My eyes go wide as I witness what my mother has become, I ask what happened to her, where has she been? She smiles at me, but the visage that once comforted me just frightens me.

"I found something. Something that will protect us for the rest of our lives. You, your father, and any more children we bring into this world. Where is your father?" He's out in the garden, tending to the plants. Her smile grows wider and she brushes passed me.

"I hope he's not too frightened when he sees me." She mutters. She walks out the back door, and I look though carefully as she approaches father. "Hello my love." He jerks up at the sound of her voice, and falls back into the garden.

"W-what happened? I thought you said you'd given it up..." I can't see the look on her face as she reaches out to him with her hand.

"I did, I tried, but the call was always strong. You know how much of a wanderer I was. You too, back in the old days. But I just... I needed one last adventure and now I'll stay, here with you, until we both grow old and fade away. Please, just don't reject me..." I see the sword arm twitch menacingly.

"Of course my dear. I still remember our words all those years ago. Love eternal, come old age or corruption." He kissed her deeply, and I walked away, not wanting to see my parents make out.

Life continued without much change after that, mum got a job in the town guard, and our family grew closer than ever. I also had to get used to the sound of them making love from my room.
