The stars are alive, child! Did you know that? Everything out there is alive, and there are grand purpose abroad!
"That too" I replied "that too..." I had had plenty of those wanders. some against my will, from Herstial to Elysium, with visions of ashes falling following me along the way. or from Elysium to Novus. Others more willing, from Dusk to Night. but all having brought me to who I am now. I wondered what his story was, I knew nothing of is past, and yet everything about him felt all too familiar. little did I know that too an outsider, we met as well have been telling the same story.
"no" I corrected gently. "no it wasn't unpleasant... it was beautiful and wonderful and... I lost it, and reliving that is painful. and dusk too was lovely but, I couldn't keep living pretending I hadn't lost anything. Night gives me something new, a past left behind. " no scents lingering on the wind, no trees engulfing me like the enchanted woods. just chilly mountain air.
I fell silent for a few minutes. turning away from him I grew fixed once more on the flames before us, watching them curl up into little sparks. It had been years, and yet I still could not shake that lingering terror. Even now, next to him, knowing that this was controlled, I had to tell myself not to let my eyes roll, not to back away in a panic. In it I could see everything that had happened. Herstial, Crucis, the wolf queens cruel speech.
I am ripped away from its pull by his next words, and let out a soft laugh. "me neither, no new children, no new reunions with past ones either." I pause smiling regretfully, but thinking too. I cannot keep myself from thinking that I feel a spark with this one... and not from the flickering before us. and I open my mouth before I can stop myself.
"It could"
