we heal with love,
“Why?”
Hemlock must have asked her that question a dozen times since he realized where Alysanne was heading when she turned south earlier that day. He kept asking because she kept being unable to answer. She just… needed to go back. The decaying marsh and what god or creature had taken up residence there was a shadow in the back of her mind ever since they had all been betrayed by Kisamoa. She hadn’t been smart enough to suspect him during the tasks he had asked them to do, though some of them had certainly seemed strange, and she felt guilty that she was just someone else that played a part in making this happen.
Perhaps the very least that she could do was keep an eye on the marsh whenever she could, see what might be brewing there.
Only, once she arrived in the late afternoon, she couldn’t bring herself to take the step that would actually bring her into the marsh. She paused on that northern edge, where they had not long ago all gathered to clear away the land. Alysanne wasn’t sure if it was cowardice or something much, much more complicated. Or a combination of both? She was weak, no one ever seemed to doubt that simple fact, and certainly not strong enough to take that step. Just as she hadn’t had anything to contribute to the battle against the bone monster… anything to contribute to help Nyx survive...
If she had still been a Moon Doctor, would she have been able to save the silver mare? If she had finished her quest, would she have been able to alleviate some of the pain and make things easier?
Her ears flattened against her skull in disgust and anger at herself and she snorted, shaking her head and striking against the ground with a hoof. Agonizing over what she should have done differently wasn’t going to help anyone.
She started to pace, keeping her attention on the marsh, on the decaying landscape that hid the shrine she knew lay just a little further inland, but still she travelled along the border. Not really sure what she was looking for or even what she would do if she saw anything, but feeling a little better just for the sake of it all the same.
