1. I love her.
"How can I save her? I've gathered the five Sacred stones and mastered the Sword Arts. I've been here for three months! Can't i go to the Forbidden Fortress to save her?" The Knight, Keith, questioned the wizard.
The Wizard looked at him with wise eyes. He raised his eyebrow and opened his mouth:
"You have followed every word i have said. And i think, you're ready. Are you? Do you want to do this? The chances are you're not coming back." he said.
"I don't care. Wise Wizard, I love her. I love Elise. She's my life. Without her, i'd rather to cease breathing." Keith replied.
"Very well. This is the map you're going to need. The Forbidden Fortress is right in the middle of the Enchanted Forest. I wish you all the best." The Wizard opened the map, stood up and handed it over to Keith.

2. I'm coming for you.
The sun rises and it sets. After 5 suns, Keith finally saw the foot of the castle he had been searching for. He had been through a lot--captured a few pixies, killed an ogre and almost poisoned by some unfamiliar fruit. The moon was full tonight. It reminded him of Elise--they would often watch the moon in their porch.
"I miss her. I miss our house. I miss our street. I miss TV. I miss my IPhone. I miss the toilet and its seat. I miss our hot shower. I miss my world." he thought to himself.
"I've been here for three months! It's been so long. Everything seems like it's from a fairytale. Elise being trapped in a castle. Me? A knight?" he chuckled and later on slept with the thoughts of Elise.
.........................................................................................................
The following day, he ventured into the castle. Thick thorny vines crawling up upon the walls. Stone statues who seem to have succumbed to green moss. It was a dreadful place to be in.
But alas! He hears some singing...
"I love you more today than yesterdayyy...."
That sweet voice was Elise's! It was the song playing while they were dancing at prom. It, too, was the song playing at their dance at the reception of their wedding.
"Sweet sweet Elise, i'm coming for you." he thought.
He broke all the Magic Seals, defeated the sleeping monsters and even got some treasures.
He saw the door on the topmost floor. He could hear her. He could feel her.
Keith held the metal knob of the huge wooden door.
"But not as much as tomorrow..." she kept singing.
He opened the door. There she was. She was staring out the window and turned around to face him. She smiled. So sweetly.
He walked slowly towards her. Time seemed to stop when he was with her.
She held out her hand.
He was reaching for it.
He smiled.
She smiled.
He shed a tear.
She was shedding a lot.
"I'll save you." he said.
"I'll save you." she said.
Then everything went black.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. I'll save you.
It was a white hospital room where the local business man, Keith was kept. There were a lot of instruments inside the room.
The door opened, his wife Elise and a doctor went in.
"Is he coming back?" she asked the doctor.
"The chances are he's not coming back. He's been in comatose for three months, if you pull the plug, i believe he won't make it through. It could be instant death." the doctor replied.
"He must be in so much emptiness." she uttered.
"Are you sure you're cutting life supply?" the doctor asked again.
"Yes. Could you leave us alone for a few minutes?" she made her decision. It was too much--the pain, the bills, everything. The doctor went out.
...............................................................................................
"I love you honey. I didn't mean for the accident to happen." she sobbed right beside him.
She began to sing. "I love you more today than yesterday..." she was holding his hand.
"I can't stand seeing you like this. Isn't painful? What does it feel like? Can we make it? I don't know. You can't answer me. The doctors can't.
I'm so sorry." she had the room to herself and it was the few minutes before Keith died, she didn't want to hold back.
....................................................................................................
She called the doctor. It was time.
She held Keith's hand.
3...2.......1...
At that final second---
She was in tears.
Keith seemed like he shed a tear.
She felt Keith's hand tighten onto her hold.
She saw him moving his lips.
"I'll save you."
BBBBBBBBBEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP.
One machine went. The crests and troughs it displayed became just a flat line. The doctor had pulled the plug.
The chances are he's not coming back.
