ooc: sneaking this in before the fight, and Somnium thread times heck yes!
Quivering breath slipped from her parted jaws, manifesting as mist before her eyes. How strange it seemed. The very act of breathing, the sensation of air flowing in and out of her was heightened in her intense awareness. This simple act taken for granted so many years?. soon she would break her last breath. Each passing of air in and out pounded in her skull. Reality was dawning quickly on her, heart racing. Blue eyes closed softly, a hushed prayer to the gods. For their presence and indeed she could feel them. Was sure of it. In the racing of her heart, in the light of the moon, in the mist that formed among her breath. For so long she'd walked not only in the world of the living but the world of her visions and at last they were going to merge into one and she would be able to continue to serve her family and her pack. A three-legged, physical being was of little use to a viking clan. But a messenger for the gods? Truly, there was no greater service than for her blood to be shed for those she cared most for. Au?ra would not let them down. She new many would be shocked but they were either faithless or they could not understand the depths of her love. Au?ra felt her sister's tongue on her face. The warmth spreading through her body. The trust, absolute and unbreakable. A small part of her felt the sting of guilt in asking her sister to do this. There was cruelty in this act there was no denying, but spring blossomed from winter's cold bosom. From sacrifice would bloom blessing. Au?ra smiled softly, moving to nuzzle her sister. "Jeg elsker deg ogs?. Katja, Jeg er stolt av deg." They would meet again she knew it. Au?ra's legs folded gracefully beneath her as her sister's jaws moved to her throat. There was no one else here. It might as well have been empty for all Au?ra could focus on was her sister. It was as though the two of them were separated from the world in time that flowed suddenly slowly. Wide blue eyes sought to meet Katja's as she smiled reassuringly. It was the duty of a big sister to look after the younger. Admittedly something Au?ra felt she'd failed to do. But that ended here. She would keep a celestial eye on her sister from this point on and for always. And when death finally claimed her sister, Au?ra would be the first to welcome her. A breeze shifted through the trees, carrying with it the scent of the ocean. There. There in that subtlest of gestures was the presence of the gods. She was to journey now?. Jaws snapped shut around her throat. Pain burst through her skull as her breath jerked sharply from her lungs. She could feel the blood pouring from her unguarded throat. Warmth spread all around her and she marveled at the sensation, vision blurring as her sight filled with moonlight. A rush of air slipped over her tongue and into her lungs as her body felt suddenly cold, her mind swimming in confusion but only for a moment. Katja. Katja was here. Breath slipped out of her body, gliding over her tongue with a slight tingle before her vision went suddenly dark. "Speech" |
