Fractured memories [poseidon]

When the world twisted and transcended into something far greater then anyone could comprehend it seemed the queen of the mad had chipped away with its unknown path. Silence was welcoming. The water flowed around her head. The haze of pain and longing, moments past by, fleeting heart beats that begged for one more embrace but knowing it would never come. She felt the heat of her lungs, burning for air, demanding she set herself free and stop this odd behavior. She could feel the persona pushing at her edges. It was testing her will and pushing to take over and ensure her survival. She wasn?t attempting to lose her life. No, she had far to many counting on her to care for them but for this one moment she wanted to grieve and not be so strong. He was dead and it was strangling her.

Finally the lack of air brought the behemoth to the surface. Her dark ears were glued to her head. Violet eyes refocused and found the figure of a stranger standing by the banks. Her body was still submerged but her head bobbed on the surface like an ever-watchful crocodile. His voice broke free. Speaking but the words didn?t touch her ears. The pain was all consuming and all she saw was a moving muzzle and rumbling sound. She shook her head sending splashes of water around her as she pushed against the bottom of the water and towards the bank. Her odd coat was a mixture of blacks, grays, and soft violets.

Soon enough the woman made her way towards the shore. Her violet eyes locked on the stranger and she allowed her body to shake back and forth. Ridding her coat of the weight of the water. What had he said? She didn?t know. She had tried to hear him but it was all a blur. Was tomorrow here already? Had they missed her so that they had sent someone new to find her? ?Who are you?? her voice was a mixture of femininity and masculinity, all rolled into one sound, it was an odd combination and though many knew her she was still mistaken from time to time for a male rather then her actual birth gender. She was an in-between. Lost in the world of woman and man and clearly her body was unable to pick one or the other.
