Ampere the Mother of Companions
The labyrinth seemed like the perfect place to get lost. Ampere stood on its outskirts for a moment, and wondered, hoped, that she could accomplish just that. That insurmountable urge to flee from everything grabbed her again, sending a thrill through her body that felt like a jolt of electricity through her spine. Her feathers picked up for a moment before falling flat, and uncertainly she snorted, and then she ran. She just, ran, headlong and hard, plunging through the jungle as if her very life were carried in the swiftness of her hooves. Vines threatened to ensnare her and branches tried to block her, but she dodged, ducked, weaved, dipped, dived, and dodged her way through their obstacles with a capability she didn't think she possessed, or could control. She was going purely off instinct, a living machine powered by fire and a pounding heart. Kygo screeched overhead, desperate to keep up with her, confused by the lack of communication from her end. Where Ampere normally wore her heart on her shoulder, today she had walled him off, the first successful attempt and she hadn't even tried. She'd sunken into some old part of herself, or was reaching for it, trying to find her way amid the mess of whoever she was now. Oblivious to the bird, to everything, Ampere just ran. She ran until her flanks heaved and darkened in sweat. She ran until her lungs burned and her legs went numb. She ran until she forgot what she was running from, until she was lost, and then and only then, did she stop. Blue sparks whizzed all around her, gathered like a comet's trail behind her as she blazed a path through the brush, the furious undertone of her energy pulling the raw power from the foliage to accompany her. As she stilled, so too did the electricity, and with a bright, though subdued fizzle, each one winked out and left her back in the darkness, in the heart of the maze. |
