… my whole sky craves an island of tenderness. My rivers tilt towards you.

Marina Tsvetaeva, from “My ear attends to you,“ in Selected Poems, translated by Elaine Feinstein (Penguin Classics, 1994)

           ❛  I am indeed. Have you had the chance to visit? It’s a lovely place during spring; flower petals tend to fall in the waters and make quite the breathtaking spectacle from beneath.  ❜

He is haunted by the thorns he left behind, ascendance without divinity a fate willingly chosen for such is the way of the martyr ( more scapegoat than saint, driven to sacrifice by a king who cared not for ruinful consequences and a princess whose ire outmatched that of the gods ), but a world without war is a world worth dying for. His life is but a small price to pay. 

Bittersweet regret sits heavy on his tongue still, and it swells with each unspoken apology ( this is not her battle as it is the remains of his failed duty, it is not her suffering to take but his he failed to seal, and he should have been there, should be there, shielding her from harm, protecting their sea, holding her hand as she grew instead of being a portrait in her home and old tales from people who spoke grandly of a sorcerer’s achievements and little of the man beneath the cape---  ), but he swallows his remorse with ease ( it’s not the first time ).

Perhaps it is selfish of him to ask this of her. He is in little position to change the world he is no longer part of, after all, but he has ruefully passed the baton, and so this is now her war to win.
