Xavin sighed. "My people and a neighboring planet were at war. to make peace, i was sent to find the daughter of a diplomat of the other world, on Earth, and bring her back to marry her."
Xavin smiled softly. "I found her, and we fell in love and went back to make peace, but things fell apart, and when the war seemed inevitable, we fled to Earth again. Over a year later, we learned that her parents had sold out their planet and that both planets were almost utterly destroyed. The remaining people of her world sent a task force to take her back, to stand trial in their place, and to be put to death. In order to spare her, I took her place, and was taken back to her world. The sentencing was swift and within days of my return, I will die."
She shook her head.
"I will not regret anything but not seeing her again."
