i crave pain

Lumine realizes that if she had come alone, she probably wouldn’t have had the bravery to continue. Yet, with Dom at her side, being close enough to protect her, to feel ever hair on the parts of him that brushed her, it settled whatever nervousness she felt. As long as he was by her side, they could face anything. Well, almost anything.

“What I do know about them is if this is a curse, whoever caused it did something really, really bad,” her lips quiver, teeth glinting in the red light of the sun as a shiver rolls down her spine. She really, truly hoped that this had nothing to do with gods and curses. If it did, they were doomed.

Trying to keep herself calm, Lumine follows Dom further into the spire filled land. Her eyes flick back and forth, sweeping from rusted metal pillar to the next, noticing how similar they all were. What wasn’t similar was what way they faced and the angles they leaned in. Unusual, but perhaps there was a purpose?

She listens to his words, a frown lacing her lips. Is that why he had stopped coming to visit along the border? Not that she had really kept trying. It was mostly her fault surely. She’d gone through some dark moments. A sigh leaves her as she smiles at Dom, her eyes crinkling at the corner. “How could would it have been if we could see each other from our mountains?” Her voice is soft as she admits it. Admits that she would have liked that even if she despised that mountain.
