softly do mara's hands settle on the other girl's shoulders, expression kind — eyes shine like the stars that now fill the sky, her smile full of soft adoration. "I am so proud of you." a whisper carried in the breeze, gentle and meant only for adora to hear.

A world saved-- the Heart stopped and life spread across Etheria once more, it worked. Every ounce of pressure that has weighed on Adora’s shoulders since she gripped the hilt of an unfamiliar sword in the woods, it’s replaced with the gentle touch of Mara’s fingers against them, her own lips tugging upwards into a w a r m smile. Finally, she isn’t overwhelmingly confused and lost. Not burdened by a destiny or the knowledge that she had to SACRIFICE HERSELF to save everything-- she’d been willing before, but...that was never what she wanted. Memories of darkness pulling her closer, body weak as the magic surged through her veins-- but she was pulled from it. This time...she gets to choose for herself and the world.
The feeling of warmth spreads to her chest as well, her gaze shining like Mara’s as she fully comes to terms with what this means. Everyone is at peace, and everything Mara sacrificed...it was never in vain. “Thank you, Mara.” Her voice comes out light, and somehow...somewhere, Adora hopes that Mara knows. That she can feel how it all ended.
“For everything.”
