Broken.
AN: Tis the month to be angsting!
When? AU SilMilish
Who? You know the answer to this.
Warning? None - just emotional. Image is not quite NSFW.
He had never reached out previously - never shown the slightest hint of emotion outside of the bedroom. He barely acknowledged her in meetings and if it wasn’t for his distinctive scent - ginger tinged with some foreign aura she knew had to be from earth, she would not know he graced her rooms during the long passionate evenings they shared. Therefore, the Princess of Venus was shocked when the Terran General entered her quarters and buried himself in her arms. Unsure how to react, she did what came naturally and embraced him, crooning soft sounds and phrases in her native tongue.
Let it go she thought.
And he did - shattering completely, heart breaking sobs wrenching from his body.
When he finally did cease his weeping, she asked, “Who?”
“Endymion.”
The syllables were laced with incredible pain.
“What happened?”
“The red witch. I failed him.”
Venus, who knew many things about both of their realms, could not remember any bit of knowledge or rumor associated with an individual called the ‘red witch.’ Where had this threat come from? As much as she longed to run to ensure the safety of her princess, she lingered with the silver haired man. In this moment, there were others to protect the young regent and although her heart was heavy for him, duty called. She needed to learn more of this dangerous subject. Keeping him close, she said, “Nothing’s hopeless. Queen Selenity… Her jewel - it has restorative powers. Perhaps…”
“There is darkness in him. He is lost to us. He is beyond our help - beyond the help of anyone.”
And Venus understood why he wept. The work of his life was lost - pointless. Like her, she served one purpose - the protection of her royalty. Even her title of Princess was secondary. Beyond her planet, beyond the citizens - there was only Serenity.
And so, saying nothing further, she held him tight.
AN: I might still use this image for the modern Cowboy verse…it was a toss.
