The ocean had looked so peaceful. The sound of the lapping waves was a constant noise, soothing. Clear water sparkled as it moved, the tide was slowly starting to come in. Every once in a while, the water would touch her bare feet as she stood on the hot sand. The cooling feeling that it produced helped to relax her more.
It seemed like she was there for quite a while when the thought hit her. How did she get there? She would have remembered driving out that far, wouldn't she? The empty space in her memory started to plant a series of worrisome thoughts, distressed at the lack of information. Soon even the gentle waves were like a terrible reminder of the current situation.
Honeysuckle and magnolia drifted into her senses. Much like the waves, the subtle smell wanted to calm and soothe. There was a sense of another causing her to turn around. A tall man was there, hands in the pockets of a flowy white outfit. Eyes wide open, the dark irises that understood everything and plump lips that it itched to talk. He stepped up to her, barefoot as well to enjoy the company and the view.
"Your view is so peaceful. Have you been here before?" His low voice carried weight but had a hint of playfulness that made her own mouth twitch up.
"Yes." She paused after that immediate answer, "No. Well, I have but I don't remember it being so clear and less crowded. But it's been so long that it could have cleared up."
He hummed and turned his attention back to the clear water. A peaceful silence seemed to blanket them in its embrace and neither one could tell how long it went on for. His deep voice eased its way between them.
“Dear one, I wish we could stay here forever but you know we can’t.”
She turned around to him, suddenly afraid. A beeping could be heard and he took her hand before she could look towards it. He smiled and gently squeezed it, pulling her along.
“I died, didn’t I?” She finally asked. Sorrow started to build and her feet didn’t want to move. “I was fighting for so long but I failed…”
He stopped and looked up to the sky, as if he was deep in thought. With a sigh, he turned to her and smiled.
“I am Thanatos but you know me as Chansung. I am the God of Peaceful Death and I have known you for several lifetimes.”
Images flashed by, a little girl and boy playing in the sand. The girl insisting on being the Prince to protect him. Them being a little older, both crying cause she was moving away. Getting a letter to meet up many years later. Their first kiss, so nervous and ending up knocking over the soda nearby. More images but the ones that came by were them in other types of clothes, other places and other times.
“You didn’t fail in your struggle. It was simply time to rest from such a plight. I am always here, to give you love and peace because fate has tied us together. I am grateful for it.”
She wanted to cry but he reached out to stroke her cheek before the tears came. It was a relief and her heart recognized him with so much joy. She didn’t feel afraid anymore as she gave him a warm hug. They embraced there in the sand and sunny sky, old friends after so long.
“Let’s go. I want to be with you forever.”
He smiled and led her along the long beach. Their figures faded like wisps in the wind while the beach gently lapped at its borders. No more sadness or pain, just peace.
