Aye…” she managed to whisper in response once he got the last of it out. “Aye.” She caressed one last time, pressed her lips to his cheek, knowing what was coming. Even so, when he was ripped from her she cried out, fists slammed against the bark as she screamed. Over and over, vibrations of emotion wrought through it. She knew it was no use, understood what had to be done. And yet, the mind and heart were two entirely different mechanisms; rarely ever did they agree.
And so that body went limp as well, curing into itself. Her hands slid down the bark. Her forehead moved to rest against it.
One day… her mind echoed in the dreamscape. “One day…” she repeated aloud, promising again in two voices still. For a time she stayed like that, not attempting just yet to get control of herself. Crying, grieving, aching for all that was always denied to her over and over again: family, happiness, freedom.
In the meadow just beyond the shadowed body of the willow tree, the great beast of a dragon faltered out of sight. In place of that after image, a pool of power she’d called on, he appeared as Dragoon addressed him: all silver scales and long white hair.
He said nothing as he took the note. He moved to open it and then hesitated. As cold blues start down at the seal he realized was not merely a matter of privacy. Knowing the contents now, in this dreamscape, could have consequences. “I will give it to her,” he said, looking back at her briefly. “Fare thee well,” he told Dragoon before evaporating entirely.
When she straightened finally, red orbs still opening, she was left staring at the bark once more. Eventually, she allowed her body to drop to the ground, to the base of the tree—his. And in that moment she felt the connection evaporating. The glow was already leaving her, and, her body—like the toxin that had once been present—was fading from sight.
Gone.
When she was finally back to herself, the link broken, blood red orbs opened with a snap and a deep inhale was taken. What… Somewhere between the fight she had lost herself… and yet, she could feel that she had been successful. It was done, it was done and it was only a matter of time before things got worse. Tarrying would do her no good. She would think on the memory loss later. For now…
The barrier surrounded her shattered as she stood. She grabbed her weapon, the one she’d lodged in the ground, as she dashed forward towards him. Now was the time, she told herself as she slid to a halt next to him. One gloved hand reached out, palm open above the eye. Her ability reached towards it, latching on under flesh, leather, and bone. It shot to her hand then, striking out and ripping a hole in the jacket. Leather covered digits coiled around it before she pocketed it into a pouch on her hip, one hooked on a slung leather belt.
A single exhale was released, a great pressure gone—for now. Her duty was done. She turned to go, and yet… something prickled at her senses. Something that made her look down at his kneeling and overtaxed form.
It wasn’t in her the hesitate. Not at all. And yet, she couldn’t say anything to him just then. Why wasn’t she moving? Why wasn’t she fleeing? Leaving him here?
