Lost for Love

He watched, helpless, as the door closed behind her.

His face was sore from the beatings and his eyes were still holding some tears. The betrayal had hurt more than the punches.

Three times she came and asked the same thing.

- How do I remove the Eternal Love from the Fairy's heart?

Three times she left with no answer.

The truth? He didn't know either...

The fourth time, and already feeling that her prisoner would not give in anytime soon, she decided to bring the girl with her.

Her fine navy hair was all tangled up. Her smooth skin smeared with dirt from the dungeon slabs. She did not belong there.

The Fairy looked at him smiling but with parting in her eyes.

- Since you're not speaking, let's see if I can get it out anyway... Worst case, I have to find another Fairy.

Giving no time to think about whether she was bluffing or not, she drew a dagger and buried it in the blue haired girl's chest.

- NOOOOO!

His shackles squeaked violently as he tried to free himself; but they did not yield one bit.

The Fairy was bleeding to death as the Inquisitor stirred inside her, singing the song of Eternal Love in the Infinite Tongue.

The tears came back as he watched, powerless, the homicide of such a pure being. He let himself fall and lowered his head, wetting the floor beneath.

The Inquisitor, once his companion, stood up, wiped the dagger and left, for the last time, leaving him kneeled in his misery.

He watched, even more helpless, as the door closed behind her.
