The magic sought to replace who I am with what magic lived in that dagger, but it didn’t work because you are more than memories, akrai. You are more than flesh and blood to me. You have imprinted on my very soul. My heart beats for you. I breathe for you, and there is no force, no magic in this world that could erase you from me. So there is no need to worry or be jealous ever. If I had found you first, there would have been no one else. No one to receive your jealousy or spark it. You are and will always be the ruin of me.”
