I was taken aback by the truth of her words. They made me feel incredibly small. I wasn't wise. Wisdom was learned. It didn't matter how much I knew. It didn't matter how many books I'd read, or who I learned from. I didn't even matter what I was. Even immortality was humbled by life experience. Four years of studying, learning, asking questions and searching for answers; developing regions of my mind untouched by man-was melted away in the face of fourteen years of humanity.

Reed had lived her life. She unconsciously observed human behavior and adapted it. She had developed opinions and made decisions based around her own mistakes. She learned firsthand right from wrong in a simple world with backwards priorities- and managed to break herself apart from the mainstream.

She had made the conscious decision to be different. I had no choice. She was far more remarkable than I. The hours that I had spent thinking about myself; the days I'd spent wallowing in self-pity-were a selfish use of my time.

Reed had lived for others, and her life had a purpose. My life had no purpose until this moment. I now realized that I was born to protect she who would touch the lives of so many. The whole world was far less significant than the girl standing in front of me. Without her, my life had no meaning. I felt my grip on myself slipping. I could never let anything hurt her. She was to be preserved at all costs. Not just for her own good, but for the good of many. I had a brief glimpse into the future. If she didn't live, I knew that many would die. I felt a white light began to consume me, slowly but surely.

While my subconscious registered this, I stared into the beautiful teal eyes of my universe. How had I been so blind before? My life meant nothing, and the lives of even those closest to me meant little. Love was absolutely an understatement. I was done with selfish thoughts. Everything I would do, I would do for her. The light was paralyzing me, creeping its way up my body. I clutched onto humanity as I had so many times before, but this time it was to keep myself from falling into the gaping hole opening beneath me.

I was unaware that I had stopped breathing. The last image that filled my mind was the angel face of my imprint. Then the light spread to my eyes, blinding me, and I let go.
