[IC] The promised sorcerer bride-break the fate

[Vampiretwilight]

Eric blinked.
"why? don't the townspeople know magic is real?"
He sounded worried about her now.

[Sharidi37495]

Marin sighs. “I’m not sure, but most are afraid of people like me, magical people. I accidentally shifted in front of a human, and he tried to burn me.”

[Shadow Dragon]

"Thank you."

[Vampiretwilight]

Eric blinked. He frowned.
"well...i'm not afraid of you."

Angel nodded. She faintly smiled.

[Shadow Dragon]

He reaches out for her hand, hesitant.

[Sharidi37495]

Marin smiles softly. "I know. Thank you."

[Vampiretwilight]

Angel held out her hand. She placed it in his. She had seen him being hesitant.

………………………………..

Eric turned red. He faintly smiled and managed a nod.

[Shadow Dragon]

He swallows with difficulty. "Have I done any good?"

[Vampiretwilight]

"you originally wanted to get stronger so you could help, you especially wanted to....protect me."
Angel sighed after she said that.

[Shadow Dragon]

"That's....probably why I...... forgot you. To try to save you from my ambition." He sighs.

[Sharidi37495]

Marin frowns at the darkening sky, then seems to remember something. “You said your a magician, right? I’d love to see a show sometime, maybe I’d be able to give you some tips as to how to make it more realistic. I can’t do magic myself beyond shape shifting, but I worked with an esteemed sorcerer for quite a long time. If you want, of course.”

[Vampiretwilight]

Angel frowned.
"...if you say so."
She leaned against him.
"...I doubt it though. you would have erased my memory as well, but since you forgot me..."

…………………………….

Eric blinked. He turned red.
"That...that's ok. you don't have to."
He bit his lip for a moment. Her suggestion felt like she was asking him out on a date, he thought.
"but...but you can see a show if you'd like."

[Shadow Dragon]

"I made some deals with some powerful and strange beings, but one of the conditions was that they'd get the freedom of everyone I loved. So I wiped you away, to keep you free." He chokes back a sob. "I've been such a fool."

[Vampiretwilight]

Angel hugged him.
"You were a fool, but for more than just that."
She held back a smirk as she teared up.

[Shadow Dragon]

He laughs, nearly choking. "What, are we just going to go down the list now?" He smiles, his eyes shiny.

[Vampiretwilight]

Angel chuckled.
"There's that smile that made you so handsome."

[Shadow Dragon]

"Still don't know what to do about my eyes though."

[Sharidi37495]

Marin frowns faintly then shrugs. "Alright. I just thought it would draw more crowds, but if you're certain I'll leave you alone." She frowns when she realizes it's getting late, and swears under her breath in an ancient language.

[Vampiretwilight]

Eric blinked.
"i'm sorry. did I do something wrong?"
He frowned.
"I just didn't want a beautiful girl to work hard like that because of me."
He blushed.

…………………….

Angel blinked.
"take your time."
She faintly smiled.

[Shadow Dragon]

He studies them in the reflection of a random piece of silverware. "They're so....dark. Empty."
