Holdan Christian launched his sight far ahead; he had still the heart beating quite fast and, thru a very small door, at the left side, Ariel’s silhouette appeared, not too far from him.
At that very moment, Holdan felt his own soul growing more hush and calm, just by looking at her there; even she had left the gates by the moment when she saw him coming up, even he was breaking the Abbey rules and he had come on in forbidden rooms. The sight of the woman, who was his dearest soul, was like the stillness after a huge storm upon him.

Ariel looked at him, far away, fearful… Her certainty was kind of weird. Just like in the oak fields, days ago, she had felt the presence of Holdan and she could divine and foresee his steps before he had come up. She cried for her own feeling. It was love, for sure. And that could get her in despair.

___ Don’t ask me about how have I come on in the Sister’s wing, nor ask me to leave… - Holdan came near Ariel and he touched her face - I do ask you… Please, cease your tears… There is no fear in my heart, I’m not afraid of anything but this sadness and anguish that I may see in your eyes, in your movements… I’m back from a long ride, from where I had the memory of you only to make me a faithful company and, from you, I don’t want to be apart, never; I can’t, it’s not right for me to keep on living a life that was my lonely and weird fate, as long as I own that life no more. My soul is whole brand new, and it is only because of you, dear creature, who took the pain away from me and who made grow up a certainty so strong; so beautiful and living certainty. Now, I belong to you and I ought to be with you only for me to know from the life its gifts, its truth, its essence; the most rare essence that exists in living, the supreme gift that exists on this life. Say it, tell me… - Holdan took her hands between his own and Ariel felt her own body so light as he kept on saying, the emotion was so strong that could almost took his words away - Tell me if don’t you feel it too, now; tell me if don’t you recognize this gift… just say no, and I may leave you without another word else, and thus it’ll be me an eternal captive from the shadows of a unknown feeling; an everlasting sad being who will be able to know not even a thing about life but the own pain of harvesting from the love its sharp ingratitude.

How can be such the Love… When it’s allowed and housed inside the beloved one, it changes the visages, the soul and body of the ones who are touched by that Love.

There was so much beauty and caress inside the eyes of Holdan that his face could get so illuminated before Ariel, who could have Holdan inside like her dearest feelings too. A warm and true feeling, which had never appeared inside her heart, thus she tried to deny it, she could not believe that for real.

But now, she could not doubt anymore.

___ Deny it? How could I?…. - Ariel touched his face too, she was so sure about her own feelings that she could feel like being just a soul from that moment on, without weight, without guilt feelings… she was only that Love - I knew you before I could have the chance to have your presence by my side. You say to me about you only with your soul. I’m more than aware of that feeling too, and I can see it, touch it, whenever I touch you, whenever I see your face, whenever I hear your voice, your music; whenever I foresee your sol by my own being. You are my only and true feeling of Love.

Holdan took both of Ariel’s hands again, he brought them near his face and kissed them tender and with gentleness.

___ I don’t believe such happiness is only of this world… "
