Alyssa
Two years later...
––––––––
Ihad the best of bothworlds.
Admittedly, sometimes it was difficult to basically live two lives but I did it
It felt liberating to do so, although for most it would probably be restricting. I only felt that way when I had to keep my secret life from my friends.
However, having Dante in my world, in the human realm made it easier.
They knew I was with him, always with him.
He had both worlds too.
He said now that he had someone he cared for in the human realm it was an easy thing to decide.
Two years ago when we found each other my life changed.
Grandma was right. My world changed in ways I couldn’t imagine.
There was bad, but there was more good.
Definitely a lot more good.
I embraced my path as a mage and spent time learning their ways, and enhancing my powers and abilities. It didn’t take long because of my own natural abilities as a syphon.
Two years had passed and I still didn’t know the extent of what I could do, although I felt satisfied that what I was doing now was exactly what I should be doing.
Dante and I bounced between Picchus and our home on Ithaca, one of its moons.
Ithaca was perfect for me because it looked like living in a dream. Like a fantasy fairytale painting with its colors of violets ,blues and pinks.
Today was my birthday again.
I was thirty years old.
Last year’s birthday was as special as I wanted it to be. My advertising company brought me unimaginable success and it was amazing to see my dreams unfold.
I was happy with that and Dante and I went to the Seychelles.
He’d taken me to Brazil for Valentines day.
Today, we lay arm in arm on the beach of Ithaca on crystal pink sand with the waves of the baby pink sea gracing the shore line.
This was just outside our house, but we loved it. I loved it.
“Happy birthday Alyssa,” Dante whispered into my ear.
“Thank you.” I kissed the edge of his jaw, loving the feel of his skin on my lips.
“I have one more present to give you.” He smiled and shuffled to sit up.
I sat up too and shook my head. “As if everything else you gave me wasn’t enough.”
