The wind screamed in her ears, as the tall blonde made her
way to where she had felt her soulmate. For a very short time, they had been
given a reprieve, and she would put it to good use, just as she knew her
partner would also. (Normally, they didn’t mix business and pleasure, but this
time… this time, as they were in the middle of a a war, they could make an exception.)
Of course, as for the wind, though it was a relatively still moment, she could
always feel it moving about her, calling to her, whispering to her, caressing
her in a way she would never have allowed anyone save her beloved. She knew
no-one else could hear the movements of the wind, feel the shift of the air
around them, but she… she had always been able to. And, though at times she had
thought – and still thought, though few and far between – that she was losing
her mind… she had come to accept through years of fighting that the wind, the
air… it was naturally, integrally a part of her.
A part that would truly drive her mad, if she ever again
tried to deny. Yet… there were other reasons, she though at times that she was
mad… When she couldn’t stop thinking of the things her Father had often said to
her while she was growing up – useless, worthless, good-for-nothing, stupid,
and so on… When she couldn’t ignore that little voice in the back of her mind,
the one that kept saying she would never be good enough, no matter what she
did, that no-one really cared, and that she would be better off dead… When she
couldn’t fight her own inner demons anymore;
that was when she truly
gave the thought that she was crazy merit. She pushed the thoughts away, as she
reached the Dream Lake, and her lover. She needed to stop thinking about this,
but she also knew that Neptune would sense her mood, if she didn’t.
She had already led her beloved into death three
times; she wouldn’t burden her with demons that weren’t hers to deal with.
((Sorry this took so long... life has been... bad... to say the least.))
