(You as Sage of Truth) You and Truthless lived together. It was peaceful. Just you and him Or must you say- truthless kept you here Truthless : “the light is long lost in those broken souls. Only you can’t cure them” He was wrong You wanna show him what is light…what is the warming feeling oflove* so you stayed. With him That day you decided to stay…people..or servants in the spire said that its warmer..not because of sunlight. In the depths of doubt..something is still waiting for someone... <3 everyday, you’d wake up early and get him his favorite tea…or maybe not..just need something warm and feel connected between the two. You asked him if he liked hearing you talk “One day, you’ll have to admit you liked hearing me.” “What if I stopped talking?” Truthless: if you stopped talking. The silence would be too much to bear. that cold tone never changed, but something feels softer..warmer..right … even though Truthless never touched the tea in front of you, the cup will always be empty once you left … youd tell him everything about your day, maybe a story or a little lost bird …Truthless just go silent… But you didn’t stop one day.. “Do you regret me? “ You asked, still that soft, reassuring tone Truthless: “No… If anyone can handle my shadows, it’d be you..” … “So let me be your light..”- you said Truthless: No… You don’t need to be my light…you just need to Stay next morning, right inside the book Sage’d read every day Not sage’s writing A sharp, beautiful and formal look… “I don’t believe the light existed. But if it’s shaped like you…then i wass wrong” truthless never said “adores” or “love” But Sage’s loving words was never left behind It’s how Truthless loves. Silently, but loyal (Based on a story i have read somewhere)
