Had there been peace, true, vital sanctuary, glorious hallelujahs trumpeting from reposed columns or serene, assuaging hope, Lena would have enjoyed searching with her companions, painting the skies with information, wild, ebullient contemplations, christened, anointed bestowals of wisdom and sages. She would have commented on the Doctor’s daughter, growing Nao, suitably finding a poisonous flower and bending it to her will, seemingly immune to the effects of venom and decay. She would have brandished earnest smiles and whimsical accompaniments to Tangere’s fondness for ingesting their discoveries, would have been enamored by the opulence, the grandeur, the wonder set before them, arching and reaching for the next covenant, the next grail, to send them scattering in spirit and buoyancy. But all she felt were the furtive, restless edges of Imogen, apprehensive and tense, and it simmered along her body until she too was an embroiled, unsettled enigma along the meadow, waiting for the daunting fringe of shadows to hasten them into oblivion, to chase them away from Elysium, to be pulled into the embrace of anarchy. The nurse longed for none of these sentiments brewing in her veins, boiling in her heart, searing her flesh until each sliver of movement, each rub of fronds, each incandescent melody of birds rustling her untamed soul into tyranny. They’d known of horror, of terror, of sinister, nefarious requiems, of laments bursting across the horizon and bestowed upon their mortal souls (and was it wrong to wish it away, again and again), they’d fought, they’d survived, they’d conquered one more slash of the scythe – but this unseen, vile contortions bending into invisible lines, threatening to strangle, to suffocate, to unwind and persevere in the mutinous, hollowed world, left her flickering and bobbing in the unknown.
