@warplanet sent: can we go, please?

it was getting colder. the twins were better off this winter than the last, though vax'ildan had to admit that something about this one felt different. it felt severe, harsh. the shelter they'd happened upon felt too good to be true — and he couldn't tell if he was thankful for it yet, but vex'ahlia felt the same

“ yes, let's. ” they didn't have much to pack up. one of the perks of living off the streets and whatever the land could provide, he supposed. something weighs heavily in his chest as he ensures his knives are strapped to his waist and he exits the cave opening, turning back to look at it as they walk away. “ did you notice anything strange about that place, sister? ”

it  is  easy  to  sympathize  with  someone  else's  pain,  sympathy  can  be  given  out  like  candy  but  having  empathy  is  different.  not  everyone  can  clearly  feel  that  person's  sorrow,  to  genuinely  relate  to  it,  completely  understand,  and  as  annoying  as  being  an  empath  can  be  sometimes  she  wouldn't  trade  her  abilty  for  anything  in  the  world  because  of  that  very  reason.

“it  is  very  difficult…  to  care  so  much  about  your  family  and  not  be  able  to  protect  them  at  all  times…”  she  begins  shakily,  her  hands  clasped  behind  her  back  as  she  stares  up  at  the  pitch-black  sky.  after  all  the  dust  had  settled,  and  the  fog  subsided,  all  that  was  left  was  pain  –  sadness.  there  was  a  reason  for  it  all,  one  that  the  others  couldn't  comprehend,  not  because  they  hadn't  experienced  a  similar  situation  but  because  of  prejudice.  sometimes  a  villain  is  not  actually  a  villain,  not  truly.  “i  am  sorry  you  are  misunderstood.  i  too  would  do  anything  to  protect  my  family.  is  there  nothing  that  can  be  done..?  m-maybe  some  sort  of  law  could  be  made?  anything  at  all?  innocent  beings  should  not  be  hunted  simply  for  existing..”

            ‘   LUCY !!!  LUCY ?!   ’    his voice is laced in desperation , breathing haphazardly from the fight below.   tremaine forces lay siege to the castle in ambush and in the briefest of moments , his sword pulled from the fight by his wife and he with the task to bring lucy to safety.   they would meet up later.   henry is the fast and stronger of the two , they quickly conceited with and with a final longing look , he was separated from his true love.

          he fights through halls , watching as men and women on both side fall in the fight.   yet his eyes are set on ONE , his daughter.   bursting through the doors to her room , he stumbles forward , sword raised.   ‘   LUCY !!! --- sweetheart , it’s me , papa.   Lucy ?!   are you in here ?!   ’

                           ‘   we cleared the landing.   ’   he’s getting better at this.   knowing where the magic bean will land when he throws it.   enough times appearing in the middle of the street and causing car accidents brought forth extensive trial and error.   with ella and her condition ??   ------ -- henry ought to know better.   ‘   there’s still a few hours until your appointment.   granny’s ??   ’ // @lckyflwr
