Varan wandered through the plains, his mind and soul broken, the pain in his heart was unbearable and the grief in his soul was crushing, his armour covered in blood and the greatsword he dragged behind coated in blood, mud and snow. His deep blue eyes were dull and lifeless as they stared at the path ahead.
Varan's steps were slow, heavy, and without purpose, his once tall and wide frame had crumbled as he shoulders slouched and his back bent forward, he was a shell of his former self, a shell of the man that would walk through cities with his back straight as he towered over everyone.
"My sweet child." Varan heard Kyne's beautiful voice call out, but he ignored her, "My child." Kyne had called him again, Varan stopped walking and turned his head to his left, where he saw Kyne standing with her right hand reached out, "Come my child, it is time for you to return." Kyne had said, and he knew what she meant.
"No." Varan said, his once deep voice was now shallow, barely a whisper as it was muffled by his helmet, Kyne lowered her hand with a smile, "Very well." Her voice was filled with love and relief, it was as if she did not want Varan to give up and was glad he hadn't.

Elin was sitting on her bed, in her hands was a book, the book she often read to her brothers when they were young. Her eyes were filled with tears as she gently caressed the cover, fond memories filling her mind, she had long since accepted her deaths, she had already moved on, but that did not mean she didn't miss them.
A gentle breeze blew past her, causing her to look up from the book as gaze upon a beautiful woman, "Hello my child." The woman said as she smiled at Elin, "M-mother Kyne?" Elin asked as she stood up from her bed, "Yes my child." Kyne said as she stepped towards Elin and placed a soft and gentle hand on Elin's cheek.
"Why are you here?" Elin asked, leaning into Kyne's soft hand, "I need to come with me." Kyne said as she removed her hand, "Where to?" Elin asked as she set down the book in her hands softly onto her bed, "To someone whom you know and will come to love." Kyne said as she smiled once more, Elin blushed as she lowered her head.

Varan stood still underneath a large tree, the rain had stopped but not before cleaning his armour of the blood that had clung to it. Water drops fell from the tree leaves and onto Varan as he stood there. He lifted his hand and stared at it, his eyes clearing, the pain in his heart subsiding and the grief in soul healing ever so slightly.
"Varan?" Heard a familiar voice call his name, he lifted his gaze from his hand and there stood Elin with Kyne next to her, Elin expression was one of shock while Kyne had a loving smile on her face, "Are you sure?" Varan heard Elin ask the Goddess next to her, Kyne just nodded her head.
"Miss Elin? What are you doing here?" Varan, his deep voice was muffled but Elin still heard clear as day, "Mother Kyne brought me here." Elin said sheepishly with a small but noticeable blush gracing her cheeks. Kyne just continued to smile, "I will leave you two alone." Kyne said as she started fading away.
"Why did Kyne bring you here?" Varan asked Elin, who was now a blushing mess, "W-well..." Elin trailed off, "She said she would b-bring me to the one I would call my l-lover." She said as she buried her head in her hands, "I see." Varan said, he had not oved from his place under the tree.
Elin removed her hands and looked at Varan, her blush still present, "M-may I see your face?" She asked as she walked towards Varan, only stopping when she too stood underneath the tree.
Varan didn't say anything, he just placed his hands on his helmet and removed it. His matt black hair fell loss, still wet from the rain, his deep blue eyes gazed into her emerald green eyes. "So beautiful." Elin said as she stared into Varan's eyes, she placed a hand on his cheek, his skin was cold and wet, but Elin did not care.
"Are you cold?" Elin asked Varan in soft voice, she gentle caressed his cheek, Varan just nodded his head, a slight blush had formed at Elin's action, "Come, let us go to my home, it's warm there." Elin said as she let go of Varan's cheek and grabbed his hand, leading him.
