    As the rain poured down on her and her daughter, standing at her husband's grave, the words of the strange man in black shook her to her core.

    -What if she could bring her husband back? I could do that in exchange for something.

    Reuniting with her beloved seemed impossible, but doubt gripped her.

    What price would she have to pay to get her family back?

    That night, storm winds howled as shadows gathered in her dreams.

    Visions of the future danced with lightning: a happy reunion, but a looming darkness followed close behind.

    With his hands clutching memories of happier times, he knew that this path carried great risks.

    In the morning, an answer formed. Though it pained him to embrace his love once more, some roads lead not to salvation, but to realms best left unseen.

    With his daughter's hand in his, he walked into the sunlight and let fate sleep in the grave.
