A light rainfall pitter-pattered upon the walls of the spire, the sky a gloomy but calming mix of blues and greys.
Eve had made it a habit to weasel her way into Sapphire’s room every night — whether that be willingly or by choosing a new hiding spot to pop out of —, flooding tranquility with questions galore and comments on just about anything to fill the void. It ranged from mediocre ones such as the weather and daily tasks to philosophical and religious, always ready to pick his brain on what she deemed as ‘vast knowledge’.
This time however, the sheep was just as quiet as the soft music idly playing in the background. She watched the rain from the open window, dangling her feet and staring below into the open cavern of darkness. One wrong slip and she’d be crumbled, just like that — no ifs, ands, or buts. Gone.
“…Why are we so fragile?”
Was the inquiry of the night, it seems. Her eyes never left the falling height.
“Do you ever wonder that? What our purpose is in this strange phenomena…did the Witches bake us with a destiny mixed in our dough for us to somehow find along the line? Or…are we just testin’ the limits on how sturdy our bodies really are before the jam runs cold?
One wrong move…that’s an early expiration date. Surely it can’t be that easy if we were created for a cause, right? The Gods wouldn’t bake us to be crumbled that easily…right?”
And the other reason she preferred to stay in his company — the navigation of spiraling.
