Rune shifted his weight from foot to foot efforlessly as he stood at the gate of the portal. Suddenly a light flashed and the portals doors flung open. A strange girl walked out of it, a green cloak covering her face. She walked slowly, as if she were drifting and her head was tilted down so her face was not visible. The girl looked up at Rune gasped as her hood fell back. She was so familiar! That pale skin, those luscious green eyes. Had she been a dream? No, she was so real. He knew her. He knew this girl from the sacred realm. "Rune." she said, her voice clear as ice, but coated with kindness. Suddenly her name came to him. It had been a fling, a forbidden fling long ago. Rune gasped. "Dawn. Is that you?" She smiled slightly. "Yes. I have a favor to ask of you. " Her pale blonde hair was partially showing from her hood and Rune smiled. He had always loved her hair. He shook his head faintly to clear his thoughts, he had to focus. "Anything." Dawn nodded, but paused. "Will you stop Akari from coming through the portal? She's not safe here, and it is Anahira's will." Rune's eyes widened but he nodded. "Okay, I will do my best. But it is also Ambrosia's will to let her through." Dawn gasped at this but she averted her eyes to the ground. "I wonder what she's up to, that-" Rune cut her off. "Don't forget, you are in the Twilight Realm." he said. Dawn gave him a faint smile. "Yes, yes, of course. Thank you, Rune." Rune smiled back. "No problem." Dawn leaned in and kissed him lightly before pulling away. "Good bye, Rune." she said sadly. "Good bye, Dawn." With that Dawn hopped into the portal and the doors clamped shut behind her. Rune blinked back tears and turned back away from the portal. He had no idea when he would see the Ermyn again. The young, beautiful Ermyn, he might add. He shook his head once more, knowing they could never be and looked towards the setting sun, this was going to be a long day.
