A Bond Unchanged

The orange light from the rising sun broke through the crack in the curtains, lightly illuminating the bedroom in the soft glow of the early morning light. Izar's eyes opened slowly, closing again as they came in contact with the burning orange before allowing them to adjust and open them once more. His gaze fell on the sight of his wife, her quiet breaths an indication that she remained asleep but he knew she too would likely be waking soon. A soft smile forms on his face at the sight of his peacefully sleeping wife, bring up his hand to run gently down her forearm tucked neatly against her body as to rest one of her hands under her cheek. The scars that ran now her otherwise perfect skin would be a lasting reminder of the events that took place several months ago when Shattered Dusk had come so close to taking everything away from them. He quickly shook away the thoughts, finding no joy in recalling his own weakness and inability to protect Theia from the monsters that tried to control her. He let out a pleasant sigh before leaning in to press a chaste kiss on the forehead of his beloved before rolling over to sit on the side of the bed with a slight creak that he knew would wake the woman who loved to wake with the rising sun.
