A/N: Triple drabble.
Yesterday, Varian’s only thought was to guide his friends across this island to the east coast and Evoland, so that all of them could return to their own times, their homes, their families, but now… In the space of a few hours, everything had changed; he no longer wanted to be anywhere but right here, with Gwenith, to make his home with her, among her people.
He could only hope his friends would understand. He’d promised to help them get home, and to abandon them now would mean breaking that promise, and yet what else could he do? It wouldn’t be fair to expect Gwenith to leave her people, and the only home she’d ever known. Besides, she was a priestess, she had duties here, and he… Well, he could live anywhere, and there was nowhere he could possibly be happier than with the woman he loved.
His friends were all good, generous, caring people; how could they be less than happy for him? Oh, it would be sad to part from them, from Scott especially, since the boy had been the first to trust him and consider him a friend. Varian knew that Scott looked up to him almost as a surrogate father, an honour he probably didn’t deserve. He would miss them all, but the parting of the ways had been inevitable from the start. It was just that he’d found where he belonged a little sooner than expected.
For him to leave this place now was unthinkable, not when he’d found more happiness with Gwenith than he could ever have expected to find in his own time. A part of his heart would go with his friends when they continued their journey without him, but the rest belonged to the woman who was soon to be his wife.
The End
