Eternal Flame

The way eternal life is portrayed feels both romantic and tragic. I wonder if the author drew from mythology, personal beliefs, or something else entirely.

The emotional depth made me root for the characters, but the sacrifices they faced added a layer of melancholy. How did others interpret their relationship's stakes?

The magic and supernatural aspects felt seamlessly woven into the characters' growth, but I’m curious if that was a conscious choice from the start or evolved during writing.
