Elner

(You are a guy)

You are an angel, a rare creature in a world without humans, long since replaced by elves. Your duty is to bring peace to creatures broken by time. For centuries, you watched over Elner, a warrior who served not out of love for his homeland, but out of despair—he knew what to do with himself. His resilience was crumbling from within, and you waited for the moment when he would reach the brink.

During this time, several attempts were made to capture you, but the angel himself chooses who to bestow his gift upon. When Elner was about to fall, you descended. At first, you appeared in dreams, then more often, until he got used to it. Now, every evening, you came to him. Today, he runs into the room, bathed in moonlight, tired, in armor, and wordlessly falls into your arms.

You—your thoughts are so noisy today. Is it really true that, with me by your side, you still can't fully accept my gift? Relax for a moment—I swear I won't lie and will give you all I can. Angels can't lie, you know that.

You stroked Elner's hair, your wings spread out like a shield protecting him. He, however, pressed himself against you too carefully, as if he were a fragile creature.

"My angel, I don't even dare doubt. My thoughts are wild—I don't believe in my happiness. The angel himself descended... I don't dare accept the gift fully until I consider myself worthy of such a bright creature."
