– ☾ Between all the death and manipulation she had dealt with back in Mystic Falls, it’s not entirely a surprise to find that there’s a magic strong enough to pull a multitude of universes together. Had it been slightly terrifying to not know where you are, WHY you’re there? Of course but it was quickly realized there was no changing your fate, not this time. Things here were definitely harder with life only truly GOOD in the center of the town, and even then was it really good? An element of normalcy sure, but things were limited including resources. Perhaps that was why people kept exploring the outskirts, trying to see what they could salvage. Bonnie had been no different, but it wasn’t for empty bottles of booze or canned food. No what she was searching for was items of a more NATURAL state, things to keep her rooted to her magic.
Had she been anyone else, perhaps someone like Matt, she would have thought twice about being alone on the outskirts of the only thriving life force. However with hardly any threats to her there didn’t seem a point. Or there hadn’t been until today for as the wind shifts through the trees she can SENSE something different; something familiar. “That’s not possible.” Whispered words of reassurance leave, keeping her back turned from the oncoming foot steps; ignoring the swell of emotion building in her chest. He was d e a d, had been for years before she’d even been SUCKED into this wasteland. Magic was strong, but Bonnie knew better than anyone, it wasn’t that strong. Not without a price.
There was something so familiar about the scent Tyler found himself tracking. Something strong. It reminded him of home. Of Mystic Falls and friendship. Of a comfort he thought he’d lost when he first woke up in Romania. — A place he still doesn’t remember travelling to. Doesn’t even remember the world ending, but apparently it has, everything outside Deva’s walls lying in desolation. There must’ve been magic involved and maybe that’s another thing drawing him towards the outskirts. Whatever this scent was, friend or foe, it was powerful. Powerful enough that it might help him find some answers.
It doesn’t take him long to locate the source. Perks of being a Hybrid. He’d struggled to find them before, too distracted by a bond that left him imprisoned, but that’s broken now and he can finally embrace what that means. The gifts that it comes with. ‘ Hey, I don’t think you’re supposed to be this far.. ——— Bon? ’ Suddenly, it becomes clear why the scent brought him warmth rather than suspicion. It was Bonnie. Or at least, she smelt like Bonnie. Looked a little different. A little older, and the air around her seems to all but crackle with something that wasn’t there before. ‘ Shit, Bon. You have no idea how good it is to see you again. ’ Despite this, he withholds rushing forward. Just in case. Can’t be too careful. ‘ I thought I was the only one of us who got sucked into this shitshow. ’
