Lonely Soul
Crimson eyes close tightly as the babe begins to accept her self induced demise. There is not much else she can do at this point, she is no fool to the world's harsh realities. Her mind drowns with memories of her past as she sinks further into nothingness. Her mother, her non existent father, her kingdom, her starstruck lover. It was as if she was fading away to forever rewind the many memories of her life. But suddenly alarm courses through her body as sharp fangs grip her scruff. Her eyes snap open and instantly she feels them burn. Through her foggy vision she can make out the silhouette of a large creature dragging her upward. Bubbles escape from her maw as she opens her mouth in protest, a small gurgling noise erupting from her throat. Within seconds her head bursts through the waters surface, her chest burning as she gasps for air. She allows the man to drag her to the shore for she is too weak to swim there herself. Once she feels sand beneath her feet she attempts to move away from him, but can only make a few steps before she collapses on the beach. Her head aches as she struggles to keep her eyes open, her gaze lingering upon the figure standing a few feet away. What she sees is astonishing; a large man draped in ivory with black markings littered with flecks of golds. Puzzlement devours her features as she beholds his beauty. Was she... seeing things? Or was this handsome creature really her rescuer? "Wha-What?" Her voice cracks as she replies to him. She cannot understand him at all, and it worries her. Was she hallucinating?
