#58 Shooting Star (focus : Neviril/Aaeru) Title : Out of Reach
‘Look Neviril ! Here, up in the sky !’
Neviril looked up to the ink-blue immensity ahead of them. A white object moving fast caught her eyes, a shooting star leaving its beautiful trail behind.
‘Let’s follow it.’ said Aaeru, a huge grin on her face. Neviril didn’t move.
‘It’s too fast and high. We can’t reach it.’
‘You never tried to.’
Neviril glanced back to Aaeru. She tried to know if her smile will be even brighter running after a star. She searched again for it in the sky : it had almost disappeared to the west.
‘Let’s go.’
#73 Past (focus : Anubituf/Guragief) Title : Epiphany
The instant their lips touched, Guragief felt like he had been teleported back ten years ago. The memories came rushing in, an unstoppable flow of not-so-long-forgotten moments.
Their first kiss. Hesitant, yet breathtaking. When they touched. Their bodies intertwined. Her hand slowly reaching for her own. Her eyes burning their way to her soul. Their never-ending fire.
Then the images faded, blurred by tears she couldn't stop. Questions still without answers.
Finally, one vision remained before the present came flooding back.
Her eyes. His eyes.
They didn’t change.
Suddenly he knew what to do.
#67 Disappear (focus : Dominura/Rimone) Title : Ashes to the Stars
Rimone and Dominura didn’t die. They just... stopped existing, stopped being there. The sybillae couldn’t feel them around anymore, like they used to.
They had been a Chor, solid and united despite their differences. They had been a Chor and now they were only orphaned sybillae.
Like Amuria, they had been taken away by the Emerald Ri Maajon. Like her, they left behind them an empty feeling, a sour taste.
Rimone was far too young to die - no, disappear - in such a way. Dominura was too experimented to fall so easily.
They were gone. Where did they went ?
