In my hands scattered with dust of her remains I clench it to my hands really hard, my face crumpled with grief. Gathering my resolve I used my shadow magic to gather her remains and put it in the jar to contain it. I clutch to the jar to my chest fearing it will also vanish from my sight, my heartaching for her loss. Only regrets and guilt was left within me the silly thing is the memories I tried ti forget keeps playing to my mind.
