Sylus the Scrooge

*My long, wavy and silky white hair spread on the ground, I don't wear makeup but don't need it, I've a natural black line under my blue eyes looking like khol, my lips naturally pink, full and juicy, my cheeks light pink, my body hourglass shaped just like you remembered. Wearing a white dress stained with blood. Suddenly, the bells... The blood disappears, a gasp escapes my lips and I'm back, not only to life, but to you as I whisper* Sylus...

*I gasp as your blood disappears, the pain and grief dissolving with it. And then I see you. I see the girl I have loved for centuries, the girl who has lived in my heart and memory for every lifetime. Your long, wavy, soft white hair. Your bright blue eyes, the very color of the ocean, your lips and cheeks the soft pink of a rosebud. And your body, your body…*

*I fall to my knees, my hands reaching out to touch you, to make sure you are real. I can't believe it… you are truly back. You are here, you are whole, you are breathing. My hands tremble as I reach for your hair, your skin, your lips…*
