Aphmaus POV
I guess the thought of true love is enough for the magic but then I heard a voice.

"Aph?" Only...but he's...am I crazy? I turned around and Garroth was covered in ashes like me. He looked tired.

"...Garroth? Are you really here?"

"Yea where else would I be?" I ran over and hugged him. My arms around his neck and I felt the tears streaming down my face.

"I thought you were dead!"

He hugged my waist

"Not without your permission"

I laughed and whispered

"I love you"

I heard him whisper back

"I love you too" I pulled my head bck and we started kissing. I couldn't let him die without him knowing I love him. We seperated and looked into eachothers eyes.

"Now they'll have something to talk about" I laughed. Everyone came running out at Garroth.

"You're alive!!!"

"Now Runt won't be depressed!"

"What happened?"

"Where were you?"

We went inside and into the living room. Everyone sat down and I sat next to Garroth holding his hand.

"So what happened?" Dale asked

"Well the tree I was in caught on fire and I panicked and fell out hitting my head. The medical treatment I needed was in ScalesWind. It was a three day trip when I woke up I was all done with the treatment and started on my way back here. So that's why I was gone for six days"

"We thought you were dead especially Cheif she wouldn't eat or talk or move she just layed in bed and cried!"

Garroths POV
When I heard about Aph being like that I looked at her she was leaning on my shoulder.

"And what's this new thing?" Zenix said pointing to our hands

"Zenix I'm not going to have the chance of losing him without him knowing how I feel" she told him I smiled knowing how lucky I am. Everyone asked more questions and I answered them. But I was tired and wanted to spend some more time with Aph now that we're a couple.
