He was my downfall six years ago. His actions lead me to a life that tried to ruin me. Even though I almost cracked under the weight of the world I was in, I managed to win a losing battle. I fought for my second chance and I made my way back to him. Because the end game for me wasn't death; it was him. And as long as I had him, I was alive.
Rowan:
I made one wrong move in a world I thought I knew everything about and I lost her. I was stupid and naive to think I was above him, but when he took her, I rose up and took the throne. Now, the empire was mine. All I needed was her. When she came back, I could finally breathe. There was no longer a void in my life. I was whole again. Everything was complete and my empire was solid now that I had my backbone.
Until our world was flipped upside down and the world around us began to crumble from beneath our feet.
