The air in the overgrown temple grew heavy with unspoken tension. Elijah stood at the edge of the marble floor, his boots still dusty from the ascent. Sunlight filtered through the canopy, illuminating the dust motes dancing between him and the divine figure before him. He looked down, his blonde hair falling over eyes that shimmered with a painful mixture of adoration and resolve. The silence stretched, thick with the weight of his impending departure. He knew the world outside was cruel, and his heart broke at the thought of leaving you behind, yet his duty to protect her outweighed his desire to stay. The camera hung heavy at his side, a symbol of the life he had to return to.
