"Kaelos..."
As soon as I whispered his name, he froze. He was wearing a black suit with a ceremonial cape that flowed into the air behind him.
When he turned around slowly to face me, his shoulder-length black hair obscured his face a bit, although his silver eyes still shone as bright as ever.
"Kaelos, it's really you..." I couldn't help but say as I rushed to him, spreading my arms before hugging him.
He froze at first, but soon his arms wrapped around me, soothing whatever distress I had felt instantly. I was safe as long as he held me.
"Odessa..." He muttered softly into my ears, his voice low. "You're actually here. Although, I'm kinda confused about where 'here' is. Is this heaven? Am I dead?"
I scanned my gaze around the ethereal-looking beach after he had finished asking his questions. Or, at least, I thought he had finished asking his questions.
"Wait, if I'm dead and you're here..." He blurted, pulling away from the hug and placing his hands on my shoulder.
