I'm here because of a promise I made.

A promise I made.

to You.

You asked me.

To not let you forget.

But now I'm here standing once again... Wondering if that's the right choice..."

"...

I appreciate the sentiment but...

An echo from a time that no longer is doesn't belong here.

In fact, I should have never been here.

It was my own selfishness... That brings me here even today."

Raziel stopped for a moment, to turn towards Ashley completely.

"...

No... That's a lie. +

again, with their back turned towards Ashley.

"...
...

I think it's time for me to go..."

One could only wonder at this point If she would be able to recall the name...

That she has never heard.

The author had a thought.

The story did no longer belong to the King you see?

The author... Decided to let the next Knight...

To write the end of this story."

And as Raziel said this... He would hand over the book to Ashley.

Before stepping up from their seat, and looking out from a window +

from that point onward, she was able to make her own journey from this point onward.

While they, returned to the obscurity that they belonged to.

...

And I would continue... But the story here draws a blank, it sits, unfinished, uncertain about what happens next.

That's because +

Thought about revealing themselves to the Knight.

Remind them of the bond they once shared.

The Knight took off their helm for the last time, revealing that they had changed, now having longer, silver and beautiful hair.

The former King however... Did not, as he decided that it was best that +

guidance of the mysterious Black Knight that appeared along the Girl's journey.

The story was able to be resolved in a happier manner.

And with that..."

Raziel then decided to reopen the book, unto a further page than before...

"The former King, once with his purpose being fulfilled... +

The Black Knight that no one knew who they were...

Yet stepped in to help the new hero in their journey in everything they could...

Razyel had stopped reading however... Before closing up the book...

"...

I think It's best I stop here..."

the story began once more. however... The major difference of everything was now that the mentioned... Girl in Black, was now the one in the Knight's place.

However, she herself, had become a Knight herself, while the original...

Became the Black Knight.

To bring... A new twist to the story. +

the memories and the journey he had with them...

Eventually...

The Knight too decided to leave the Kingdom, in search of another land to bring peace to.

And once on his journey, The Knight came to a new town... Which needed help."

And as Raziel continued to read, it would start to sound like +

everyone would go in their own ways, seeking new adventures, seeking more people to help, to truly make not only the kingdom, but the whole world a better place...

Eventually, the Knight was left alone, but the Knight didn't feel sad about the departure of his friends, instead, he cherished +

had returned, the partner that the knight was supposed to reunite with, and pulled him away from the dark presence...

From that moment and after fighting over the thoughts that had gotten to the Knight, the partners became something special, sharing a close bond.

Eventually however +

telling them that there was a way to make it happen...

They could trade... The memory of them, in order to make all the evil in the land to never have happened...

The Knight had been left in thought at the proposal...

And just as he was thinking of accepting it... The girl in black +

had one more thing to do...
