Aplos Riverside
Moladion’s powerful, winding river...

I'll stop the whole world from turning into a monster, eating us alive. |
| I am running, there is no way to deny this fact. I had ran from Spirane and Natu, leaving them behind with tears threatening to break my mask. There was an aching feeling within me that pushed me to run farther and farther from the mountain. I didn't even know where I was going, all I knew was that I had to run because if I stopped the aching inside of me would overwhelm me. The sadness was cold, like the ice of the tundra slipping through my veins and making my body feel numb.
I made it to the riverside before my body gave out of me, before the ice froze me. I collapsed at the water side, panting heavily and my heart about to burst from my chest. My icy eyes stayed tightly shut, trying to push back the tears. Even when my body had calmed, I just continued to lay there, unable to move. I had never felt these feelings before, so useless, so unimportant. I was lost, lost without a purpose in this world and I didn't know how to find my way out. I didn't belong with the assassins, I had seemingly lost my skills there, and I didn't really belong as a spy. I had no purpose in my home, I was so unimportant to Spirane. I only had Natu and Eric, and both had more important things than to worry about me. Eric had his mate, Natu had her new rank. I was alone. I hadn't worked for a new rank because I didn't wish to challenge Natu. I didn't know what love was, and I was a decent friend at best, where had I gone wrong all these years? I found myself pushing myself to an upright position, staring at the refection of a wolf I didn't recognize in the water. I was alone, nobody followed me, so I allowed myself the liberty of letting the mask of a killer fade. Tears streamed down my cheeks, I couldn't remember a time i'd ever cried before, not even when I was a pup. Assassins didn't cry. |
