The war was over. The fire burned its course, leaving only embers in its wake.
Siber lay in the cool water, his golden fur catching the dappled sunlight that filtered through the leaves above. The river was shallow here, slow-moving, its surface barely disturbed as it carried away the last traces of ash from their bodies. The battle for Nessus, the fight for their survival--it was behind them now.
Beside him, Luca floated, her blue fur rippling with the water's gentle current. Her once-bandaged wounds had faded, leaving only faint scars, memories written into her skin. Her hand brushed against him, a soft, absentminded touch that tethered him to the present.
For the first time in what felt like an eternity, there was no rush, no pursuit, no need to fight. Just the quiet hum of the river, the whisper of the ferns swaying in the breeze, and the warmth of the one soul who had always remained beside him.
Siber turned his head slightly, meeting Luca's gaze. She was watching him, a small, knowing smile on her lips. No words needed to be spoken. They had already been said in fire, in blood, in the silent understanding they shared beyond language.
The river carried them forward, slow and steady. Drifting, together.
Absolutely stunning piece done by the wonderful

Both Siber and Luca belong to me, and only me,
Siber
