venusadept_2Felix sees a realm full of grey mist.
He hears a sound behind him, and turns around. There is Sheba, just as he remembers her - but more, somehow. More complete, more Jupiter, more Sheba, than ever before; no longer the little girl she was in so many ways.
She opens her mouth, and begins to sing.
"How could I know I would have to leave you?
How could I know I would hurt you so?
You were the one I was born to love,
Oh, how could I ever know?
How could I ever know?"
"Sheba, I never -" he begins, but she cuts him off with an upraised hand.
"How can I say to go on without me?
How when I know you still need me so?
How can I say not to dream about me?
How could I ever know?
How could I ever know?" she continues.
"Forgive me, can you forgive me?
And hold me in your heart -
And find some new way to love me
Now that we're apart." Although she doesn't move, she seems to be more distant now, her hands on her chest.
"How could I know I would never hold you;
Never again in this world, but oh," she raises her arms as her hair and clothes move, although Felix doesn't feel any wind.
"Sure as you breathe I am there inside you
How could I ever know?
How could I ever know?"
She steps back, and gestures to Felix. Somehow, he knows that he needs to sing, and what words.
"How can I hope to go on without you?
How can I know where you'd have me go?
How can I bear not to dream about you?
How can I let you go?" His voice nearly cracks on the last word; how could he let go of her, of the memory of the pair of them?
"How could I ever know?" she returns, gently.
Felix tries a different tack.
"All I need -" he starts, but Sheba - still gentle, but also forceful - interrupts "- is there with our people." He knows what she means: the children he teaches, the crises he averts. Nevertheless, he continues:
"All I would ask -" Again he is cut off, and she finishes for him "- is care for the world that I loved."
She continues, "Come, go with me, safe I will keep you."
Giving in, he answers, "Where you would lead me, there I would-"
Smiling, she begins to sing at the same time - not interrupting, but joining: "There I would; there we would; there we will go!"
Somehow, by this point, they were holding each other's hands, crying but still singing. "How could I know?
Tell me, how could I know?
Ever to know you will never leave me -
How could we ever know?
How could we know?
How could I ever know?"
As the last note fades, Sheba begins to disappear as well. Felix reaches out, but she is gone. Felix is left with only her voice. "Felix... Don't live for me... Live for the world... For Alchemy..."
