Marcus could feel the disease coming off of her and sighed, "I came to apologize", he said as he felt his eyes swelling up a bit. He started to walk towards her, step by step, until he was only a few feet away. "Avarael...I love you. I still love you and I always will", he said looking to the ground. "You are the only thing that matters to me", he said. He reached his hand into his opposite arm and pulled out the knife, holding it pointed to the ground. He didn't know if anyone had seen it but he snapped his fingers and a bubble, like before, came around them.<br/><br/>He tossed the knife to the ground, close to her feet and fell to his knees. "Please...kill me", he said as tears started to move down his face. "I can't stand living anymore. I lost you so long ago and it's destroyed me every single day. You were the only thing that lit up my life, the only thing that made me hope for our love", he said as his tears fell to the ground in front of him. "I ask you to kill me because it's the  only thing that will make the pain of living without you go away", he said as he lifted his chest up for her to stab him.<br/><br/>He brought his hand into his other one and moved the ring off, "Do with this what you want", he said tossing it by the knife. It still had the inscription in tact, he'd carved it himself. "Avarael, nothing in any world will make my love for you die", he said, he hadn't read the inscription for almost a hundred years yet still held it his heart.
