Suspicious of Strangers

"I'm glad you will allow me to come with you. I promise to not overstep any boundaries." With a deep nod, the male returned his gaze once more to the shining crystals above. He would follow Esperanza, just to make sure she was safe. Hyperion breathed a sigh of relief and squinted at the sparks of color and light. He suddenly felt claustrophobic and wanted to move. "When should we leave, dear Esperanza?" his voice was kind, but urgent. He slowly began to step backwards, toward the cavern entrance. His feet slipped slightly on a patch of loose pebbles, but other than that his exit was smooth. He turned around, keeping his friend at the corner of his vision. He didn't want to seem rude, just walking away. But the cave - as beautiful as it was - was beginning to suffocate him. Hyperion just wanted to get away from the old memories and look forward to the future. The rest of his life would be happy. He wouldn't let anything else go wrong. Forcing a smile, the male left the cavern where such dark pasts had been shared. Where tears had fallen. If he ever explored the cave again, it would be too soon. His memories would rest here, untouched and forgotten. For good this time. "Which way to the Glaciem territory?" OOC: Do you want this to be the end of the thread, Esperanza? |
