*finds his way to a quiet river*

*demanifests his clothes and plunges in*

*is a tad troubled*

Comments

[vala_child]

*wondering where to find you*

[vala_child]

*covers her face with her hands*

*turns where she stands, still shaking*

[herald_eonwe]

*takes a deep breath*

*remains where he is*

[vala_child]

*can't move away either*

Did you want this?

*eyes flash open, fixed on the sky*

*sudden wind*

[herald_eonwe]

No, Ilaya.

*stands his ground*

[vala_child]

*skies begin to darken strangely, without clouds*

And you would yet betray me?

*deep, deep rumble of thunder*

[herald_eonwe]

It is not you I have betrayed.

[vala_child]

*turns back to you, not understanding*

Then who?

*wind whips their clothing and hair*

[herald_eonwe]

*fixes his gaze on you*

Me. I betrayed my true self a long time ago, Ilaya.

[vala_child]

*sky crackles with residual lightning*

*feels the anger begin to fade into despair*

You went from me... from our bed, to him.

[herald_eonwe]

Those are not connected, I swear it to you.

[vala_child]

*finally drops shakily to her knees*

I gave you my love. Everything.

[herald_eonwe]

*drops to his knees too*

*resists the need to touch you*

Your love is the only pure thing remaining with in me, Ilaya. Without it, I am...

*waves a hand to form shadows around him* ...lost.

[vala_child]

*falters again at the sight of the shadows*

*hugs herself*

*turns her face upward to the lingering thunder and lightning*

Without you, none of this would be. I wouldn't be...

[herald_eonwe]

No, Ilaya. I will not agree with you there. You are stronger than that.

[vala_child]

*distraught* Don't you know how much a part of me you are? How impossible it is for me to go back?
