Lucian strode in with his jacket trailing behind him. Marious opened the crypt chamber and lead the way to Her resting place. Sure enough she had moved. She was still a statue but after ten long years she finally started showing signs of life again. Marious left the chamber giving them valuable alone time. Lucian started into her eyes. Cold and stone like. " I missed you my love." He told her his heart aching with love. " the moment you became this I knew I would. I'm sorry that it has been so long since I last saw you." He said. She didn't move. Not that he expected her to. "I'm going through a rough time without you Maharet. Being immortal is not bearable without you." He walked closer to her seat and placed a hand gently on her face. He leaned in to place a kiss to her lips. Cold as stone but with a pulse. " Help me set you free." He began to weep and showered her stone like hand with his tears. The walls he put up around his heart over the years were beginning to crack. As the tears hit her hand the stone was giving way to skin. Lucian watched in shock as he mate came back from eternal slumber. She collapsed in his arms as breath began to fill her lungs and life began to pour back into her. He held her close. Relieved that she came back to him. Relieved that he finally had her back. He smiled and wept as he kissed her forehead. "welcome back my love."
