Summary: The water rained down on him


The water rained down on him, warm, dappling and then soaking through his robes. As the water hit his skin, he felt a tingling sensation flow through him. It increased, filling him with a warm comfort that he hadn't felt in years. This wasn't the comfort of doing what you wanted, or what you thought was right. This was the comfort of being surrounded by love. It was something he only barely remembered, but as the rain fell, the memories came sliding back. Arms, breath, heat on his cheek.

Rain on his hand.

As the memories ebbed, he looked down, stretching fingers that he had barely moved in years. The black curse was gone, cleansed by the rain. And in that instant, in that one instant, he was finally free. He was purified, absolved of his mistakes. His sin was washed clean.

Leaving only warmth.
