The island was supposed to be a good and happy place, but nothing was ever so simple as it seemed. The queen nearly bit her tongue as she stumbled upon… Well, there were a lot of things. First and foremost was the body on the ground. She hardly looked. She hated it- death. Besides, there was something infinitely more important in this little impromptu gathering on the island- Mauja. The queen’s heart shattered as she looked at him. She felt her emotions go from a steady go out of control in an instant. She felt her pulse go from gentle to pulsing, from slow to rapid, at the drop of a hat. Her limbs started trembling, her eyes started watering, and she could feel a scream building in her mouth. She wanted to. She tried to. The scream would not come. Her heart ached in silence, the noise caught in her throat. It ended up coming out only as a terribly choked out sob. “No,” she hissed through teeth that were damp with excess saliva. Except her eyes did not point at the death on the ground. They looked straight at Mauja- at the horn on his head, at the ice that she could sense swirling below the surface of his body. He had done this. She knew it. He had done it, and she had been a fool to trust him. Stupid. She had called him friend so quickly. She should have known it was all a game. “No,” she choked out again before gathering her trembling limbs and starting to run. Away- she ran with all the might she could muster, leaping from the Edge of the island with all the reckless abandon of a foal. She trusted the clouds to catch her, to deliver her safely to the ground, where she could run some more, away from the idea of Mauja the killer returned. Had he thought she wouldn’t find out? She had to find Resplendence… It was only the watchful eyes of Khan that spied the snake skin on the ground beside the body. He would tell her later. For now, she needed to mourn. @[Mauja]- tagging you because I thought you might find it important/relevant Posting for World’s Edge Sweethearts- Res, Jahzara, Kahlua, Nayati Khan & Kahlua |
