Resplendence

one day i'll be stronger than my own doubt

The darkness was falling. Night blanketing the fields of blood and sweat. War torn fields of history repeating, repeating, repeating. Her mind was clouded with memories of the Foothills being invaded. The pain. The cries. Her mind jumps and her body freezes. Stuck. Conscious clashing with the desire to cry out WHY and run. She had said she would come along to help those she called family get away from the vengeful Moon Goddess. She had not expected to feel so sick about this afterwards. Her body trembled, and she shuffled back, farther into the shadows.

Lied. Deceitful actions. She shed tears in the darkness, in the silence of too many sounds. In fact, it was a silence to her because her mind was making the clashing of bodies, the cries of pain, the fighting merge together into a quilt that she allowed to wrap around her bodice and calm down her anxiety attacks. She didn't have Kaj to hold her right now. She didn't have Quilyan. She didn't have Archibald. She didn't have a heartbeat to match. She had to be strong to do this on her own. She leaned up against the tree, eyes closed as Valiance continued to loop around the battle field - watching those of the Basin, of her family, of those who were attacking the minimal number of Falls members. And, when one was near ready to collapse, she called upon the power of the Moon Goddess to envelope them in a cocoon of shadow and heal just enough to allow them to continue forward - to not be killed.

She was grateful, to see Kaj, Destrier, Romani, Kahlua, and Kota safe - watching as the battles commenced. Minimal injuries would take their hides, they would emerge safe as she had asked. It was only as one after another succumbed to the fights that she began to inch forward. Resplendence tried to edge up closer to Kaj - to her brother, as Valiance swooped in near the end. If they could see her eyes the pain would be evident. But it wasn't physical pain. She had not been touched during these battles. No. She had simply seen too much blood spilt, too many memories drudged to the surface, and now they were to come and live in these lands…

Should he allow it, she tries to press up against his side, eyes lingering upon the on-going battle of two leaders - Archibald and Ghost. "Kaj, he's going to kill her if they don't stop!" she is almost pleading, voice not wavering as the one thing deep inside her tells her that no one deserved death. "We overwhelm them, we've won. Please… stop it…" she says, eyes trying to linger up to Kaj as she stood there, watching the battles.

It was sickening, and as everyone seemed to finish except for Archibald and Ghost, she trudged her way toward higher ground - so she could be seen and heard. Just as she made it to that location, though, she heard Archibald call out that it was done. From this new position she realized just how many had been spared a battle by the lack of Falls members. But, all the same the Falls was now suffering. She shuffled her limbs, standing square and firm as Valiance shot a line of fire across the sky to garner attention. "I will not discriminate. Should you require healing, please come. No one deserves to suffer more than was necessary," she announces. Her voice is strong, she does not waver. Her eyes linger upon Kahlua and Kaj before turning toward Ghost and offering a gentle smile, Valiance shooting from Resplendence's side to try and get the dark, winged and horned mare to come toward Resplendence and be healed. She would not survive long if she didn't, Resplendence couldn't doubt that from the appearance of her injuries.


---- Open to all who need to be healed :3
