002.nd Fragment: The Missing Time [audio]
This place really is like a fairy tale, isn't it..?
[ Aether's voice is thoughtful, even a little distant. His fingers drum on the window of the library in a soft and steady rhythm, creating a sound that conceals the sound of the wind outside. This might not be the safest or the warmest place, but he's fine with that. Seeking a more permanent hoe is low on his list right now. ]
You return home and let the years pass. One of them goes by, three, five... you live, you learn, you grow stronger. But then this place returns into your life and the time seems to roll back. No matter how much you experienced back home, it has been nothing more than four months here. Like in the Faerie Court, the time here and there never moves at the same speed.
[ The drumming stops, instead replaced by a faint sound of amusement. ]
Don't you think it unfair that you cannot miss the events back home, but can miss plenty here? I would think memories of both should be equally precious.
