Continuing on in an endless rift, a heart eternally in bondage. Reality slowly setting into place, that dream fading away. An actuality it is, despite it all, that will to resist. Even if the chances are minuscule at best, that resolve in holding on, trying to bring that hope to the surface. An aim most worth pursuing, souls yearning to soar. Gentle the breeze is, that wind flowing through. Dreadful it is, hitting against the deity. Times of joy slipping away, one remaining in place, another patiently waiting. Resting his eyes upon the ground, making his way onward. Conflict weighing on his mind, that one trying to come to terms with it all. A stressful sigh escaping his lips, Valor gazing up into the vast blue sky. Partnership over the years, through good times and bad times. Pleasureful it has been, all of it approaching an end.
In those earlier times, where the wind has been so free. Two of differing worlds coming together, contrasting they are, but that forming a bond. Time pressing onward, that deity feeling further away from his old friend. Doubt lingering in the depths of his mind, that god wishing to keep things as they are. Even if it is not entirely possible, a solution is better than none. No matter so, that one knowing her much too well. That young woman continuously moving forward, even if it is sorrowful. Adapting never of easiness, those wishing to turn back the clock. Pleasureful it will be, but an impossibility. Those of the heavens, and that of the earth drifting apart, that time approaching with each passing day.
At that moment, over the numerous trees. Those animals roaming around, the wind of gentleness. Much further inside of the world of Alfheim, passing the valleys, a titan standing in front of a pathway. That entrance leading to a mountain, the surrounding area obstructing. A massive person, skin blazing hot, fire raging from his aura. Surtr, god of fire, his skin revealing the relentless flames burning from his body. Glancing to his left, many loyal followers at his side. Gazing to his right, a similar sight. Resting his vision upon his right hand, fire intensely generating from inside of his palm. That deity turning his attention ahead, walking forward.
"Follow." He calmly speaks.
A god amongst gods himself, fire scorching the land at his feet. Animals fleeing, his eyes of steadiness. Those loyal servants trailing along, their eyes having no resistance. Resolve clear in mind, determination from their vision. Those following the titan wherever he is leading them, many yearning for his ideal. Through the vast lands, in that forest going on and on. A lake shimmering underneath the light of the sun, a grassy field stretching on. Smaller animals at ease, some larger ones like deers gathering around. Valor laying down in that field, his eyes distant upon the sky above. Emotions deep inside, that deity thinking on the past, those many memories.

Slightly frowning in sorrow, looking away. The Trial of Acceptance, one embracing what is to come, or what has been of occurrence. A soul yearning to soar, a heart wishing for those days to continue on. Dreadful it is, yet this is the reality going forward. Days so long ago, a meeting between two. One moving forward, awaiting certain words. Another remaining inside of their shell, following along. One pushing the limit, searching for a solution. A deity playing out many scenarios inside of his mind, only one having a desirable solution. No matter so, that one unable in moving forward. Closing his eyes, a stressful sigh escaping him.
"Am I really to accept this...?" he distantly thinks.
Pleasureful those times of the past are, that bliss slowly slipping away. His hands trying to hold on, even so, that one well in awareness on what may eventually happen. A bond between two, close they are. Still, that time in going their own way setting in. Agonizing this is, but a solution existing. Courage of necessity, those words ringing through him. Opening his eyes, extending a hand to the sky. That sunlight passing through the openings of his fingers. Heaven and earth drifting apart, a deity wishing for a dream to continue on, even if it is for a bit longer.
"Not yet...there is still a way, perhaps this is selfish of me. Even if we must part, I do not want it to end like this..." He uneasily speaks.
A heart yearning to soar with another, even so, that one willing to let go. Even if it is painful upon him, his bond with his old friend of much more importance. Selfish it is, continuously searching for a way. No matter so, one wishing for their journey to end on a note of betterment. Dreadfulness of it, agony gripping at his core. Days so long ago flowing through, his resolve seeking out a solution. Lowering his hand to the ground, propping his arms behind his head. Those eyes of azure resting above, witnessing clouds slowly moving along.
In those days...I knew what I had to do, yet I could not find that courage. Day into day out, I felt every part of myself tearing away bit by bit. This possibly being her desire, that I can never deny her. All I wanted at that point was for things to be good between us, but still...since that night, I forever wondered if things could have gone differently...
