Living on island time

After he was finally forced to part ways with Void again, he found himself avoiding going back home. Somehow it felt like going back to Ashen meant that the next period of waiting had officially began. As long as he didn't go back to his usual, mundane duties then he could pretend that time didn't have to pass... or at least that's what he told himself. Every time he had to go back to Ashen without Void at his side hurt more and more, but he refused to show that to the star spangled man. He never wanted Void to worry about him, especially not right now when he already had so much to deal with. As Plague moved around the coast of Auster and slowly began to work his way back up to the small islands that made up the archipelago, he kept eyeing an island that was a short distance off of the shore. There were curious structures and buildings obscured by the trees, though with how the weather currently ways the typically lush and vibrant plant life was wilted and browned if not completely gone or covered in snow. Still, it made him curious enough to use it in his continued excuses. He found a point where the curve of the main land went out to the farthest point possible toward the island before he set out across the short stretch of icy water. He was only in the water for a handful of minutes before he was pulling himself up onto the opposite shore. He gave himself a hard shake and then started moving deeper into the island, keeping himself moving to warm his legs back up. His head turned from one side to another as his emerald gaze slowly drifted over the various structures around him, letting his unusual surroundings act as a distraction. |
