better with you

Her heart was torn. It was literally breaking as she stood in front of the pallid brute. Her loyalty to Glaciem versus her loyalty to herself and her own happiness. A loyalty she had never gotten to chase, thus far in life. Her loyalty to her gift, and her loyalty to those who needed her. Could she honestly just walk away from that? Could she live with herself if she did? She could see the pain that she was causing him, and she felt helpless. She didn't know what to do. God, she didn't know what to do. His words cut into her heart, and a sharp breath left her, as he mention the idea of fighting her battles. She couldn't think about it, couldn't think about what would happen if Isardis, the father of her children tore into someone as pure, as good as Seraphim. The thought froze her heart, and when the fear released her, it was beating wildly, echoing in her rib-cage. He stepped closer to her, and she looked up at him, blinking her golden eyes rapidly. His words, he was melting her resolve her reasons. All her logic. Suddenly she stepped closer to him, completely closing the gap between them, pressing herself into him, her words leaving her jaws a whisper. "Seraphim.. I want too be happy, but I can't let you fight my battles, God, help me I can't." Tears softly rained from her eyes, the sadness an emotion that she had been experiencing a lot as of late. "I don't see why you want to know me, but I can tell, you're good, Seraphim, so good, that I can't help but 'want' to know you as well..." Pulling back from him, she would look at him, her eyes cloudy with emotion. "It's not as simple as walking away. I can't just leave those under my care. There isn't yet another healer in Glaciem, a few warriors can do some, but no one whose whole life is healing... Seraphim, I can't leave them, even if it kills me not too." Stepping back away from him, she looked at the ground, her body shaking with emotion. Would she sacrifice her happiness for her duty? For her people? Yes. Without hesitation, even if it tore her apart, because that was the right thing to do and she knew better than most, that sometimes the right thing hurts the most. Her resolve was back, her eyes hardening. "I can't run away from my problems, it'll just create bigger problems. There has to be another way." Speech... |
