Zephrun’s Imperium Posted April 16, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2021 "No," she sobbed. "I just... I just..." I'm tired, she thought, unwilling to say it aloud. Though she longed to be able to trust him more than she did, she just... couldn't. Rose curled up into a ball on the gravel. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fallapede Posted August 16, 2021 Report Share Posted August 16, 2021 Quote Let's give this another go. Kieran cautiously followed after the trail of Rose's thoughts. Even from this far away, he could still faintly pick up on her anguish. Her thoughts were louder, somehow. He doubted it would be a pleasant experience when he found her, but clearly she needed whatever help he could offer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm tired, she thought, unwilling to say it aloud. Though she longed to be able to trust him more than she did, she just... couldn't. Rose curled up into a ball on the gravel. "Hey, I know you've been through some messed up stuff, and I know we haven't been getting along, but that doesn't mean I think your a bad person. You are not the villain in this story, Rose. You must never think that." He looked at the pathetic, wet heap of tear-stained flesh in front of him. "You've suffered long enough. Don't you think it's time to stand up? I'll wait as long as it takes for you to calm down, I'll wait for you. But when your ready, we've got work to do." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephrun’s Imperium Posted October 21, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2021 "Waiting on me isn't a good idea. I just... disappoint... everyone..."

Lecky Twig Posted October 22, 2021 Report Share Posted October 22, 2021 "We set out to do this job together, I don't want to do it alone. Our journey isn't over yet! I'll wait for you. Even if you never stand up, I'll be here waiting. No matter what you throw at me, or how the weather turns, I'll stay here and wait." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephrun’s Imperium Posted October 22, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2021 It was something her father would have said to her... Rose could picture him there. Waiting as Jahora was, ever-hopeful and loving. He would scoop her into his arms, his little Rosebud, and hold her through her nightmares. All her troubles would scramble at the sight of his muscular form and she... she would just lay there. Protected. "What will we do," she said, "if I get up?" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lecky Twig Posted October 23, 2021 Report Share Posted October 23, 2021 "What will we do, you ask?" A shadow fell over his face turning his vibrant blue eyes into murky navy pools swirling with unanswered vengeance. "We find Selene." His hands curled into a tight fist making the cold metal rings, that were buzzing with power, dig deep into his palms "We find Selene, and we kill her." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fallapede Posted October 23, 2021 Report Share Posted October 23, 2021 Kieran rounded the corner, rubbing his temples and avoiding looking at either of the two. "Anguish, despair, and bloodlust," he muttered. "Lovely." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephrun’s Imperium Posted October 23, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2021 Rose nodded. The mission. The bounty. She could focus on that. Suddenly empowered, she stood, then regarded little Kieran. “If it keeps me standing, I’m willing to feel it.” 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lecky Twig Posted October 26, 2021 Report Share Posted October 26, 2021 Jahora smiled up at Rose and stood up lazily. He was tired, like all of his emotions had been sapped from him like maple from a tree. "I guess we should get going then. Oh, hey Kieran." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zephrun’s Imperium Posted October 26, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2021 "Someone we need to kill," Rose growled. Her hair was a mess, her eyes red from sobbing, and she still trembled. And yet, she had such an aura of power about her. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fallapede Posted October 29, 2021 Report Share Posted October 29, 2021 "It's just something I've always been aware of. I'm not sure how I might practice it. I've tried shutting the voices out before but the level of focus required means I can't do anything else. I don't think it would work for her anyways. She's louder somehow. Perhaps there's simply a technique I'm missing, however." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lecky Twig Posted November 4, 2021 Report Share Posted November 4, 2021 "Do you know of anyone who could tell you what you're missing? How about you, Rose? Have you met someone or heard of someone that could potentially help Kieran? If not then I'm sure a solution will pop up sooner or later." He said optimistically. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
