Sedah had been bored now that Arthur had gone. He had his hands behind his head as he lay on the floor of the cave.
"Wonder how Arthur's doing. Hope he's doing well. When's he coming back? Ahhh! I'm so bored. Goddamnit." Sedah had stared blankly at the ceiling of the cave. "I really have to find a hobby or something," he thought to himself.
"I know! I'll go back to sleep." Sedah was hopeless without Arthur...
His mind drifted off to sleep.
"Lyanna...Lyanna.."

Sedah's past,
A plain of flowers somewhere near Sedah's home village
"Sedah! Sedah!" Lyanna was holding Sedah's hand, pulling him along across a field full of bright-coloured flowers that had just bloomed.
"Sedah! It's spring! The flowers are pretty, aren't they?" Lyanna had a wide grin on her face. Sedah looked at Lyanna, matching her smile.
"They sure are, but they don't compare to you." He always looked at Lyanna, allured by her. She then let go of her hand, turning to Sedah. Her cheeks were now rosy.
"I can't wait for our wedding day! Just think about it: our wedding is going to be right here, a day from now! It's getting me excited!" She collapsed flat on her back, now covered in flowers, stretching her legs and arms out. Sedah had joined her, lying on his back.
"Sedah, do you have a name for our future child?"
"Child? Just one?" He replied playfully.
Lyanna had cuddled next to him. "Then have you thought of any names for our future children?" She asked, digging her face into Sedah's chest, a little embarrassed.
"Children, huh? If we have a daughter, I'd like her to be called Serah, maybe? I like that name and it's quite close to mine."
"Ah! I like it! What about a boy?"
"A boy...no, I haven't thought of one yet. Got any suggestions?"
"Mhm! Arthur! I'd name him Arthur."
"Arthur, huh...isn't that a bit boring?"
"Haaaah! It ain't borin' at all!" She grabbed a bunch of flowers and threw them at Sedah's face.
"Ok! Ok! It's not boring at all. If it's a boy we'll call it...Arthur. But if it's a girl, Serah. Deal?"
"Deal! We'll both get what we want anyway, since we're gonna be having more than one."
"If you keep on saying stuff like that I won't be able to control myself, Lyanna."
"Just wait one more day, and we'll be married...weirdo!" She had a big grin on her face, giggling and kicking her feet.
"I love you Lyanna!"
"I know. I love you too!"
A day had passed, and the wedding ceremony had taken place. Lyanna's mother and father were there, of course. Everyone from the village had come to attend their wedding as well. They were both beloved by the village. Lyanna had been walked down by her father.
"You've grown so much Lyanna!" Her father had tears in her eyes as he gave her away to Sedah. "Now you listen to me! You'd better take care of Lyanna. If you ever hurt her in any way I'll kill you. Don't even think about calling me father as well; you're still too weak." He pointed at Sedah, ranting on and on. Lyanna's father sighed and then placed his hand on Sedah's shoulder, "I'm certain Lyanna will be happy with you so thank you." He walked down and sat next to his wife, who had a tear in her eye.
"Sedahh! Give me lots of grandchildren! You got that?!" Lyanna's mother shouted at the top of her lungs.
Lyanna became red in the face. "Mother, stop embarrassing me!" She clutched tighrer onto her bouquet of colourful flowers.
Lyanna wore a beautiful white wedding dress as well as white gloves. A veil covered her face, hiding her slightly flushed cheeks and her eyes bright, glowing eyes. She also wore a golden necklace, given to her by Sedah as a gift. Sedah was fitted with a fancy-looking black suit, which was given to him by none other than Lyanna's father. He claimed to have gotten it from the capital a while ago.
On this wedding day, the skies were a clear blue and the sun brightly shone on this special day, to both of them, it was nothing short of perfect.
"I will!" Sedah shouted back.
She sighed with a huge smile on her face, "Not you too Sedah..."
They both then stepped onto the slightly raised platform and turned to face one another, hands entwined. Sedah gently lifted Lyanna's pristine veil and stared at her unveiled face, utterly awestruck. For a moment, his breath caught in his throat.
He hesitated, struggling to find the right words.
"L-Lyanna… the day I first met you, I was covered in dirt. You were too. Even then, I couldn't stop staring at you. We talked, and before I knew it, time had slipped away. It was because of you that I learned what love truly was. Once, you told me it was fate that brought us together. I didn't believe you then… but standing here now, looking at you, I can't think of any other explanation. If it wasn't fated for us to meet, then what else could it have been? Lyanna...will you marry m–"
Lyanna had then interrupted Sedah with a deep, fervent kiss. She had wrapped her arms around Sedah's neck. Sedah had placed his hands on Lyanna's hips.
"Oh, my~" Lyanna's mother had tilted her head, resting it on her open palm.
Lyanna had slowly pulled back while placing her hands behind her back leaning a tiny bit forward.
"Of course I'll marry you, dummy!" She exclaimed while still keeping the same huge smile.
The villagers watching had stood up, cheering at the new wedding couple.
"Let's go to our new house, Lyanna." Both had walked together arm in arm. They both walked inside. It was a simple home.
It had enough space to create a family. They both entered their bedroom. "I wuv you..." Lyanna had whispered in his ears, interlocking her fingers with Sedah's. Sedah couldn't control himself anymore, pushing her down gently onto the bed.
"I love you too, Lyanna.."
A few days had then passed. Undoubtedly, one of the best few days of both Sedah and Lyanna's lives. Lyanna's mother along with the other villagers had wondered if they were ever going to come out of their newly made home. Eventually, they did come out.
"Where have you two been?" Lyanna's mother asked the two, who were holding hands. She then noticed small bite marks on Lyanna's neck. There were also scratch marks hidden on Sedah's back.
Sedah and Lyanna looked at each other. Their eyes then opened wide, and they quickly turned their heads away, trying not to make eye contact. They both became red in the face. Still, their hands were held together by one another.
"Oh, my~" Lyanna's mother knew what had happened. "Well, It's only natural~" She leant towards Lyanna's ear, "How was it Lyanna~?" She teasingly asked in a quiet whisper.
Lyanna tightly clutched Sedah's hand, "...I w-wuv him..." she said quietly, flustered at the countless hours of unforgettable memories she had just made with him.
