*Faye pursed her lips, running her fingers over the black stone in her hand. She stood before the fireplace and called out in a clear voice:*
"I summon you, Thanatos!"

*Death oozed out of the shadows, reconstituting into an inky form with a deep, rattling voice.*
"Who summons me to this place?"
*He turned and saw her, his form shrinking and his voice returning to normal. He approached her warmly, taking up her hands.*
"Oh, Faye! Forgive me, I didn't know it was you...is everything all right?"

*She giggled and nodded.*
"Everything's fine--I've made a decision..."
*She glanced up at him a little shyly.*
"I want to reincarnate...even if it means I'll lose my memory..."

*Death looked to her a bit confused.*
How did she know about that?
"But what about your beau?"

"This is the only way I can give him the happiness he deserves...the life I want to share with him," *she said with a sad kind of brave resignation.* "Just so long as he promises to find me."

*Death looked very grave. ((I can't believe I just typed that.))*
"Faye...there are no guarantees. Even if he does find you...without your memories... You may never get him back, much less what you have together."

*Her eyes filled with tears as she nodded, pale as a corpse.* ((Hey, two can play at that game.))
"I know," *she said.* "...but what have we got, as it is?It's not enough...it can never be enough...you know it's not enough!"

*Death did know. More than most in his profession. For Demiselle...what had he done...what had he sacrificed? What would he still? He grew quiet and nodded.*
"I...understand."
*He let out a great sigh.*
"When will you be ready for the rebirth?"

*Faye lifted her chin. It was now or never, before she lost her nerve.*
"I am ready," *she said.* "If you will go to Aimery and explain to him...he will know why...but just tell him to come and find me..."

Does he even know you're doing this?
*Death nodded, resigned.*
"Very well. I wish you both the very best of luck. You will need it for the path ahead."
*He took a step closer, wrapping a bony arm to catch her around the waist.*
"It was a great pleasure to know you Faye, I hope that you are so lovely in your next life. Now...close your eyes."

*Faye gave him a small smile and rested her head on Death's ribcage as her eyes drifted shut.*
I love you Aimery/

*Death lifted her chin with his other skeletal hand and kissed her sweet lips gently, pulling her soul into him...into the darkness. Her physical form faded, dissolving away ((like a Jedi or Mystic or something. With sparkles.)) His own form then melted eerily into a pool on the floor, passing her spirit on to the next world and back again, pressing it somewhere a bit more useful than the queue for rebirths. After all, what good would she be to her beau as a baby?*
I hope this helps, sweet child.
