little bit longer... that's all I ask... please..."
The tall goddess slowly knelt beside him as she gently places her hand on his back. Her hand was extremely warm yet soothing at the same time. As if her warmth could cure any sickness with just her touch. Roth kept shaking his head refusing to let her go again, but he understood what he needed to do. His tears fell down once more before standing up and facing the goddess. When a loud voice came from behind pleading for her to stop as Fila stood her ground too.
"Wait! Please goddess, before he goes... I just have one request please."
The goddess looked at Fila with a deep wound in her heart but allows her to speak none the less.
"Speak my child, what is your request?"
She took a deep breath and looked at the goddess with a determined look.
"With your permission, goddess, make me a guardian angel for Roth. I beg you."
Fila bows and stuns Roth what she said out loud. The goddess doesn't react, only giving a blank stare. She then slowly walks up to Fila and gives a single curious question.
"Why?"
"If his time is not up yet, and it will be a long time before we can even reunite. I want to keep watching over him and protect him anyway I can. It may seem silly and some may say our time was short together. But my feelings for him, these feelings are real. My heart aches when I see him in pain. I know he has people that he can rely on now, but I want to be by his side too. I want to ward off the evil he has to face. I want to protect him with all my heart goddess! Please! Won't you accept it!"
If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
She bows even lower begging the goddess as tears run down Filas face. The goddess slowly smiles and lifts Fila's head up.
"Is that truly what you desire my child?"
"Yes lady Theanita, I beg of you... please..."
"Hmph, very well my child. I, lady Theanita, bestow my power and authority in the care of this mortal unto you. May your presence and guidance ward off evil and sinister souls that will harm this blessed mortal. May your righteous presence fill this mortal's heart with your unconditional love. May you always guide him into the right path and steer him away from darkness. May your light shine bright in his darkest hour and in his time of need. Protect him and the purity of his soul. Guardian Fila, protect Roth Malvikun with your ray of light and presence."
Fila swells up with tears as she kneels down and prays to her, thanking her for her permission to continue watching over Roth. She turns to Roth and hovers her hand in front of his face. Her fingertips just barely touching his forehead. He can feel her extreme warmth even when this close.
"Sir Roth Malvikun, after witnessing how devoted she is for you even after a short time of just meeting each other in the mortal world. And your deeds of saving others and risking your life for the greater good, you have my blessing. May my blessing help you in your fight against evil. May my blessing keep you safe. I pray that you would not veer off the path of good. I do hope we can meet again someday, my child. Please be safe, and rely on the ones close to you. Don't be afraid to ask for help my child."
Roth is too stunned to speak but the only thing that came to mind in videogame scenes like this was to accept her gift with the upmost respect. He kneels on one knee and lowers his head still wiping the tears away as he tries to speak in a clear voice.
"Th-thank you goddess Theanita. You have my gratitude, thank you for allowing her to watch over me and your blessing as well. I-I... I don't know if-"
The goddess places a finger on his lips as she gentle shushes him softly.
"You don't need to say or give thanks my child, you have earned it, lady Fila."
She gives Fila the floor as she goes and hugs Roth one last time.
"Goodbye my love. Do take better care of yourself this time, okay? Stay strong for my okay my love?"
"I will, of course I will. I... I love you Fila. Now and always."
She smiles through her tears as she gave him one final kiss as she backs away slowly. Roth looked at the two angelic women standing before him as they both waved at him goodbye. His body felt weird and the light surrounding them began to shine brighter growing in intensity with each passing second. The two women now became silhouettes as the bright light engulfed the two. Roth raised his hands up as the light was too intense. He closed his eyes tightly trying not to get blinded by the light. The light didn't seem to disappear as he kept his eyes closed tightly still. He slowly opened his eyes as his vision was still blurry. But it wasn't the light from the plane of existence he was on, it was a ray of light shining through a window as its beam of light was directly shining at his eyes. He looked around to see he was in a very small room with books and other odd trinkets.
He touched his cheek and felt dry tears smearing down his face. He looked over to the window again and saw Amaya standing at attention with her arms resting behind her back. She was looking out the window with a blank expression. Roth tried to get up but was extremely weak. The shuffling of the bed alerted Amaya as she quickly spun around to see Roth finally awake.
"Master! Lady Mina, the young master is awake! Wake up!"
Mina popped up from the floor as she was sitting at the end of the bed and quickly came rushing to his side. She looked at him as she began to bawl her eyes out in relief that he was okay.
"BWHAA, BIG BROTHER YOU MEANIE! DON'T SCARE US LIKE THAT! WHY DO YOU ALWAYS DO THIS TO YOURSELF! I THOUGHT YOU ACTUALY DID DIE THIS TIME!"
She kept punching Roth in the chest though her punches were really weak and were out of love for him.
"It's true young master, you were on the verge of death and I did everything in my power to save you and even... restore your limb. I did my best as I can to repair it as did lady Mina a well."
He slowly looked down to see his arm was intact once again but had a giant massive scar going all around the wound. He slowly felt the rough line of skin as a single tear slides down his face. Amaya looks at him with worry as Mina continues to bawl her eyes out at Roth. Suddenly, two notifications popped up in his view as he read what the titles were. He couldn't help but to let tears stream down as he read the titles slowly. Amaya sees his saddened stare and feels the weight of his pain.
