A raised From Ashes Dust

"I’ve been watching you from afar," he whispered, with voice trembling with longing. "I gave up my kingdom, left behind the wars and glorious victories, all for a single chance to get closer to you. I wanted—no, needed—you to be mine and mine alone." His lips quivered, overwhelmed by the happiness flooding his chest. It was her—Elon—the girl who had stolen his heart and consumed his every thought. But before he could say more, she grabbed him by the collar, pulling him toward her with unexpected force. "No, my darling," he murmured, "let me speak today." He leaned into her left ear. She could feel the heat of his breath trail down her neck, while his fingertips glided along the curve of her waist, pulling her gently into his embrace. His heart—like a war drum—pounded, never once slowing down. "Elon," he breathed, her name sound sweet to him, "will you marry me?" She sighed, closing her eyes before uttering a word. Their breaths intertwined, a shared rhythm, of what he was graved to, as he sealed the moment with a kiss against her delicate lips. "Too late, my love," He whispered, his voice like a spell," you’re already cursed now. You’ll stay by my side now—forever mine, and mine alone." --- Elon father—the once-great ruler of the Pearl Kingdom—had fallen into ruin.
