    Summary

    An alternate ending in the quest "Nightingale's Song"...
    What if the others didn't arrive (in time) and Illuga really ended up fighting the evil eye alone (angst warning?) …

    Life is so cruel. Death is, too.

     

    Illuga lets out a broken breath. His chest is aching, tears dripping down his temples faster, leaving a hot trail on their tracks.

     

    “Kyryll…” 

     

    “Kyryll? Who–Oh! Flins!” 

     

    A sob slips out from him at the name and Paimon's panic strikes.

     

    “I'm… scared...” He's scared. He's scared of dying. He's scared of leaving Flins without saying goodbye. He's scared of not seeing him again. He's so scared. He wants to see him. Please.

     

    “I… want to… see you.”

    Summary

    Xiao knew, every time he decided against his common sense, every time he indulged upon his momentary feelings, that Hu Tao would one day leave, ever so elusive, much like the butterflies that adorn her every step. He would not want to wish immortality on anyone, but especially not her, who understands and accepts death most.

    Xiao did not hold her back. He let her dance among the lilies, splash her feet by the reeds, humming the tune of the flute that had gone for quite some time. He let her waltz in and out of his life unimpeded, without warning, pulling the rug from underneath him every time, catching him by a beautiful surprise that no one other than Hu Tao herself could carry.

    (of the immortal with a lifelong curse, and the ephemeral, ethereal mortal.)
