I could not do it… I could not be there as Ravenblack sucked the life from her,
I could not bring my bloodied body to her doorstep. So much had changed. I had
returned and as I did, she was losing the last of her breath. I could not walk
or run my war had left me with no energy not even for her. "I am sorry…" I
whispered, my acceptance eating me up just as much as anything else, and in my
head she said "Its OK. I love you."
And as I looked up I watched as snow fell, how lucky the devil was to have her
among his ranks as she disappeared into the earth once and for all.
I felt it like a gunshot. The blow came quick, but that didn't make it any
easier. Your link with Liander has been severed. I knew it was coming,
and I was scared. The fear of it rocked me to my core, and there was nothing I
could do to stop it. So I ran. I ran as fast as I could, until I knew I wouldn't
make it there in time. Reaching into the pocket of my jacket, I dug out my last
scroll of teleportation. I had to be there. Had to, even if it killed me. The
electricity flowed through my veins, and a moment later, I was there... Just in
time to see her in that last moment. She gave me the necklace, then. It was to
go to BlackBlank. The small trinket would be her final gift to my sister. Before
she faded, she asked a single thing of me. "Sire under Kaio," she said.
It [...]
It would be done. She wished it, and so it would be done. Then, she was gone.
Slipped from my arms, the most beautiful woman I knew I would ever see drifted
to the Dreaming, joining the ranks of the greatest in history. The tears came,
then. They flowed freely, and wouldn't stop. I phased in a mid-run, taking the
form of a wolf. Yes, the Wolfe. I'd hidden it 'til now, ashamed of the form.
Now, though, I would run in it with pride and pain, a pain so deep that I wanted
to die. I wondered, would a bullet through my temple actually kill me?
"Look after him, protect him. Take him in ensure he's a Wolfe." A last request
in my head, a small favor really. I slipped against the wall, I lay down and
wept for it all. I had at least gotten to say goodbye… I had at least found the
strength to hear her.
"No coming back, right my love. This was it. No pause, no hesitation, no weeks
of deliberation…" She was gone. I was alone. How tragic, a fitting end for a
demon. To be left alone. A fitting end for a queen to leave this world with so
many to weep, would even god weep at the loss of such a soul, who would touch so
many, monsters…
The tears rolled. I stayed still. No fury, no hate. This was the end of an epic
tale… I would spill blood on this December the 7th as a gift for her. I would do
what she loved me for. I would be a monster, and make myself feel like I was in
her embrace once more. Fitting… Most Fitting.
My legs couldn't carry me far enough, even in this, the purest form I could take
in her name. Tears blurred my vision as I ran, and it wasn't until I nearly ran
snout first into a tree that I could stop. No matter how fast or far I ran, I
couldn't escape the pain. The paws that were now mine dug deep into the ground,
scratching and clawing, desperately tearing at the earth in a blind fury, even
as I continued to weep. I howled, pain incarnate bellowing from me and my head
held to the heavens in an attempt to reach her. How could she be gone?! It
wasn't fair, wasn't right. The truest, purest woman on this earth, and I
couldn't keep her here. Was this karma, a twisted tribute for the sins I'd
committed? Howl after howl tore through me, eyes to the sky as the tears came
down.
I said nothing now; I accepted the silence, no blood from a sire, no voice of
love in my head. All remnants but the memories were gone. This was my moment of
silence… This was my goodbye.
Only she had earned so much from me, and only she could have given so much to
me.
"Thank you." I muttered, "Thank you."
