you said you'd wait forever, but I blinked and the world was gone
Calm as she’d been and terrified as she was to recall the memories and dreams, her small heart panged and ached… a kind of torment setting itself within her as Briella felt the sting of words and of soreness in her chest. To herself she recalled the freezing of her mane and tail, the failures that had become gifts; but to see the shifting emotions on Cyprin’s face was to see a wonder she had long lost.
Childlike and curious.
For this she finds herself smiling weakly, abashed and turning her head away as she chuckled dryly and allowed the singsong tone to again fill the air. “Me too, I wouldn’t have been able to meet you and share this story.” she paused, blinking and considering the girl as she was before nodding in sobered agreement with her. “I’m sure others in your family know just as much as I do about this, many of us came together and many of us tried to help. Whole nations and lands working together for a goal of stopping the plague and curing all of Beqanna.”
Noble as it sounded she focused. “I’m only that way because of the others I encountered. Dovev, Heartfire, Santana, and so many more. They allowed for me to have a strength that I had not before…” she admitted. Patient, however, Briella took an opportunity to study Cyprin and to truly consider the full range of the wild imagination and magic she possessed… the wonder and wild of her mind.
In some jealous manner she longed to have switched places, to be the girl hearing the story rather than the speaker; but Briella surmises that this is fine too and after a moment lifts a hoof to expose the dark gemstone and refracting surface… to shake the icicle strand of hair swept across her jewel-like eyes. “All of these were granted by the Fairies, reminders of the story I told you: of the things I’ve done. I’ve heard others had similar things, but some faded.”
Dropping them back and clearing her throat she noted the remark from before. “If you don’t mind me asking, I… have never experienced a family. Perhaps you could tell me a story about yours? About your feelings on them… clearly you love them after all.”
@[Cyprin] I am a jerk and I'm sorry!
