Why does her absence bother me so much? I mused, my fingers twitching with the urge to feel her delicate skin once more.
The sensations she evoked in me were unfamiliar yet intoxicating, much like the melodies from ancient lullabies — forgotten yet embedded deep within.
The truth was, Ellie wasn’t just another Prize; she was my Distant Vision mate.
A concept I never gave much credence to until now.
In our culture, finding one’s Distant Vision mate is a sacred rite, revered and celebrated.
It is believed that the universe binds two souls together, crafting a shared destiny.
It’s an unparalleled bond, one that comes once in a lifetime.
And now, with Ellie’s abrupt departure, an overwhelming fear of losing our shared future began to seep in.
I reclined against the cold, unyielding wall of the cell, letting the chill penetrate my skin.
Memories of my childhood teachings regarding the Distant Vision played in my mind.
It was said that the moment you meet your mate, the universe hums in harmony, a melody only the two of you can hear.
This connection was cosmic, spiritual, and bound by destiny, a union of souls that even the gods celebrated.
And more than that, it was foretold to bestow incredible powers upon those who possess it…
Had I ruined it by keeping her at arm’s length? I pondered.
The soft touch of her hand, the gentle cadence of her voice, her warm presence — all were etched in my memory, even though our time together was fleeting.
Should I have done more?
Said more?
Been more open?
My inner turmoil swelled, and the walls of the cell seemed to close in on me.
I yearned to rectify my inaction, to seize our shared destiny.
An aching longing filled me, a visceral pull that made every fiber of my being yearn for her.
It was as if I could still hear the soft shuffle of her feet, feel the heat of her body close to mine, and smell the delicate floral scent she wore.
But above all, it was hope she had given me — a tantalizing, sweet flavor of a future where we might be free, together.
A strange thought occurred to me; it was odd how someone from a world so different from mine, someone I barely knew, had come to mean so much.
But then again, that’s the magic of the Distant Vision.
It defied logic, blurred boundaries, and created connections where none seemed possible.
As the hours ebbed away, my anxiety grew.
Every whisper in the hallway, every footstep made my heart race, hoping it would be her return.
But time played its cruel trick, stretching each second into an eternity of waiting.
I had to see her.
