Today was a normal day, or as normal as it could be for Telamon. The latter was so lonely these days, he missed his destiny, his love. His reverse aspx. If only he could show his love to her, to be there and bury her in his love, but there's one single thing.
. . . He doesn’t know how to talk to her without getting caught, and frankly.. he’s not sure if she loves him back, but it's okay! He is THE Telamon after all, why wouldn’t reverse love him?
After some much-needed remembering, he found an old dusted book. . . .Aha! He found the right spell! He wasn’t sure if the spell would work, it is old after all.
Anything for his reverse though!
He felt himself floating, being brought to somewhere. This always happened when he teleported around, after a bit; he successfully went to the afterlife, Tempest.
To him, this place looked.. not fit for his standards.
Reverse didn't deserve a place like this, he would bring reverse to a better place than this.. Only if she accepted his offer.
He had to drop by ‘Hell’ first, Ah. This must be the ‘aspx’ he heard. Does he seriously have to talk to this guy? He doesn’t even look interesting.. Better if he kept that in his mind, wouldn’t want to piss off his destiny.
"Ahem, hello Aspx. How is hell going for you?"
Telamon said, he wouldn’t want to be rude. This guy was his chance at knowing where his destiny was! He couldn’t pry that information out of noli. That god was.. smarter than these fools, much to his dismay Telamon kept talking with Aspx, attempting to lower his guard so he could get the information he wanted.
"So, do you know where Reverse is? Telamon wishes to talk to her." He said, trying to seem as polite as possible.
"And what are you going to talk to her about, Telamon? Don't take me for a fool." Aspx said, trying not to show that he was glaring at Telamon.
"Ah, Telamon assures you it's nothing bad! He only wishes to see her, is that so bad? You know him, he wouldn't do anything bad to her.." Telamon said, trying to convince Aspx.
After a bit of pestering, and Telamon internally wishing to gut Aspx.. He finally got the information he wanted!
This was his chance.
Telamon flew up to Tempest, getting ready to land but just as he was about to someone called out to him.
"Telamon! What are you doing here, you fool-"
His love, he finally saw her. Oh how much he missed her..
"He came here just to see you! Do you not wish to see Telamon here?" Telamon said, saying it with flair and dramaticness.
"I do not want to see you, especially not you sneaking here.." Reverse said, irritated.
Telamon decided on sitting on a cloud for now, flexing his wings. His destiny deserved to see them after all.
Reverse Aspx went on rambling, scolding the god. He was utterly foolish! Risking his safety just to accompany herself.
Sure, she didn’t like him but she didn’t want to see him hurt… Before she got thoughts thinking if she loved Telamon or not, she noticed something off.
Something was gazing at them, she’s sure of it. She looked around, but didn’t see anything. Could it be noli? Surely not.. He had other things to do. Before she could warn Telamon, Noli made his presence clear.
"Ah, Telamon! What a surprise having you here talking to my daughter." Noli said bitterly, making it obvious he wasn’t wanted here.
Reverse panicked, why was HE here?! Telamon would get banished from here- she doesn’t want to think about it. She quickly acted, a hesitant hand clutching on Noli’s robe.
"F-Father! He was merely passing by, you shouldn't be so mad-" Reverse said.
"Silence. I didn't say to speak, my dear." Noli said, interrupting her.
"...Hello to you too, Noli. It has been a long time, hasn't it?" Telamon said, trying to play things off.
Noli took a deep breath, he’s not gonna deal with this hypocrite. He adjusted the clouds code, resulting in the physics changing.
"Wait-"
Telamon let out an agonizing scream, one that Reverse would remember forever.
He fell to the void, struggling on the way before realizing he couldn’t fly up in time.
. . .
Reverse’s skirt flowed freely from the gust of wind, her face dropping.
He's gone. He's truly gone.
He’s- what? He wouldn’t be so easily gone.
Guess this is how she always will be, alone. She never had a chance from the start, did she?
