When The Party's Over [ Ásvor]

Ásvor was at peace. A deep calm had settled over her and enveloped her like a warm blanket, the comfort only intensifying as she curled tightly against her wife. The end was near now, just around the corner - though she'd never feared death suddenly she was ready for it. The sickness was too much for her to bear, and feeling Valdis slipping away from her made it impossible to hold on any longer. Perhaps she could fight to stay alive for a few more days, even months, but for what? Her life had been lived fully. She had no regrets and there was nothing left undone. "Until we meet again," she breathed quietly against Valdis. She felt the life slip away from Valdis then, her breathing growing ragged and slow. How long she lay there she wasn't sure - it couldn't been minutes or hours - but she lay curled tightly around Valdis until she too took her final breath. With Valdis gone there was nothing left to fight for, and the knowledge that soon they'd be together in the afterlife was enough to allow her to cross seamlessly to the other side, without sign of a struggle. - exit via death - |
