"Reserve your right to think,
for even to think wrongly
is better than not to think at all."
Night holds close to Hypatia, breathes down her neck and wants to control her. For a moment, she is lost in the stars and the blackest night, but her fire calls to her. It wakens deep in her soul. She can never be in the dark. She is alive with fire.
And with her fire, she will make sure that he will fly again. She will fly for him. But can she? She stills the air from beneath his wings. Her fire takes the wind and smothers it. Maybe it is not her help that he needs to fly, but his own. She can do nothing but stand back and watch. She does not have wings of her own. She does not fly.
She burns.
He speaks again, the dark monolith, and little does she know that she know speaks with the King of Wolfrange. She doesn’t want to know. And to her, it matters not. Rulers would come and go, and Kale was another of them. Now…now she would learn to command her Fire like Requiem could not. His was bitter oil, and hers was light and hope. Before their eyes, she becomes more powerful. It rushes into her so quickly, the Elements, that her head pushes back in bliss. Her eyes seem to burn with the heat of her sun. Her body is not hot to the touch, but it is inside her, seeming to melt her. She will test this new power. She wills it to work.
A flaming circle appears suddenly around Kale. It flicks high into the night sky, but it does not illuminate anything. She can see it, and the Elements can see it, but it does not exist anywhere else. It does not burn the grass, it does not heat the body. Kale is as cold and apathetic as ever. She steps closer to him, and her flaming circle shrinks until it seems to encompass him. Hypatia can see him as a flicker in some other vision that does not belong to her. With all her power, with her burning eyes, she wills him to tell her the truth, to answers her questions.
“Why are you so cold, Kale?” It is a whisper from her lips, but the Elements around her shout it. The night screams with it. It demands that the King answer her, but his Water fights back. There is a struggle going on that Kale cannot see, but perhaps he can feel it in some far away corner in his mind. As much as she wants it though, she cannot make him answer, cannot control his vocals, but only suggest that he bend to her will.
It is not the power, but the answers she craves. This darkness frightens her. And it is Kale.
