Secret Filled Stars

The room spun for a moment, faces blurring and the sounds of chaos fading away to nothing as the brunette stood in the middle of it all and closed her eyes.  When she had stepped through the portal all those years ago, never did she think they would be facing chaos like this.  It was supposed to be better, their promised land.  But this, this wasn't a promised land.  This was hell on earth. The sounds rushed back, hitting her like a ton of bricks and she inhaled sharply, eyes flying open.  All around her, people were rushing past with gurneys filled with people dying, gasping for air, praying to the old gods and new to save them.  But the old gods had no power here and, honestly, the new gods didn't seem to have a handle on anything either.  All these poor, unfortunate souls had to save them were empaths with no magic who were just as lost as everyone else. "Indes!  Get over here!" her colleague shouted and she ran over, pulling her stethoscope from around her nec

Ly'oup, There are so many things I wish to tell you but I'm worried that I won't be able to find the words, that I won't be able to string them together like I used to.  I want to start by saying I'm so sorry.  I had wanted to be everything you thought I was.  I wanted to be so much better for you.

And I've lost that. I will always be here, Ad'iza

She'd given up trying to sleep at night.  At least until she'd had a bottle of wine or two in her.  Instead, she'd taken to pacing the halls of her empty manor, spiders living in the corners, a snake in its tank and her owl, her beloved companion, coming and going as she pleased.  Nothing felt right anymore, everything was chaotic and out of place. It had too long since she'd seen his face and his mother's ring still sat on her finger.  How she loved that ring and what it symbolized but more than that, how she loved the man that placed it there.  As she paced the halls, she caught sight of herself in the mirror and the phantom that stared back at her frightened her. She didn't recognized the haunted woman staring back at her. None of the life that had once filled her veins and colored her cheeks existed anymore.  Instead, she look fit to sit at Luukos' side, Queen of the Undead as it were.  The bottle breaking against her floor drew her attention and she jum
