1 + 1 | Natalia Luzu Kimlasca Lanvaldear

[mykimlasca]

[She was out a bit too long outside on a cold day. No regret for that, there were programs to oversee, but perhaps she had been careless..the thoughts are so fleeting in the back of her mind, like gentle whispers of long ago..

Her gold hair spills against the pillow, her eyes half-open, she looks small and fragile, nothing like the girl-Queen that she is inside, powerful, courageous, fearless..she looks quite mortal.

Quite sick. It's getting quiet now..]

[ Something -- someone -- coalesces in the shadows of your room. ]

sobs

[mykimlasca]

[Natalia blinks in the darkness, she is a Queen now, and she's done some great things. She's tired though. Her eyes flutter open once, blinking..somehow this feels so familiar.]

Oh but Nanny..you left me a long time ago..why are you here..--

YOU WANTED IT

[grimreaping]

[ Kid crosses the room on silent feet, sitting lightly on the edge of her bed and taking her hand in his own. ]

Hello Natalia.

I KNOW I LOVE IT SOBS

[mykimlasca]

[she looks up, opening her eyes wide, before her face weakly shifts into one of her sweet, sunny smiles]

Kid.. I knew we'd meet again..

[grimreaping]

Too soon, though. You never did learn... to take care of yourself as everyone else.

[mykimlasca]

Don't look at me like that...a Queen always places her people before her own. [she presses her hand to his cheek, her eyes brimming with happy tears]

When I returned home, I had dreams about washing the dishes for weeks..I knew they were real, all my memories. I knew somewhere, my dear friend was in the same situation as I was..so I wasn't afraid of being alone.

To be honest Kid, this is a very lonely throne, regardless. I am happy that my position has brought the 'golden age' that they believe it to be. Times of peace will come hereafter, and my heir will act as I have done..

[she laughs, but it breaks off into a weak cough, her hand slipping, it takes too much energy]

And here I am, confessing my thoughts to you again.

[grimreaping]

[ when Natalia talks about dishes and touches his cheek, something in Kid's chest tightens; as much as he knows that he has to stay neutral, objective... he's not able to ]

You've never been completely alone, not really.

[ catches her hand as it slips, holds it instead in his own ]

I don't mind. I never have.

[mykimlasca]

Truly? As always, your words have a way of speaking to my heart..

[the tears spill over, her smile warm, despite the blood streaming from the side of her mouth, lights will begin to rise from her body, just like they had from her father, Badaq. ]

Do you remember what I told you? I hoped one the day that I would end my long journey, I hoped that Death and I would meet as dearest of friends--and so we have---...

[grimreaping]

I've remembered everything you've told me.

[ thinks she looks beautiful regardless ]

Only your body is dying here. You'll live forever on in the hearts of your people... and in mine.

[ leans close to her, his voice dropping to a gentle whisper ]

Come with me, Natalia.

I CAN'T DO THIS X( I NEED AN ADULT..

[mykimlasca]

[her eyes widen at that, as she looks up into his face, and thinks Death is a very gentle, precious sort of person who she if things had been different, would have loved like any normal man.

her eyes begin to flutter, the light orbs beginning to rise from her body as she offers him one sweet smile. ]

Let's go..then...I have so much to tell you...[her eyes begin to close, as her head falls back into the pillow, the lights beginning to cover her form.

Natalia Luzu Kimlasca-Lanvaldear, beloved Peasant Princess and Queen of the Kingdom of Light, begins another journey.]

[grimreaping]

[ After her form dissolves, Kid is left holding a shining orb in his hands. He thinks it's probably the purest soul he's ever seen, and finds himself unsurprised. For all the sorrow and guilt Natalia felt about her past, he'd told her once it made her stronger. Her hardships weren't tarnish, but polish. And she was beautiful in body and soul.

He pulls the soul closer. He will need to give her up, she was destined to be somewhere and it was his duty to send her onward -- but selfishly, he wants just a few more moments with her, loathe to part so easily with someone who changed him for the better, and who he really will remember for the long, long time he will live. ]

Natalia...

[ hard to speak, his chest burns with tightness, and in the privacy of her room, he allows himself to do what might seem odd, for a god of death -- weep quietly over her passing ]

5, i rolled 3 but THAT IS JUST SCARY SO NO

[silpheeding]

[This is something she's all too used to, isn't it? Death could never be called mundane, but... she'd grown used to it.

It was still rather sad though, wasn't it?]

Done already, are you? I'd thought you'd had so much planned for the future.

[mykimlasca]

[she's a Queen now, and her smile is soft]

Oh Rachel, you're still horribly pessimistic, you know. Kimlasca is a golden kingdom..and this Queen has done all she could. [her eyes close]
Is this not satisfactory for you? Or are you angry that we didn't have any Dahrjeeling tea..?

crying forever

[silpheeding]

I admit it was a bit of a disappointment not to have Dahrjeeling with you here. For such a splendid kingdom, to not have such a simple thing seems rather ridiculous.

[Nope can't be nice even while you're dying... except not really. There's a compliment hidden beneath all that.]

I'm afraid I set my expectations rather high at times.

oh rachel...

[mykimlasca]

Ah, you called it splendid. I'm fortunate to hear such words, especially now. I'm going to be leaving very soon, you know. [she smiles gently at her]

I have never stopped hoping for your success in your duty, I believe someday you will be satisfied by a good result.
