Time ticks by, not slowing down, and nor does life, Rosalyne and Rostam had grown to be quite close friends over the following years. Though often split by work they would still be there for one another. Rosalyne would sing where the wind would carry her calming voice to Rostam, who would day and night keep her and everyone else safe. In the thick of work, they rarely have free time. Yet whenever he grew weary Rostam could hear her distant voice and felt Invigorated. One such day, Rostam was working in the Knights HQ with Arundolyn.
“When are you two really gonna get together? I mean you are practically already dating”
Arundolyn asked the Question, as he heard Rosalyne’s distant song, of a clean and stainless world. He found it amusing that the two were so obviously in love but also so shy, about it. Arundolyn Closed the map he was reading. “You should tell her soon since we are going on our expedition, Wold Pup.” Rostam Set down his books and sighed.
“I know but…over these 13 years it's just that..we've become such good friends that, well I don’t want to mess everything up with her” Rostam had a sort of sad and conflicted tone, like he didn’t like what he was doing. At the door to the office, a young man asked ”May we come in?” With Arundolyn’s approval, a Young knight being trained by Rostam, named Roland entered alongside, Rosalyne with a surprise visit. Rostam was pleasantly surprised to see them.
Rosalyne spoke to Rostam her tone, a mix of scalding and worry she said, looking at the knights “You two need a day off, we can’t have you working yourselves to death!” She crossed her arms and Huffed a bit. Roland also spoke up too them “You don’t need to worry about your duties, I can fill in for the time, overworking will only hinder you.” Arundolyn and Rostam sighed.
Arundolyn responded first and said “Fine, I think I could use some alone time to rest.” he stood up from his desk and gave his friend a sly glance, that silently said Go for it. Rostam would sigh and nod. He couldn’t put it off forever, so he had just do it someday, anyways.
“So do you have something planned for us? Rostam asked as they exited the HQ together, Rosalyne nodded “I have somewhere I want to show you” before responding Leading him out of the city walls, she led to a secluded field among the mountains, everywhere there were crimson flowers, golden flowers, orange flowers, like a fragrant field of fire, and among them, the Crimson lotus moths, danced through the air, like a scene from a dream.
“I wanted to bring you here because I wanted to tell you something” She looked a bit sad, and yet also calmed by the area, and Rostam’s presence. She continued on “I Will have to leave for Sumeru in a few days, to go to the Akeydimya and finish my studies, and I’m going to be away for several months.” Rostam wasn’t completely surprised, he had a feeling this could happen, after all, Rosalyne was an extremely bright, Insightful, and intelligent girl.
“I promise I’ll send you letters while I’m away,” she said, not wanting to have the negative note. Rostam said, “I promise I’ll send you a reply to every one of them too. Also, I have something I need to tell you…” When Rosalyne heard his response her heart skipped several beats, could this be it, she was suddenly overwhelmed but excitement, fear, joy, and anxiety.
She quickly asked him “Yeah? What is it?”
“Rosalyne since the first time I ever met you…” His heart was pounding so hard, he was scared, but he believed in himself, he had to do this, If he never did anything it only make worse regret, so he finally spit it out, after a thirteen-year wait the moment happened!
“Rosalyne since the first time I ever met you I was in love, our bond means the world to me, and I wouldn’t trade it for the world, I love you!” He started to gasp, he just shot it out but when he felt her wrap her arms around him and lean against him she quite cried, yet she also bore a smile, as she “I love you too!” They both just whited out honestly so overwhelmed they couldn’t recall a thing afterward.
And so a few days, passed, and at the same time, they hugged each either goodbye for now. Rostam gave Rosalyne a hydro timepiece to countdown to their reunion, and She gave him her word, that when they reunite they would marry each other. “Until we meet again!” And so they would head opposite ways from their Home of Mondstat, Rosalyne Headed for the Land of Wisdom Sumeru, and Rostam for khaenri'ah
So time would go passed on and on, all was well, and the two kept in close contact, so when a day came a letter did not arrive from Rostam Rosalyne began to worry when the same happened, each day she began to panic as her last letter said he was leaving khaenri'ah the next day, so he should be home by now, quickly as her studies concluded she paniced her things and left, not caring for her accolades, nor praise she more pressing thing to worry about now.
Meanwhile, in Khaenri'ah Rostam and Arundolyn, battle tooth and nail with their fellow Knights, Chaos ensued so suddenly as the sky was dyed black, and darkness overran the nation, beasts like no other would attack, and they would defend, but there was no end to them, these strange goblin-like being coming from nowhere and attacking it a rage.
Roland yelled to his piers “More coming from the south!” he leapt into battle his blade moving like a Cicin zipping around blood all over, but he was separated from the group, none the less he butchered his way through the hoards in spite of Rostam telling him to come back.
Now with the south left open, the knights were surrounded, a large hulking beast hand emerged from the darkness and charged at the group splitting it apart, Rostam by a towering ledge, witha few other knights, he yelled to Arundolyn, and the majority of the remaining group.
“Retreat, we can buy you time, I don’t care if you don’t to leave us, you have too!” Rostam was attacked by another wolf-like thing, it claws narrowly evaded, though he quickly cut it in two. Arudolyn bit his tounge he wanted to puke, and he hated it but Rostam was right, it was time to go. As he and his men made their way away, he saw Rostam and the two knights with him fight better then ever before.
“Fight until you die!” Rostam cut down monster after monster, as did his companions but it was fearsome, swing after swing he followed far behind the others, hoping to make it home, his two fellow knights already fell, and yet he didn’t let up he couldn’t right now, he battle his way home, cleaving through monster of monster, his weariness grew but He wanted to keep his promise to her. As he saw his upon the horizon he saw a dragon raging chaos, yet he keapt moving forwards, he had to make it back, and help keep everyone safe.
Flames raged as her tiredly ran towards the city, through valley the Wind dragon befriended by the archon long ago battle against the evil dragon above and before hima monster emered from the smoke, it almost looked human, but also like a knight its black, armor almost weled to its body, flames pouring from its flagless banner pole, as it charged forwards swinging the pole, Rostam narrowly eveded the attack, and countered with a quick stab, to his suprise the beast blocked his attack, and knocked him backwards. “I need to end this fast” Rostam, wound lunge forward his blade cleaving through the air, but again the black knight blocked him, and slammed him down, at the same time the evil dragon, fell its poisened blood rained on the area, and Rostam.
Despite his best efforts, Rostam could barely keep up with this monster, his weariness and poisened state whittling him down faster. But he keapt forging forward, every swing witch just as mutch Conviction and will as ever, Rostam performed a series of swings, each attack clanged againts the defenses of the knight, witch used a new attack catching rostam off gaurd as molten metal formed a mlag it swung at him, he narrowly evaded it falling backwards a rolling away.
As the beast raised it weapon to finish, rostam quickly stood up at the same time both struck, Rostam impaled the foe on his sword, through the head, while it slammed it weapon against him, shattering his chestplat and breaking his shoulder and arm. It didn’t matter, he didn’t feel the pain because cared so little about it, the injuries he had accumulated had taken their, toll he only made it only a little further before he fell against a tree, his sword toppeling of a ledge and down to the city so close yet so far he could see it but, the blood, trialing from him was all over him. He couln’t stand back up, he couldn’t move anymore.
So when the poisened dragon fell and so did, he recalled the faces off everyone he knew but Rosalyne stood, out her voice it faded, everything was fading and yet he still just once more wanted to here her songs, and make her dreams come true, but he knew she should atleast be safe traveling afar. He looked at one lone violet flower as his vision faded “She would love that one…” The knight, had no blood leaft and his breath stopped.
Meanwhile While Calamity ran amuck Rosalyne traveled home, incinerating anything that got between her and her love, and yet she still feared the worse, with each disintegration monster as she forged through the darkness, and Maisama. “I don’t have time for you” She said every time, paying mind to other suffering people, not when she was worried for Rostam she could not delay.
The worst has come, such a cruel fate to befall young lovers, and nobody needed to tell Rosalyne she knew, as Arundolyn, silently told her the truth, Holding Rostam’s dulled and worn sword with the way he sank and looked, away when he saw her arrive, his hand tight, it looked like he was going to scream, and he was betrayed by his expression, Rosalyne just fell to her knees weeping she could not be calmed, and she ran away towards that field of flowers, when she arrived at the place that once calmed her, instead it made it worse, it was both destroyed and a painful reminder. It was at this
She heard a roar echo from the icy mountain, as the Sku dragon battled another dragon, an evil devistating the land a feirce battle raged above, and Rosalyne saw one flower still safe amongst the chaos, so she went to it sitting by it protecting it from beasts all the days the dragons battled, until atlast the Anemo archon would arrive, and aid the sky dragon and the people, yet she did not feel gratitude at her long Absent god’s return, “I don’t deserves this!”She could barely speak with all her tears
Instead Rosalyne felt spite, and ager and She screamed Roaring in pain, her eyes pouring, as she clawed at her chest as if trying to rip out that heart witch caused her so much pain right now. She screamed “Danm the gods and fate! Why do i face such cruelty, that you couldn’t even do your roles!” She weapt but, water tears begane to change, before she had some level of composure but now as she just outpoured that ability she had always had, and had lalelty fired up, and her time piece turned to liquid flames, her tears too, but they did not murn her face, she could not contain her tears, as the area around her was closed in on by another waved of the horde she didn’t care she just still sat their wailing like a banshee
And yet no monster’s came upon her, as fire engulfed everything around her, and as she watched them turn to ash, those wicked beasts that caused all this she knew what she wanted to do next, she made her way too town, and cast aside her old life, she bore a large brimmed crimson hat, that blocked her view partially and obscured her. She tied her back, and got a long red dress, and gloves, and items to cover her body as she new what she would do, she said her final goodbyes, and into the woods she weant, and ignited, her insides churned into a raging inferno her body becoming a shell containing a nearly unstoppable flame, she set away, with one goal in mind.
“I will cleanse this disgusting and crooked world, and I will make his dream come true”
The End. Wow, I feel I did better on the one before this, and this one might need context. So Durin didn't die twice, it's just two different perspectives,
The knights Found Rostam's sword but Not Rostam himself, I'm gonna update it after feedback.
