#*[ DE MARTEL C : VERSE x pre body jump ]

[heartsbreaking-migrated]

she hadn't seen him in a long time. not since her wedding night. she'd thought herself a monster only long enough for her to realize she had been given a gift. the price hadn't been her soul as she'd expected. in fact, the world opened up for her when she wasn't bound by the rules of man. she could go where she pleased and do as she pleased. as long as she wore her daylight ring, there was little that could harm her. no man could touch her and no plague could rot her body. she wrote, she told stories of chivalrous knights who came and saved the maiden from a life of misery, who won her favor in tournaments and went on heroes journeys. she wrote about maidens whose care for her love won out even when faced with a brutal monster. how much truth there was to her stories, only she'd know for sure, but she never would have been able to tell them without him. her gaze lingered on him for a moment. her hands shook the slightest bit, but she steeled her nerves. "i didn't get to thank you that night," cecelia told him as she slid into the seat across from him. "i hope it's not too late."
