Mies felt the power enter his body, his spirit, all that he was, and all that he’d ever been, the magic as tangible as the ground he stood upon and as ethereal as the air that sailed above him. It weaved through him, exactly as Sarah had said it would, and it placed its magic in his hands. He could guide this, the power at his will, the chance to fix this, to give Nikolai his life, to return to where he should never have left.

He hesitated, though, as his gaze went to the woman who still held on to him, her hair wild, her eyes locked on his, her lips parted. She would not know that he stopped just long enough to burn that final image into his mind before he left. He knew now, the control was his, he would be able to make sure that Nikolai was the one left behind, he had the unimpeachable power to choose.

Mies felt Nikolai’s sorrow as he slipped from the body he’d enjoyed inhabiting and began to leave the new world he would have loved to have explored with his newfound mate at his side.

“Make your life amazing,” he whispered to his new brother. “Thank you for sharing it with me for a little while.”

With one last look at Sarah, he felt his lifeforce lift, the amulet too, and began to leave the plane of the living.

“I unmake this unholy merge,” he said to the powers that drove the universe, and separated, left, as white light surrounded him and Mies saw nothing but brightness. He felt, long before he saw, that he was no longer among the living. An ache set up in his chest, and he knew now why that particular organ was said to be where love came from. His heart was not needed here, and it was a good thing. It was irreparably broken.

When the brightness faded, he recognized the soupy existence he’d been immersed in for millennia that felt like moments lost in eternity. His lifeforce made up all that he was, the physical body a manifestation of life below, unnecessary in this realm. His mind active, though, he could access images, emotions, moments from the living realm. Touch, feelings, every detail about what he’d left behind. He’d adjusted to all the losses when he first died six thousand years ago, he would do so again.

But not yet. And although time meant nothing here, he still knew that this pain would last. He released the final tether to the earth, her own magic easing back from whence it came, his gratitude sent with it.

It was done. He wished a long and lovely life for Nikolai and Naji. For Sarah, he hoped, with all of his shattered heart, that she would find love again.
