That shadowy form, coiled in the fetal position and floating, blanketed at in darkness beyond the abyssal barrier that he viewed them through… the combined sum of her locked memories, reached out and pressed against that barrier. The dragon behind her said nothing, more an after image than anything else. His light glowed, overshadowing her briefly, before leaving entirely—smiling sadly. And yet her fingers pressed—like a child try to reach that which she could not.
“Seph…” her voice whispered, echoing, before fading almost entirely into silence. And yet the form remained… like a painting on the wall—both a vivid reminder and a comforting support. As if all that she was before was now reflecting into him—connected more than she had been before the mark began to reappear on the other.
When the coat blanketed her she shifted, cringing once in her unconscious state. The mask, blank emotionless, would not remain when she was thus. Soft features, normally hard and unyielding, were tight with the agony she could not have fully expressed before.
Even as he faded into sleep she remained, memories unwilling to go—as if some part of her, separated from him on the other side of the barrier, could ease what pain he could not be rid of even in rest. And that body leaned against it, unwilling to go.
A deep inhale was pulled into her lungs as the healing aura did its job; still, she did not wake. Yards away, the battle over, the blade in the crater shifted as Seph lost touch with its power—with Draco. The red orb at the end swung as it returned it its original form, the fetal dragon in its center glowing once as it hit the thick leather hilt. Metal gleamed in the daylight and the hum, the glow from the runes, faded as they stopped moving and became nothing more than unintelligible decoration.
It was in these final moments that the beat of hooves echoed along the dirt path—four sounding as many—as thunder and burning flame. Smoke flared from nostrils and fire spouted forth from a long snout—from around hooves too large to be from a normal steed.
“People are not meant to ride on animals,” a voice snapped. “Why did you give me time to get a mech bike?!”
“Because it’s not exactly a luxury right now,” the beast growled back, pushing on. “Quit whining, old woman.”
“I am not whining,” she shot back, clinging for dear life about his oversized neck. Short brown strands whipped her neck and face. “I’m pointing out the obvious.”
“Then the obvious would be that I am not an animal.”
She grunted at that, deciding to concede. “How much further?” she shouted over the wind caused by the death-defying speeds they were going.
He stopped suddenly, jerking the woman’s entire body forward more than it had been before. “Jeeze… I’m gonna be sick…”
“We’re here now.”
“Good.. that’s great… awesome,” she muttered as he knelt and she slit down of the Fire Drake’s back. And that’s when she saw it. Forrest green eyes narrowed and then widened on the collapsed form. She ran. “Blade…” she said softly. Her head jerked back to the not-horse’s “Ghost, I thought you said she checked in?”
“And I felt something was wrong; which is why I told you we didn’t have time for you to grab the hunk of metal on wheels.” He didn’t give her time to argue. “There is another.” He inhaled deeply and looked towards where the crater was. “It must be the other she spoke of.”
The brunette lifted her, fairly certain Blade was alright for the moment since she was breathing. In one motion, she placed her friend’s body on the back of Ghost and got on herself, however hesitant. Without saying a word, he headed off in an even trot towards the destruction.
“Her sword isn’t in the sheathe,” she told him. “What the hell happened here?” She got off as soon as he stopped by the man with ashen hair. And then she froze. “Ghost…” she began.
“Get him. The sword next. It’s over there.” His long snout jutted towards the reflective blade in the crater.
“Yeah… sure.” She did both, wanting to say more… but let it go. When she got the sword and took hold of hilt, knowing it was going to be a bitch either way, something caught her eye—something gleaming in the sun. She bent and retrieved it, folding it over in her hands before deciding to pocket it. Questions later, after all. With a grunt, she dragged the weapon with her and—somehow—managed to resheathe it into the casing strapped to Blade’s back. “You sure you got them?” she asked as he turned to go.
“I won’t go as quickly,” he assured her.
She muttered something under her breath as she held them both, cursing the Fire Drake not letting her bring the mech bike. God, she hated riding. Had hated when she’d had to with Blade.
God damn backed woods medieval… “I hope you know I’m going to cuss you a new one,” she told Blade. “Stupid idiot. Simple job my ass…”
“Seph…” her voice whispered, echoing, before fading almost entirely into silence. And yet the form remained… like a painting on the wall—both a vivid reminder and a comforting support. As if all that she was before was now reflecting into him—connected more than she had been before the mark began to reappear on the other.
