It felt like a dream. At least it would have been had he not known he’d joined the spirits above. It was nothing like what he thought it would be, but it was at the same time. Here she was standing in the very valley that had made him who he was. Perhaps it appeared differently to her. After all she had been gone for some time, revenge had been sought and many things he couldn’t describe had happened to him. Eraithus had felt shame at first, he felt like he had failed her. He hadn’t been there to protect her.

Yet even with this knowledge and the spiraling emotions within him, he didn’t change. Eraithus ears pricked forward and the first thing he could say without giving it much thought was. "You’re as beautiful as the day I met you."…. The tone surprised him and in a way he was relieved. Collecting himself he embarrassingly fiddled with the fur on his chest. Hoping that he hadn’t crossed a line.

"My time ran out… I passed away with Enki by my side." it was the easiest way for him to come to terms with he’d gotten old and died. That should be an accomplishment in some way or another. Eraithus shook his head giving a soft sigh. "I’m sorry for everything…." he didn’t know what exactly it was he was apologizing for. That no matter what.. he would always love her even if she were to reject him a thousand times over. What a fool he was.
