"Wha-!" she choked. {They are flowing in... Her... No... Our emotions... }

Rose shut her eyes painfully. 

-

"What is this...? Where... are you?"  she gasped as she noticed the sealing chains were gone.

"I am inside your body. We are becoming one. We are merging together. Our soul parts will be complete in no time... finally." an invisible voice spoke.

"...but what is this feeling? What are these emotions?!" 

"Isn't it obvious? I always..."

-

"Rose!" Urd called her consciousness back. 

"...Urgh... Urd? What is...!" she slowly sat up. {What was that?}

"Are you alright? You suddenly started tossing and gasping," he said in his usual cold attire. She didn't respond right away as she glanced to her chained wrists and feet.

"Again? I had enough of this. Can you unbind these please?" she asked calmly as his look became slightly nervous. "It's alright, I am quite sane right now." She felt his stare intensify. "What is wrong?"

"You do realize that your hair is completely white and your eyes blood-red?" 

"Huh? Wha-?" she faced the mirror beside her in shock. "I look like... her?!"

"Her?" he repeated, "Who is 'her'?" he demanded.

"I dont need to hide it anymore. I may have confused you with what I said." she gazed down "We are the same coin from other sides. We were separated when my mother tried to save me back then." 

"If you are one, why are you that different?" he didn't break his stare.

"When we were separated, our soul was divided. However, I think I start to realize the real reason for her personality," she rested her hand on her chest "I never thought about it. Imagine being tied to a single spot for an eternity, never being able to do anything and always feeling... hungry." her hands reached out to Urd clinging onto him "I can't stand these feelings of loneliness and anger but I have to. I can't turn back. I will become somebody else by tomorrow and I might be scared."

Urd hugged her tight "Dont be afraid. I will be here... with you. So dont worry." she broke the embrace.

"Thank you... but what I fear is that my real self will be bitter and cold. That I will not feel anything anymore. That I might forget you," she muttered sorrowfully.

"Even if you do... I would love to remind you," he reassured, earning a faint smile from her.

Awhile later, Rose lied down, starting to gaze at the ceiling, as Urd left the room. She closed her sleepy eyes and once again entered the realm of her soul.

-

She wandered noiselessly through the red space, without reason nor goal when everything turned dark. 

"Goodbye"

-

Urd returned shortly, checking on Rose's condition. The moment he entered the room he felt an ominous aura escape the white-haired. A strange light enveloped her as a blood-red orb left her chest. He wanted to step closer when the ball began to shatter. 

"Rose!" 

"No one knows your truth but you. If you're secure in yourself, no one and nothing can touch you."
