One moonlight night, Rahul found Aria atop the waterfall cliffs. her aura shimmered strangely. She revealed her own secret- she was once part of the Eternal Flame Sect, taken in as a child, but had fled when she learned of their dark deeds.
She had never told anyone. But she trusted rahul.
Rather than push her away, Rahul reached out. "The past is not who you now,"he said.
They kissed under the silver sky, hearts bound not by fate, but by choice. That night, Rahul swore silently once more- not just to protect Aria, but to stop the cult that had once hurt both of them.
