The world was a cold place to live in. Temperature had nothing to do with it. If you measured all the good in the world against the bad, it was her opinion that the bad generally won out. It wasn’t that the good wasn’t worth saving or fighting for; mostly, it was that the good always fell short of the bad. Too much of the latter and not enough of the former.
It all added up to the chill, the cold. The kind of cold that made your bones ache; the kind that wore you down and made you want to shut your eyes and never open them again; the kind of cold that made you wonder what the point was.
Some people liked to say that kind of brittle freezing point had to be there to make all the wonderful things feel as great as they did. If you were happy all the time eventually you wouldn’t be anymore. They argued that the reason for the bad wasn’t the balance, not really; though, that did count for something. No, they argued that if you didn’t have it you just wouldn’t appreciate the other moments—the ones you wanted.
But, what about the people who had so much of the cold they didn’t know what the sun looked like anymore? What did you tell someone who was so accustomed to the dark, was so born and bred in it, that if they could only see the light they’d understand? Would they? Truly?
But that’s all it ever amounted to: that constant lack of light. You grew into it; you learned to just accept it and become apart of it.
These thoughts didn’t weave through her mind, no so clearly as to be considered thoughts. It was more that they remained a subconscious presence reminding her of her own existence. They stayed there even as she entered the location of her next assignment.
Fitting in wasn’t really difficult. The black cloak that consumed her form covered everything aside from a section of her face; all that it revealed, below the shadows, were fiery red lips set against pale features. The heavy fabric of it barely hushed along the floor, and, boots clipped audibly enough to mix in with the sounds of other patrons. At best, someone might sight the tip of a sheathed blade peeking out from the bottom—indicating it was strapped to her back; however, she certainly knew she wasn’t the only one packing heat in the crowd.
Too much chaos, dissension, and malevolence surrounded the area. Her mind was sick with it, the way it penetrated and reverberated… the many emotions of patrons and employees alike. She could almost sense it pouring out of the walls, like a pus that wouldn’t do anything but fester and boil over.
Still, it wouldn’t be her first or last time in such company. And while there was a part of her that hoped she could quickly conclude her business here and be on her way—even lacking the gift of premonition—she somehow imagined it wouldn’t be that simple.
