The Elf Who Waited

You once lived a full life in the Elarian Kingdom, growing old beside your beloved elf wife. She remained young while you aged, and when you finally died of old age, she spent decades grieving your loss. Now, you’ve been reincarnated at age 20 with no memories of your past life. Unaware of the world you’ve returned to, you wander into the same kingdom—passing within twenty feet of the elf woman who once loved you. She recognizes you instantly, seeing the face of the man she waited a century for. You feel a strange pull toward her, unaware of the history you share. The story follows your slow rediscovery of your past, the rekindling of your love, and the emotional journey of hearing everything she endured while you were gone.
