There's never been a fairytale ending for us

There's a hole in my heart, can you fix it? There was alot that Tana still wanted, no needed to do. Rhyme had been there that day. She'd smelled him but she hadn't dared approach her lost love. She had been there as well and shaye she knew would have none of it. Of course she had wanted to run and had trembled the entire time but she didnt want Acere to think the coward she was wouldnt support what he was doing. Shed debated this for weeks as well. She had things she needed to say, and from the anger she smelled on him he likely needed an outlet before he took it out on one of their children. Oh her children. She missed each dearly, never once had she stopped loving them either. But she knew they would of been in danger likely had she stayed. She never truly understood what Shaye had been jealous of her for, she was a tiny little ugly woman. There was nothing shaye should of been jealous of. She smelled it long before she saw it though. Abaven was in ashes. Her ears pressed back as she stood where the border should of been. Where were the children? All five? She hoped none were harmed. That they had stayed near the water. Rhyme's patrolling would be disrupted then. She had the cloak pulled over her head and she stepped back from the border. No use waiting for him there. And they'd need herbs. She began her hobbling towards her den in the maw. It was still temporary, until she was to head to the north and find Acere. She was quick with grabbing her satchel and loading it down. Alone, marigold, boneset and dandelion was what she packed. She also gave a motion for her lemurs. Alma would of been most help for the Male but Basil could at least help with instructions on things. She hurried then with Alma clinging to her chest and basil on her back. Shed need to go to a border clost to the Rapids. The falls would be best she thought. Plus at this time of night Rhyme might be on the border there somewhere. Her ears pressed as she approached. She'd already told both lemurs to be silent. The only noise give was Basil giving a whooping call for Rhyme. She didnt want to howl and have her children recognize it. They didn't need to be reunited only for them to be ripped away again. It would only hurt them all. Likely rhyme had told them anyway that tana never loved them and that she abandoned them for that reason. She tried her best to steal herself as she sat at the border and started pulling out the herbs she'd had to spare. She was laying them neatly on the border and once she was done she stood and nosed Alma from her and felt basil slide off. They had their orders. Stay and help, then return to the maw and she'd be there to meet them. They were to keep her location to themselves though. She then began hobbling away with the two monkeys left behind awaiting Rhyme. Basil knew he was the only one she wanted to ever have the location of her den, which was stocked with herbs shed likely never use. He might kill her if they crossed paths but she wouldnt fight him on it. She was miserable. Her heart broken and spirit broken as well. He'd built her up only to allow her to be broken again. Question was could she even trust Acere to not do the same? -exit tana if Rhyme doesn't track her down?- Walk, "Tana", Think |
Tana is a flighty individual, with absolutely no will to fight. She might get scared and run mid-thread, I apologize in advance for this. Its nothing against your characters, she has just had a tough past and has a hard time trusting anyone.
