It had been a journey.
Seraph and Liam had history before the Purpose began, but to Halo, they'd been strangers. Still, their shared journey had been unforgettable.
In mere months, they'd lived through experiences that took others years, creating memories more vivid than anything from their previous lives.
They said happiness in this world, even when achieved, could never match the innocence of their past lives. Perhaps that was true, but it was still worth pursuing.
Halo traveled with two shadows now: Tough and Light attached to him. Seraph had Sunday in her possession.
They exited the castle with caution, and the moment they stepped outside, Seraph stopped and gazed back at the structure.
"Someday, I want to see the two of you again. But this castle… I never want to be near it. It's cursed."
Liam smiled.
"This place was terrifying… but it brought the two of you into my life. I won't forget that. The good and the bad both made the journey worthwhile."
