"If you want to go, it's alright." - from El.

Ashlynn’s felt the longing for this moment since the first time she returned to the Keep after the news broke. She’s craved the grass pillowing her head, the feel of sweat on her skin, the stretch in her arms from the bow, a full belly and eyes closed so she wouldn’t have to watch the sun rise. ( she can enjoy the night a bit longer … she demands to. ) Because El’s there, tucked against her, warm and solid and she liked the way his breathing timed in rhythm with the song of cicadas. “Why would I want to do that?” She asked. With a sigh loose from her lips, she opened her eyes and watched the glow of the coming morning illuminate his face, a tinge of sadness while her smile grew faint. ( he was beautiful like this. a different beauty than when they moved between trees following a fresh trail. and it was something she couldn’t help but notice every time. ) — And every time was beginning to feel like last time. Resting her head atop his shoulder, she curled an arm around him once more. “Just a bit longer.”It felt like a prayer.

"I'm not coming back." - from Galen (sorry)

The words did not seem to register at first; it was as if another had spoken through Galen’s mouth. “No.” It was Illias who spoke, and once more, it was someone else speaking through him – that ancient part of his soul that had been formed of mud right beside Galen eons ago. “You’re not staying there.” 

Trees still obscured their view of the Keep, but it haunted him all the same. In some ways, he could remember it far more vividly than he could remember his own home; there was a taint to the air around it, and such a place didn’t deserve the golden heart of Galen Vance. “I’ll have to come for you then,” he declared. “If it’s safer for you to stay until we take the whole damn Keep, so be it, but don’t you… Don’t you be noble for my sake, Galen. I made my choice; you made yours. Until we go to the stars.”

      “And may I have this dance, My fair Lady?” His serious expression was belied by the amusement in his eyes, and then the facade cracked. A smile hinted as Lord Balor’s lips as he bowed, extending a hand to the woman in question. 

“My Lady, if I may have a word with your partner, I am certain my son would be thrilled to compensate you with a dance.”  Thaddeus stepped forward and dismissed the woman with a disarming smile. As the young woman walked away, he turned to the nobleman. “Why don’t you leave the ladies to we widowers and the young men desperate for brides, Lord Balor?”

"We could always laugh at him."

There was no mercy for such an ill-mannered young man. “Right in front of his face, I’d say.” She smiled in a secretive way and playfully glared at the rude man, though her games could become a real threat if he decided to insist on teasing the pair. “Then he’d react and show us more of his insecurities, to keep us laughing until tea time.”

Flounder

Flashback: Fourteen years ago, Age 9.

Drowning.

The grip on the nape of his neck would bruise. In the morning, a storm of color would erupt. Blue, purple, green, yellow; a lightning strike.

He choked on a never-ending sea of red. The iron filled his mouth. There was no breath to be taken, but a gulp of pig’s blood. His knuckles turned pale, palms were splintered by the wooden trough sides.

Elwinn was murdering him.

The young boy was soaked in crimson depths and his body fell limp, the deep-colored bubbles no longer rising to the thick surface. The hand forcing him under vanished.

A stranger removed him from the scarlet void. There was a pressure against his chest. It came in a rhythm, a beat lulling him from the darkness of death’s slumber.

He coughed up a wake of pink saliva. The stranger clapped him on the back. He saw Elwinn’s unsatisfied gaze in the distance; irises sorrowful he’d survived.

“Come with me,” the stranger took hold of his shoulder, “I’ll teach you how to survive.”

It was a woman who helped him up, and she remained a stranger for only a day more.
