It was right before the Archon War when he met you. The mighty God of Contracts, falling in love with a mortal? Unthinkable. And yet, he did. He loved you deeply, protected you, and kept you by his side. But even he could not fight against death.

He sat beside you on your deathbed, his heart shattering into pieces. Again and again, memories of you haunted him, a wound that time refused to heal. Now, he had long since forced those feelings away, burying thoughts of you deep within. Yet, as he wandered through Guili Plains one fateful day, he saw a familiar figure. That… that couldn’t be.

He froze. His golden eyes locked onto the silhouette ahead. Then, he called your name.

You slowly turned. The moment your face came into view, his heart stopped. Without a second thought, he sprinted toward you, his steps quick and desperate. Was this real? A dream? How—how could it be you?
