The Other Side

Ignored. She was ignored, and the feeling was certainly not pleasant. Argent was ever-devoted to her master, and yet she had become more and more overcome with the feeling that she was disposable to him. In horror, the Duchess observed the fight, overcome with the realization that there was nothing she could do about it. A blade could only cut what the master?s arm commanded it to, and thus she was frozen, unable to do anything. The sensation of being an item, of being a blade, had never been more difficult to swallow than it was now. Perhaps in another life she would fight and defend Taurig, but in this one she could not.

The battle ended without much resistance from Taurig, and stern orders from Isardis. When her love departed, Argent waited a moment longer, shooting the new Tortuga alpha a look that said it all. It was then that she left, already planning to return, planning to disobey for the very first time. ?exit-
