Aurora - Rean Heart

You float in a void--darkness around you, above, below, in every direction, nothing. You stand on nothing, you even breathe nothing. But you do not feel in danger, you are not suffocating. You are simply existing in… Nothing.

"What is this curse? Can it be excised?"

[personal profile] voreaciously 2020-02-10 04:01 am (UTC)(link)
"So trying to untwist it would be harmful to you."

[personal profile] voreaciously 2020-02-10 04:10 am (UTC)(link)
She ponders this. "You had better."

NOT THAT SHE CARES!!!!

but she looks out to the corpses.

"This, though...what would happen if I buried the bodies? I am not trying to erase your actions, but..."

"If you'll excuse me for a little while."

She tries to will the scenery into giving her a very good shovel!

"It should be, do you not agree?"

She could easily will the setting different, but that feels...not right. Flippant. Like these lives weren't worth as much.

She shrugs, an elegant roll of her shoulders.

"I'm being selfish, I admit. I simply just do not care for this scenery."

Again, something she could change easily, and even though she says that, she clearly does nothing to shift it.

"You have enough work to do as it is. Since I take umbrage with it, I should take some responsibility and change it, myself."

[personal profile] voreaciously 2020-02-10 06:09 am (UTC)(link)
Without missing a beat.

"I most certainly can, because it is. I am simply not someone who rests on her laurels. That is all. I will be seeing you when I am finished, Instructor."

And she's off. She doesn't really get tired in the traditional sense, and since she believes she shouldn't, that should be even less of an issue in this heart, but she is going to seriously dig graves for.

Every.

Single.

Body.

It won't take as long as a human, but she is still only one (not-)person, so it's still going to take a long time.

[personal profile] voreaciously 2020-02-10 06:24 am (UTC)(link)
She's used to being in places where time shifts oddly, so spending weeks or months doing this, really is not a big deal to her.

Yes, it is terrible, but it's supposed to be.

Every time she finishes a grave, she wills gladiolus and white heather flowers to leave behind.

But knowing she is having an effect only makes her more determined, and she keeps at it.

She does use her magic to wash the blood away in a pure tide, not out of laziness or disrespect, this is simply the power of water. To cleanse and rejuvenate.

She is immensely powerful, but the fact that it stretches so far...is that something she could do normally or simply because she is using the power of belief in this place?

Perhaps it does not matter.

"The gladiolus flower signifies remembrance while white heather symbolizes protection and indicates that wishes will come true," she starts, as she finds him when her work is finally, finally finished.

"Are you crying?"

oh no OH NO? Is he gonna LOSE CONTROL? why is he upset??

[personal profile] voreaciously 2020-02-10 06:51 am (UTC)(link)
Her face softens and she imagines something very specific: that, at least for now, the chains don't disappear, they simply change. He is still bound, but they become several rings around her fingers, instead. He still will retain his emotional control, the curse will remain sealed as long as these rings exist, and they will continue to exist until she explicitly wills them otherwise.

She believes this with all her heart.

Then, and only then, will she close the distance to wrap her arms around his head and neck.

She gently, patiently pets his hair and does not hush him. She imagines there's so much he needs to let out.

She will wait for as long as it takes.
