Zephyr
Night falls over them swiftly, dangerously, and as the sky turns from a swirl of pink and orange to black, she begins to grow nervous. Darkness had once shrouded her world; a whole land of secrecy was sitting right before her, but she was unable to do anything but wonder what was out there.
Almost as if on cue, her vision shifts and she can see as clearly as she could during the daytime. How curious this power was. She blinks several times, wondering if this was some cruel trick Carnage was playing on her, but she finds that it is real and she has nothing to fear. Her heart beat slows, and she pulls herself to a faster gait to keep up with Longclaw's stride.
"I came here a few years ago," She mutters simply, leaving out the part about how she literally stumbled across Tephra after being abandoned. Leaving out the part where Krigare took her in and led her around the volcano until she could navigate it almost perfectly. It didn't seem like information he had to know, so she kept it to herself.
To her surprise, she is able to slide down the embankment quite easily and wade into the water just as he had. Feet propel her through it easily as she listens to his story, and finally they emerge across the stream and back to land. For a moment she lets the water linger over her frame, the cool liquid a heavy contrast from Tephra's humidity, until finally she shakes it off.
"I've been blind nearly my entire life," She begins to tell him, walking beside him. "I've always imagined there was a whole world to be a part of, but never got an opportunity..." She ponders this for a moment. "But now...I feel like I can actually be something...other than 'the blind girl'."
when it's said and done, we'll have our scars to show
