It's been 84 years :'v actually it's been 5 months. I have been working non-stop every day trying to overcome an economic crisis that has almost left me homeless, so I was tired or working all the time. Fortunately I was able to stabilize my life and I already have a little time to write.

So I'm going to start updating my fics little by little. Starting by posting the final episode of this fic, chapter that was actually written since last year but it was written in spanish and I had not had time to translate it, so you can see how busy I was.

That said, if there is someone still Reading this, I hope you still give this story a chance and I am so sorry for leaving the fic unfinished for so many months. That said, enjoy:

"Help!" Seth screamed in fear. He didn't know what to do. Whether to remove the sword or not.

"What the hell have you done?" AJ shouted angrily.

AJ took out his sword and walked right to the refugee who was like paralyzed watching with horror what he had done. Roman took AJ's ankle and stopped him to reach the man. A group of villagers and soldiers heard the noise and approached. Cesaro and John as well as the girls and Dean were close now. Everyone watching in horror as things had twisted in this way.

"Don't do it, this must end." Roman could hardly speak. "This was his revenge for the evil I caused him, and if you or someone else continues this cycle, it will never end. Don't kill him, now he is in my place, he became a murderer. I can't let you become one too, you must take care of Seth."

Seth cried hugging the weak body of his beloved Roman, who was bathed in his blood.

"Nobody else is going to take care of me, only you."

Cesaro approached Roman and took him to the healer, Seth followed them closely. John tied the refugee and as Roman asked he was not killed.

At that time, the royal caravan reached the mountain. King Goldberg and several soldiers saw Cesaro carrying Roman's body. The healer tried to stop the bleeding, but the cut was very sharp and had compromised several vital organs.

"It's not fair, you cannot leave me here, Roman, don't leave me, please!" Seth sobbed, hugging the body of his beloved Roman who was lying on a bed.

"All I wanted was to have you, all I wanted was to save you, so that's why when I thought I would die because of the plague, I sent you with AJ. In the end, life made me pay for my crimes and I'm going to die the same way I killed hundreds of innocent people. It's poetic justice Sethie, but I'm satisfied with the time I had you in my life." Roman said agonizingly. "Maybe now you don't see it but you will have a happy life."

"I won't be happy, without you I won't! I want to die with you." Seth cried inconsolably.

"No, Seth, you will live, AJ will take care of you." Roman said and looked at AJ. "Take care of him, don't let him do anything stupid, for the second time I'll leave Seth in your care."

"You don't need to ask me that." AJ said with sadness. "I'm always going to protect him."

"You cannot leave me!" Seth said with frustration and pain. "You're not a coward and you're not going to die here. Maybe now you want to give up. Maybe you think this is the way to expiate your guilt, but it's not like that. You already atoned for your sins when you saved the whole village, if you give up now, you'll be killing me too. Do you want that?"

"Never. I love you, Sethie."

Roman looked at Seth intensely. This boy had changed his life. Seth taught him to love even against his own prejudices. He taught him to fight for a fair cause and made him want to be better.

"If you give up, Eva will win." Seth looked at him with intensity. "And not only that, if you give up, hatred will also win because that will destroy everything that made you love me because I am also going to want revenge."

Roman was in shock. He didn't want that, he didn't want anything or anyone to change the stubborn boy he fell in love with.

"Do you want redemption? The burden of your sins is so heavy that you think that dying the same way you murdered many people is the right way." Seth stroked the face of the man he loved. "It is not, these people have seen what hatred does, they have also witnessed what love can do. You are going to redeem yourself but not through death, you are going to redeem yourself for love. I am your redemption Roman Reigns, you cannot leave me."

…

The morning came and, in the light of day, the soldiers began to think about their departure. King Goldberg was supervising the place. There was a lot to do here.

"We are going to get those minerals out of this mountain or you will be harassed forever." King Goldberg said. "In return we will rebuild this city, create an adequate water system and build a school. AJ, you can continue being the leader of this place, we need to make a census so that you can be part of Mira."

The refugee who attacked Roman was tied in Cesaro's carriage.

"What shall we do with the prisoner?" Cesaro asked.

"He will be sentenced to death in Mira." Goldberg replied.

At that moment Seth approached them.

"You're not going to do that, I'd like him to be exiled, but don't kill him. Roman said that this had to end, and I want it to end. No more revenge, just look around, all these deaths, this war, everything happened for revenge."

"Seth has forgiven you." Cesaro said even if it was obvious he was angry.

The refugee looked at Seth with tears in his eyes. "I wanted to spill the murderer's blood, only to realize that the murderer no longer exists."

Everyone was listening carefully.

"I shed the blood of the man who saved this village. You changed Roman and he now forgave my life. Now he is the hero and I am the murderer."

An old woman spoke. "Roman expiated his sins, this was unnecessary."

"And even with that… I am going to lose him." Seth said in pain. "This is what hatred does: death and destruction. I hope that those who still want revenge against Roman feel satisfied."

"What are you talking about?" Another of his neighbors asked.

"I've been taking care of Roman all night and he's getting worse. He's going to die, he's not even fighting to live, maybe he thinks that by dying he is going to atone for his faults." Seth explained.

The villagers looked at one another in dismay.

"Seth we're so sorry." One of them said. "You were the only one able to make Roman Reigns change, you turned the murderer into a hero and that's what made Roman love you, your love saved the village."

"And hatred destroyed all that." Several tears were rolling down Seth's cheeks.

"I hope your soul finds relief boy." The old woman said sadly.

"I will only find relief with Roman, wherever he goes, I will follow him." Seth sentenced before the stunned look of everyone. "Hate will kill both of us."

"Seth..." AJ was terrified by the words of the young peasant.

Seth had an empty look, as if something was dying inside him. Seth ran back to the hut where the healer was trying to save Roman.

"If Roman does not survive, there will be an even bigger tragedy here." Cesaro said sadly.

"I will not allow it." AJ assured.

"You have no control over that boy." Cesaro sentenced.

AJ didn't want to admit it but Tony was right. Seth's fate was tied to an agonizing Roman.

"But I have control over the people in this village." AJ looked at his fellow citizens with authority. "If the guilt is waht's killing Roman, I'm going to fix that."

…

"I can hear the voices of all those I murdered crying out for justice, I'm going to pay for my crimes." Roman said looking around, it was a dark and cold place. He felt physically and spiritually tired. "The man who stabbed me was right."

"He's wrong."

Roman saw Mary, the woman who raised him and the only mother figure he had in his life, in front of him. Roman looked around and there was nothing but loneliness and emptiness, it was just him and Mary.

"Mary, forgive me, I could not save you." Roman approached her.

She smiled tenderly. "There is too much guilt in your heart, my death was not caused by you, it was her."

"I know but I could not protect you and I'm scared. I'm scared to think I won't be able to protect him." And for the first time, Roman was weak, like a lost child.

Mary embraced him with love. "But you will, the love that kid feels for you is your redemption. Why can't you see it?"

"His love made me change but it's not enough," Roman explained to the woman, letting himself be protected by her. "I destroyed the lives of so many people… and having happiness in my hands just to be taken away in this way, made me realize..."

Roman paused and sighed.

"There will always be someone waiting to get revenge on me, just like that man did, and one of those people could hurt him. This is what loving me would give to his life, to live constantly in fear because of my horrible past. Seth deserves something better. In the end, Eva won."

"She will win if you don't return to him." Mary said with concern.

"Loving me will be Seth's disgrace and I can't be that selfish. I was already selfish with him when I made him my slave."

"You changed, you chose to lose him in order to save his life and you want to do it again, but that is not going to save him." Mary explained. "He loves you so much he will not be able to live without you."

Roman looked at the one who was like his mother. She smiled at him.

"Close your eyes and listen, listen to what they say, my child."

Roman heard murmurs, many voices.

"You don't owe us anything general Reigns."

"There is no longer any grudge or revenge, all this is wrong and we are going to correct it, and no one here is looking to take revenge on you."

More people repeated the same words.

"I cannot believe it's me who says this but..." That was a voice that Roman could recognize, it was AJ. "You were the enemy to defeat. I, just like many of us here, wanted to see you like this, but that changed. The love you feel for Seth changed you, everyone here have forgiven you and now you can redeem yourself taking care of the one who saved you and using your skills to protect others as you did in this war."

Roman was overwhelmed. He did not expect to hear such a thing. Roman then heard Seth's voice. It was a mixture of pain and anger. It was obvious that the boy was crying.

"You don't understand Roman, you don't owe anything to them anymore, nobody holds a grudge here, we've all forgiven you. Now, please forgive yourself."

Roman felt his heart speed up as he listened to Seth's words. They felt like a balm relieving his pain.

"In the end you got your goal, Roman, I am yours, my whole being is yours, so much that I cannot live without you. You must forgive yourself and come back to me, because if you don't, then I will go after you ."

Roman shook his head. Sometimes forgiving yourself was harder than getting someone else's forgiveness.

"Seth is right, he is my redemption... however, it is difficult to forgive myself when I remember all the atrocities that I committed."

"Seth will help you alleviate your guilt, go back to him and let love save you both... You heard him, that kid is lost without you... Let the love you feel save you as you saved the village."

Roman nodded and closed his eyes. He felt as if he had freed himself from a huge weight. His body ached, but the pain in his soul was healing.

He opened his eyes again and found himself lying on a small bed. He looked around and saw the mop of fluffy hair close to his lap.

Seth was sitting by his bed and had fallen asleep. Roman smiled. Love would save them both.

"Sethie, baby." Roman mumbled weakly.

A bewildered Seth raised his head almost immediately "Roman!"

Both looked at each other with longing. There were so many things they wanted to say. But their eyes shouted what their lips did not say due to the storm of emotions that overwhelmed them.

"I thought I was going to lose you." Finally Seth spoke.

"I am a warrior with a mission, Sethie. They will not defeat me so easily." Roman said softly.

"And what is that mission?" Several tears were rolling down Seth's cheeks.

"Take care of you." Roman said with a small smile. "You are the most valuable thing I have. You gave me the chance to be different. Seth, your love saved me and I am going to live to make up for my mistakes."

Seth smiled widely. "That's the right way to redeem yourself: living."

Seth softly kissed the lips of his wounded boyfriend.

"Oh, Roman, heroes are not only those who die for a noble cause, but also those who live for a noble cause."

Roman smiled and they both kissed again softly.

…

Two years later

After recovering from his wound. Roman and Seth went very far. They both traveled to many places and finally they could enjoy their love. During their journey Roman had the opportunity to help many people in trouble. And his reputation as a blood thirsty murderer changed. All thanks to the love he felt for Seth.

They were back on the mountain so that Seth could visit his friends. On this occasion they had found that everyone was getting ready for a big party because that night they would celebrate Charlotte's sweet sixteen. They were gathered at AJ's house.

"Wow, how much have you grown!" Seth approached the girls who screamed with happiness to see him. "It's amazing how beautiful you all are. I can't believe we're going to celebrate Charlotte's sweet sixteen."

Dean was there and smiled. "More incredible is that Charlotte and sweet are in the same sentence."

Charlotte kicked Dean in the crotch and he fell on the floor.

"You see she's not sweet." Dean complained.

At that moment AJ entered the house and ran to help Dean.

"Baby are you okay?" AJ cooed Dean with love.

Seth and Roman were puzzled

"But didn't you and Tony have something?" Roman could not help asking.

The girls rolled their eyes. Dean blushed and AJ pursed his lips.

"Tony is a jerk. Since the war ended, it was pretty obvious that he had a relationship with Dean, and this idiot was so in love with him." Charlotte said crudely earning a scolding look from Dean that she obviously ignored. "Then the bald asshole returned to Mira and two months later we learned that he was marrying Trish, King Goldberg's sister. Dean took it very badly but he finally accepted the reality. Shortly after his honeymoon, Cesaro returned to the mountain to propose to Dean to be his lover."

"What an asshole!" Seth said indignantly. "You hit him, Deano?"

Dean looked at the ground and AJ hugged him protectively.

"No, this moron accepted." Charlotte rolled her eyes.

"But then?" Seth didn't understand.

"We were lovers until I found out that Trish was pregnant." Dean admitted. "Then I broke with him."

"And how's that you and AJ?" Seth looked at his friend with empathy.

"I already had a good time interested in Dean but Tony had that weird hold on him." AJ admitted. "But when Dean was completely disappointed, I had my chance and we already have two months together."

"And I am very happy with AJ." Dean smiled.

"I'm going to kill Tony when I see him." Roman murmured.

"It won't be necessary." Charlotte smiled. "The bastard had the nerve to came here two weeks ago, looking for Dean of course and AJ gave him a lesson."

"I also have a hero." Dean smiled and kissed AJ.

Seth was happy. AJ deserved to be happy and having found happiness with Dean was something that made him even happier.

AJ's house was much bigger now, it was still on top of the mountain and had a huge backyard. There under the moonlight that shone beautiful that night, everyone celebrated Charlotte's sweet sixteen. Seth was happy talking to his neighbors and friends and Roman watched with joy as the boy he fell in love with, who changed his life and was his redemption from killer to hero, was laughing with those he considered his family.

"You should think about coming back here. I'm sure Seth misses everyone in the village," AJ told Roman.

Roman looked at him impassively. AJ smiled.

"You know I love Dean, so I'm not trying to get between you guys." AJ clarified.

Roman calmed down. "Yes, well I'll think about it."

Seth came running to Roman. "Romie, let's dance."

Roman sighed, dancing was not one of his favorite activities but he could not refuse. In fact, he could not refuse anything Seth asked to him.

They were both dancing under the moonlight.

"AJ told me that I should propose you live here. If you wish, we can try." Roman squeezed Seth's waist.

Seth smiled. "You'd have to put up with Dean being intrusive. The girls making a fuss all the time and Charlotte's sarcasm and lack of shame."

"You left everything to follow me, Seth. Now that we all live in peace, I will leave everything to be with you. Here or wherever you want."

Seth smiled. "Let's try it then. A domestic life in my village. I hope my intrepid general can adapt."

"As long as I have you with me I'll adapt to whatever it is." Roman smiled.

They both kissed listening to the soft music in the background.

"I wish I could get me a hero as handsome as Roman or AJ." Becky blinked watching the cute scene.

"You can't, heroes on this mountain like cock." Charlotte said without the slightest embarrassment. "You'll have to settle for a villager."

Seth let go of Roman and Dean started coughing because he was having a drink.

"Charlotte for the love of god." AJ complained.

Everyone started laughing.

"And what did I do?" The girl said innocently.

Dean started fighting with Charlotte as usual and AJ tried to control the situation, failing as usual. Seth was embarrassed and Roman sighed. This way began a new stage of their lives, better and he was getting used.

FIN

This is my second rolleigns completed yay! Hope you liked it. I wrote two posible endings for this fic: this one I posted, that was the happy ending and another one in which Roman died and it was all tragic, but finally I decided to post this because with all the time it took me to update, it wouldn't be fair togive you all a tragic end.

Have a nice weekend you all and if there is someone still Reading this fic, leave me a comment. Remember that English is not my native language and again apologies for my delay.

I LOVE YOU ALL!
