The Betrayal Knows My Name

So much time had passed. She was no longer the woman they knew her as... Hell, pretty much none of them really knew her. During her time with the sickness Destruction was reminded of a great many things. Misdeeds and blood she had spilled. She was a monster, in the end, and nothing would change that. Single orb would focus on Tahlia as the woman approached her. ?Tahlia...? The woman would greet quietly. Oh how her soft words hurt her heart. The woman would know soon enough the cause of her grief, the reason she felt this sharp pang of regret and pain in seeing her. ?I?m... I?m glad to see that your family has made it somewhere safe.? The words were still quiet, even reserved, trying to hold back her pained emotion. Bane would arrive not long after, seeming to be at a loss for her sudden appearance at the borders of the pack. She must have looked a sight too, compared to how they knew her from before. Both adults were here though... And they were the ones she needed to speak with so desperately. The woman would lift her head slightly, yet she would not smile. Not with the guilt she held within her heart. ?I have failed you both... Your family... As a friend... As one who had sworn to protect you. Even when I held the power to change things... I was so caught up on my word to Loccian to hold the pack together while she recovered from illness that I didn?t dare try to bring you back... So many mistakes had been made... And so much time wasted... That when I finally sought you all out the territory Bane had lived in was claimed by a pack...? The woman would let out a soft sigh. ?I know not if either of you care... But... Seracia is no more... Loccian abandoned the pack, leaving me to try and hold it together as wolves left us by the day. I doubt there was even a dozen of us left by the time the alpha challenge had come... And by then I was doing all I could to locate you... Arian was having her family seek you out as well to aid me. But... In the end all my mistakes have started to catch up to me. I lost Seracia... Even caught the sickness that spread through Alacritia that should have damned my body to death...? Destruction shook her head. ?I do not expect you to forgive me. I do not expect for you to feel pity for what has happened for me. I came here for neither, but I owed you explanation... And that is what I gave.? The woman dipped her head. ?If you feel the need to punish me for my sins... I will not stop you. Do what you will.? Such broken words... From a spirit that felt she was making the wrong turn no matter which way she went. Speech |
