‘ i... i’m sorry, i’m so— i didn’t.. i didn’t mean to— i just— ’ i just wanted to become stronger faster was what ryne was struggling to get out of her throat, but all she managed to utter was some incoherent mumbling of panic-filled apologies. she’d done it again, failing and falling short of everyone’s expectation as the oracle of light, despite her desperate efforts at preventing it; it happened again and kept latching onto her like a curse: this aggravating helplessness that rendered her powerless in the face of danger, that rendered her a damsel in distress in need of a knight in shining armour. she hated feeling like this.
so ryne took it upon herself to become better. to get stronger. to control her power with more efficiency, more accuracy, more reliability for she understood just so how life-changing their cause was, and everyone was counting on them, on her to achieve the nearly impossible to save what was of left of this dying star, and she was painfully aware of the reality that there was no place for the weak, the useless here— it shamed her to have remained a heavy burden thus long. she wanted to at least contribute something— anything— even if it was some meager things such as slaying some lesser sin eaters...
apparently, she couldn’t even do that without endangering herself or getting herself cornered, because once again, she failed. and once again, the crystal exarch had to protect her at the cost of his own safety. the sin eaters though were far less formidable than those the warrior of light faced, were threatening in number. she could easily take down one or two of them at a time, but a horde of sin eaters was a different story; nothing could have prepared her for this sudden swarm assault— squeezing her eyes shut, she was mentally steeling herself to embrace what was to come... before the crystal exarch arrived and received these wounds that were rightfully hers.
‘ i’m so— l.. let me— no, please— ’ her vision was blurred with tears. she didn’t know what she was going to say, or what she was trying to do. she only knew she wanted these ugly gashes gone from his back, she wanted the bleeding to stop, she wanted it to stop now! minfilia, if you are listening, please help me just one more time... help me control this damn power!
