M O I R A
she looks into her mirror,
wishing someone could hear her, so loud
She's never been more of a dreamer than she is now, with her heart bleeding somewhere in Denocte and her heart bleeding somewhere in the waters beneath the feet of a wave-frosted man. There are stars vibrating in gold, shining in white, and they glow when they look to Eik and his gentle face, his soft words.
They roll like thunder down her neck where his nose is pressed. It feels like family, like a thing she's never had. The phoenix sighs into the touch, falls into the familiarity of it. This is almost like the first time they'd met as dreamers and sleepless fiends, under the stars and under the sun where all they could do was wait until they would part. How she'd wanted to paint him, a slash of a smile like a comet on his face as the sun kissed it so sweetly, so gently, that she was jealous of his skin for the way the skies wished to hold it. But she could never truly detest Eik, could never truly be jealous when he is light and he is joy and he is life.
Side by side they wait as the ash clears and the volcano disappears, as the dawn breaks and a bridge lays bare. Like whale bones rising to the heavens, a path of obsidian and pearl and shells sprawls out further than she can sea. There's something about the endless opportunity and chance of the future that pulls Moira forward, urges her black slippered feet to press into the pathway before them.
Bodies press nearer, some turn away, some go forward. None are still save Eik. So she pauses, the Tonnerre girl smiles that flame bright smile, she reaches back with a wing once so frightened to move and pulls him near her side so they can walk the same path and breathe the same air. "Toward the future. Will you join me?" For she would not force this upon him should he choose to turn away, but she would lift him into the air and fly her desert companion back to stormy shores should anything happen. Never mind that she never learned to fly, only how to fall.
