True silence.
It was never quite there; hindered by the wind, the rustle of leaves or the white noise of a thriving forest. Could never grasp a world truly free of every vibrating molecule; what would that feel like? From the subtle thump of their hooves, to the whirl of winds beating, berating the foliage, Sia only wish she knew. She thought she had, but after each and every encounter with death a beat would always interrupt the injection of fear and pain that came with it. As if to mock the living with a brutal reminder; life.
Her thoughts stalled as the hooves ahead of her stumbled. Eyes, refocusing, but not just quite; the topography was shifting, and she’d been clueless. For a subtle moment she fought against her instincts to avoid the Basin. The mountains on either side warned her of a dead end. The frigid air wasn’t a feature she could appreciate, or the distinct scent that silently crept from all directions.
Light seemed to splinter across the forests they entered, dull sources that would dance across their bodies in soft glows. She gave them a skeptical glance; wary of their presence the farther they covered territory. The Haruspex was something to behold, holding her eyes for several more seconds before she whipped her attention to the sound of his voice. All she could hear was that voice. And after a moment of gathering herself, oblivious of the context he had spoken in, her eyes danced across the lake’s surface as she began.
“I’m afraid I never will.” She briefly glanced up, and smiled before she shifted closer to the water’s edge. Her eyes, wavering and tired, watched her own reflection. “Has it… always been this way? Dark.” She frowned before a grin curled against her maw. “You’re quite graceful in the dark.”
The anxiety continued to churn inside. Made her limbs numb regardless of whether or not it was really the cold. Her thoughts felt slow in her brain, or perhaps too fast and muddled all together. At least she could still talk, and she was somehow grateful for that.
