The long road

Sirius and Deathbelle seemed to constantly circle around each other. Repelled by logic, attracted by emotion. Consumed by the fires of pain and longing. At Io’s words, he startled in surprise. He had not considered it, and with that realisation brought shame. Zee. Sweet Zee, was not fighting Death’s kiss a betrayal? Allowing himself to feel this attraction? He loved his small golden Queen. He had chosen her, she had carried his children. Ruled at his side. His head lowered in shame. He should not have allowed himself to get carried away by his emotions.

“Yes.” he said softly. No secrets between them, he would tell Zee what had transpired here. He would have to hope that she forgave him.
