[nospaces] [attr="class","dragonborne"] [attr="class","banner"] [attr="class","pkmn"] [attr="class","body"] [attr="class","postbox"] everywhere is red and golden fire. ash is on the edge of her vision, creeping fingers in her mouth. sanguine serpents trickle from her nostrils, her ears. her insides twist and her hip twitches, shattered bone singing lullabies of pain, an echoing, harkening pain of all that's come and all that's yet to come. she thinks, this is what it feels to die.[break][break]
no, child, death has gorged themself on the war waging above your heads. they are scuttering over carrion corpses, lapping at the fetid pools of blood spilt by careless and calculated hands. this still-grinning, triumphant man who hates you, who loves you, with every fibre of his being - who needs you, who cannot conceive of you, was never lying when he said you would not die, burning, in a place like this. [break][break]
you, freya morningstar, for better or for worse, are passed over by death's one-eyed stare. [break][break]
elisabeth escapes. fernando collapses. freya's scream, as she comes back to her body, is a soundless one. she stumbles and lyune is there - her guiding moonlight. [break][break]
and the silence is so, so loud. [break][break]
the water laps at her ankles. swaying legs give out and she folds against her dragon, holding his cheek and breathing hard, rasped murmurs of thank yous spoken in a language as ancient as time. his pulse thrums in tandem with hers.[break][break]
death has turned their back for now, but they wait, just on the edge of the horizon. she knows this and yet she cannot will herself to stand. her fingers are slipping. her arms are giving out. [break][break]
she lay supine, hair fanning out around her in the shallow water. her lips - dry and cracked and bleeding (does she have much blood left to give?) - part and she marvels at how inconsequential they are, in this grand scheme of it all. [break][break]
and yet, despite it all, they all cling so horridly, greedily, tenaciously to this infinitesimal strand of life. try to make it theirs and say i am enough as i am and they are - she is - but not alone. never alone. she remembers what she told someone forever ago - strength is not having the power to protect or even the heart to muster courage.[break][break]
- her lashes flutter. she tilts her head and looks wearily, one last time, at fernando.[break][break]
it's trusting that the people you love will keep you safe when you need them most. [break][break]
