Wisher's Life.
That's what's written on it.
That's what it's asking for.
There was no escape... There was no other way out of this cursed circle.
This was how it was always meant to be... how it was always going to be... A life in exchange for beginning the New World.
A sacrifice to trigger something greater.
Yet... it was asking for her life... His beloved.
The very thought sent a sharp twist through his chest.
Could he really do it?
Could he find a way to escape, even after promising with every breath in his body that he would protect her no matter what? Even after saying so proudly, so confidently, so blindly, that he would shield her from everything?
And yet... in the end... it demanded the one thing he couldn't give up.
A life?
How cruel could fate be?
Or maybe... how cruel was he, for falling in love with someone who was never meant to live, no matter what choices he made or what path he took?
