I had recently regained my voice. But I had also lost my sight. I suppose it didn't bother me too much. Not really. I was used to seeing off of the vibrations around me, so I had just needed to get over being rusty. In fact, I was so determined to get over this phase of rust. I would be strong again, somehow. So I set off towards the Throat. I needed to find Cera. Or Sohalia. Or... someone who had seen me while I was mute and whom I had possibly concerned. They deserved an explanation - at the very least. It had been wrong to burden them like that. But... I just couldn't function. And... perhaps finally saying the words "I lost my companion" would allow me to completely accept the fact that he is gone and that I really am going to get the gift of a new one if I can just finish those tasks the God had given me. I was being given a second chance. I would not waste it. Walking. I don't know how long I walked. But, when I showed up at the border I was physically exhausted. Limbs were trembling, more than likely needing the water I had been refusing to drink until I had gotten to my destination. Vibrations reminding me of the metal wall that Sohalia had been working on, the one I had tried to help with. What would she think of me? Now that I had followed Midas? I hadn't left her. I'd be here for her. I would always be there should she need me. But... I needed Alleo more, and the Falls was much more like my old home than this desert. Cera, Sohalia, Midas, Alleo, even Africa were family - but the Throat was not home. I cough, clearing my throat as my soft voice permeates the air. "Cera?" A small pause, "Sohalia?" another pause, my voice hoarse, dying even after barely using it from almost a year of no use. "Africa? Anyone?" A gentle sigh and then a tilt of my cranium as I await with the unfocused look in my eye to prove the fact that I was once again blind. "It's me... Rasta..." Limbs shake, exhaustion present in the widened nostrils as I try to take in all the oxygen possible. Water. I needed water. That, and I needed a chance to explain - to apologize for burdening those I cared for most... -----
Open to anyone else Rasta called for. Main purpose is for Africa, though I ask that this thread is limited to three people total for my own sanity. ;3 | R take another breathe |

Mystified, just spinning 'round in circles
Drowning in the silent screaming with nothing left to say
