Lex smiled as Izak made his way over.
'Thanks, I just thought this place needed a little something to brighten it up.' he commented stroking one of the soft petals gently.
The elf looked up a Izak's next question, a tad startled.
'Serpent...? Ah. It was not so much what he said but his aura of superiority. He exaggerates it and people or, whatever he was, that are so self absorbed annoy me greatly and I couldn't stand being in his presence any longer.' Lex explained agitatedly, that man, as far as he was concerned, failed in his job anyway and therefore had no reason to be so pompous.
'Izak, may I ask you one question in return?' Lex looked up into the angel's eyes, 'Being an elf I am very aware of my surroundings you see. I could tell you exactly how many creatures are living in the pond below us. But I sense an extra presense around you, it has bugged me as such ever since I first saw you. If it none too personal, would you mind explaining it to me?' He looked away and stared disdainfully at the murky water, maybe he should lift all the debri out.
_________________ … I was saved, by a vampire – ironically. She saved me from a life of loneliness, hatred and fear. Without her I am nothing… without her I go back to the morbid, cynical man I once was. I used to hate love, despise the thought of it. I would pity people who let themselves fall into the grasp of such a useless emotion - but now I don’t know how I got along. I feel warm again, my soul content, no longer restless, cold and malicious. She is the light that shines within me, the beacon I follow in times of turmoil and doubt.
Her name is Jacqueline… Jacqueline Marakov. Nothing can get in the way of true love, not even death. So long as she is by my side my heart will continue to beat.
I will always come for you Jacq… You are my life's meaning.
