Dammit.
I dove off the tower. I grabbed Emilia, Then quickly unfurled my wings.
I felt my shoulders pull painfully.
I’m not doing the again.
I held her tight in my arms, and we floated down to the ground.
She fell out of my arms.
She crawled up, and looked at straight at me.
“Do you believe now?” I asked for what seemed the millionth time.
“Yes!” She said, embracing me. “You saved my life, you…you are-”
“I am your guardian angel, Emilia.” I said softly. “I will be with you until you die. If I ever let that happen.”
She looked up at me with the most endearing eyes, then buried her face in my chest.
I held her for quite a while.
She will love me, eventually. I know it.
