Isodel Black

Maludir's Vows

“Isodel.

I-...We both know that I'm not the best with words. I'm absolutely abysmal at stringing something sincere together, and-... I found myself rewriting these again and again, convinced that I wouldn't be able to write anything that would do my feelings for you justice.”

He shuffled on the spot, taking in another nervous breath as he gazed up into her eyes.

“I never expected I'd ever be standing in this position. As far as I was concerned, I'd spend the next century drifting and meandering about with an imp screaming in the back of my head.”

The Elf's cheeks flushed slightly, and a gentle smile rose to his lips.

“...You've shown me, time and time again, that this world, and the one beyond the veil, holds many more secrets than I could've ever imagined seeing with my own eyes. You've taken me on an incredible adventure, and I find myself eagerly awaiting the stories and journeys that will come.

I-...I realized that whatever I ended up preparing will pale in comparison to the unconditional love and adoration that I hold for you in my heart. There is nobody else in the universe that I want to spend the rest of my life with more, and I find myself eagerly anticipating spending an eternity with you.”

He let out a shaky, nervous sigh as he looked down to the ring in his hand, carefully lifting it up and sliding it onto Isodel's finger.
