I listened to the sound of my own crooked voice, surrendering what had been held so tightly inside. It was pitifully broken and shallow sounding to these bent ears. Hollowed out like the scars of angry life lines that had begun to run across my cheeks and under the brilliant eyes which usually held a brighter hue. The Oracle drew near and I very nearly flinched as her solid, tangible comfort became impending. Africa said nothing at first, offering only heat and support in a physical way that perhaps we both understand better than the mystery of heartsickness—without false words dripping forth as others might allow. My name on her lips is like the soft brush of a wing, her muzzle decorated with fuzzy hairs bumps against my shoulder. I lacked the resolve to turn toward her, relish in the simplistic peace of having a woman near, having a friend at hand.

For the briefest of moments I wondered if my life would keep treading down this fragmented path; would things ever mend themselves wholly? Or did my fate mean that future years would be met with bitterness, discontent. I’d lost nearly everything held dear during these painful months. Cera had been forced to murder a beast that took my face; now he could hardly stand to face me. Hototo spent his youth doing adult duties requested by his true father. And Ranjiri, little golden babe, she left after barely being weaned from milk. Ktulu, “She didn’t even say goodbye...it was…almost like our journey together, meant little in the end.”

I cared deeply for them all, and even now would rush to their sides should they beckon. Was there a way to move on? How could something like that been done when I saw them in my comrades surrounding us? The very gold that sprang from feet was a stern reminder, crimson eyes on a brash young stag took on a strange likeness to a certain dark mistress that still plagued my dreams. The pain of rejection would be forgiven, but never forgotten. A man was still a man, no matter the truth of his spirit. That first love, deeply imbedded in this soul would remain for the rest of existence.
