When Darcy finally woke Ishara was still there. He didn't register her at first. He didn't register much of anything. He felt strangely disconnected from his body. Truly as if he had been taken apart and put back together again. He groaned and shifted uncomfortably in the bed. Or he tried to, anyway, all of his limbs felt heavy. One amber eye blinked open. The other was hidden behind a layer of heavy bandages.
Finally, she was there, in the corner of his vision. A figure he didn't yet recognize in profile. He didn't know where he was or who she was. Nothing was making sense to him, yet. He startled, and then recoiled with a gasp of pain when something not quite healed moved a way it shouldn't.
He was able to decipher one thing, whoever she was was holding something she didn't need to be. That he didn't want her to be. His thoughts felt like they came in fragments. It was a dingy silver coin inlaid with emeralds. His token to Phaedra, the Veridian goddess, that he had gotten from his mother as a child. "Don't tou-" he started to rasp an instruction at her but dry and unused vocal chords had him in a coughing fit instead.

I fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) I want no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true) and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you.
