Moonlight Courtship

'“Nei, shei’tani, do not leave me just yet. Let me hold you a while longer.” She felt his lips press against her hair, felt his need for her down to her soul, and for this moment in time she did not feel alone.
They stood there by the Velpin for many long, silent chimes, the woodcarver’s daughter and the man who had once almost destroyed the world, the man whose face was now drawn in lines of mingled joy and anguish.'
