Desreal: to: MARSHALL

hearts that cry diamond tears;
spirits that walk for a thousand years;
here them calling on that darkest morning;
pulling me under, my thoughts dissapear;

Time moves slowly for the duo. She is afraid of you Marshall, afraid of you in ways she will never be afraid of anyone else. She loves you more than she should, but not enough to take her from Alshain’s side. You will always be her best friend, her one time lover, but nothing more. She wants to tell you she loves you, to give you everything you’ve ever wanted. But she is not that cruel. Not to you.

You move closer and the smell of the ocean lingers on your skin. She rests her muzzle against your shoulder, inhaling deeply. Her heart aches, it bleeds. Thudding erratically against her chest. She misses Solira more than you could ever know, and it pains her to be so far away from what she loved. Loves. She hesitates a moment, her sapphire eyes freezing with ice. The Shard whispers grow more insistent. Soon the Saphira he loves will be no more, but she cannot bring herself to tell him. To let him know how quickly she is fading. Soon she will be just an outline, a wraith of her former self. Unless…her thoughts do not finish.

She will hide this fact from you for eternity. Knowing you would gladly take it from her to save her in the end. But she would never allow it. And in that moment of weakness, she would even kill you to protect you. A vision forces itself into her mind of her dealing the death blow, and she shudders and moves away from him. Oh Marshall, even you cannot save her now.

“I am lost Marshall... so lost that I cannot be found.”

She does not ask him to find her, for to look would drive him to insanity. With the thoughts of the Shard running rampant in her mind, he would be lost. She turns away from him, her eyes closing heavily. Her decision made.

the siren

you can hold the darkness from you;
if the will is very strong;
but that whisper always haunts you;
cannot change the Siren's Song.
