Aznr ran down the पहाड़ी, हिल to the edge of the cliff. fallen trees scattered the ground and there was no sign of life. Aznr's hair blew back in the wind and memories of the past filled his head...

*Flashback*

Aznr heard a scream that rang through the forest.
Airellion! he thought, immediately recognizing his voice.
'Aznr! LightWater!' he heard the scream again.
This time he ran through the forest towards him. Aznr burst into the clearing and saw Airellion. He had an ऐरो in his throat and one in his arm. He was surrounded द्वारा an army of goblins, all heavily armed.
'Airellion!' called Aznr.
Aznr raised his sword and stabbed a goblin in the back. he ran to Airellion and stood protectively in front of his friend.
'I didn't think आप would come,' कहा Airellion.
'Of course I came,' replied Aznr. 'When आप and LightWater were born I swore to protect you, even if it cost me my life.'

Aznr stared up at the sky and a tear rolled down his cheek. He thought of Airune, how childish he used to be, and how He used to need someone to take care of him. He thought of Airellion and LightWater and how they had never abandoned him. Last of all he thought of his parents. he remembered his father would always get mad at him and his mother, and how his father would hurt him. He remembered his mother telling him to leave the house and trying so hard to protect Aznr from his father.
Aznr stepped closer to the edge. If only he could get the courage to jump it would all be over. He could see his mother in Senfinelin Forest, yet he would also be leaving Airune behind.
'Aznr,' he heard a voice behind him.
Aznr spun around. Airune stood there, his deep, black eyes shimmered in the moonlight.
'Aznr, selinnin ina isen,' he spoke in the ancient elvish language, one that few know. 'Aznr, I still need you.'
'No,' कहा Aznr, 'you don't need me. आप can take care of yourself now. I want to see my mother.'
'I want to see my family. They're all dead and I'm not going to kill myself. Aznr, I still प्यार you. Please don't go.'
'Airune, आप need to let me go,' Aznr told him. 'You don't want me to be sad.'
Aznr stepped backwards off the cliff. he heard a cry from Airune and he realized Airune would not live on after this and, just before he hit the ground, he regretted jumping.
Airune felt a strong pain, deep inside of him. He fell back, crying out in pain. Aznr's ring shattered and Airune knew he was dead. Then he felt an odd pain inside of him and his vision blurred. He was dying, for his life force had been destroyed.

Brillindier was in an uproar ever since Airune's death. Rumors spread of why he had disappeared, some even कहा that he had left Brillindier.
'He was never the best king,' कहा an ilina*. 'He was insane.'
The ilina felt a hand on his shoulder. He looked up and saw a young erwiya** staring down at him.
'I think he was a wonderful king,' she said. 'He had a cute accent. I wish he hadn't left.'
'He didn't leave,' कहा her friend. 'He died.'
'Kirinenna,' कहा the erwiya, 'LightWater is looking at us.'
'Just ignore him, Firahan,' कहा Kirinenna, 'he won't bother us. He has a boyfriend.'
'Where'd आप hear that?' asked Firahan.
Kirinenna nodded her head towards LightWater. He was talking to a young half-elf and hugging him. The half-elf kissed him and LightWater blushed. The
erwiyas could hardly hear what they were saying, yet they could hear some of it.
'Jasper,' कहा LightWater, 'Taliliah promised to return soon. I'm sure he'll be here द्वारा nightfall.'
'You कहा that yesterday,' कहा Jasper. 'He should be घर द्वारा now. I fear the worst.'
