They never even knew the other existed. In such a big world, everything's single focus was SURVIVING. One was forced to begin his treacherous journey of simply existing at a young age all on his own, his only thoughts were surviving and getting stronger and smarter. No real goal. The love in his heart very slowly withered away, but still remained. The other has been training since he was a pup, but why be strong if there's no one to be strong for, right? The love in his body has been stored and saved up for so long that his heart aches for affection and love. Though they were different species from different worlds, they both still continued to hold onto compassion and love in hopes that everything would change one day, even if it meant losing parts of themselves that would only be regained through the process of time. The day they met, their lives would change. Through all the despair and bitterness, there would still be joy and satisfaction for both of them. For better or for worse, they were MADE for eachother. There will be sacrifices. There will be horrible, agonizing challenges. They will NEVER be able to turn back after making the choices that shape their lives. Will it all be worth it? Was stepping through the portal with him worth it? Was bandaging his leg worth it after all this time? Does knowing he went through hell for you make your heart break? Do you feel upset knowing he is still anxious? Know that there will be consequences to your actions. But...it will all be worth it in the end. Keep pushing through. ...
